BACKGROUND: Pseudoexfoliation (XFS) is a common cause of glaucoma in nowadays. Because of XFS causing irreversible blindness secondary to glaucoma (XFG), this study aims to identify the current prevalence of XFS among Xinjiang Province of China, and identify the hub genes involved in XFS. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted from 2007 to 2019 for patients aged 50 and older. All patients with XFS or XFG diagnosed by slit lamp exam were identified through chart review...

PURPOSE: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is a severe vision-threatening complication that can result into proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and re-detachment of the retina if recovery from surgery fails. Inflammation and changes in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are important contributors to the disease. Here, we studied the effects of simvastatin and amfenac on ARPE-19 cells under inflammatory conditions. METHODS: ARPE-19 cells were pre-treated with simvastatin and/or amfenac for 24 h after which interleukin (IL)-1α or IL-1β was added for another 24 h...

PURPOSE: To compare the surgical results in cases of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachments between standard scleral buckling (SSB) and scleral buckling with chandelier illumination (SBC) and to analyse the differences in SBC surgical results between an experienced ophthalmologist and inexperienced ophthalmologists. METHODS: Consecutive surgical case series of 155 eyes that underwent scleral buckling were retrospectively reviewed and divided into four groups: SSB performed by an experienced ophthalmologist (n = 54), SBC performed by an experienced ophthalmologist (n = 52), SBC performed by inexperienced ophthalmologists (n = 40) and SSB performed by inexperienced ophthalmologists (n = 9)...

PURPOSE: It is commonly accepted that phacoemulsification surgery is a risk factor for the development of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and may accelerate the process. This is an important consideration particularly in cases involving young patients who pre-operatively have no PVD, given the increased risk of retinal tears and detachments. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify studies reporting incidence of PVD post-uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to measure the Raman spectrum of the human corneal stroma lens obtained from small incision lenticule extraction surgery (SMILE) in Asian myopic eyes using a confocal Raman micro-spectrometer built in the laboratory. METHODS: Forty-three myopic patients who underwent SMILE with equivalent diopters between - 4.00 and - 6.00 D were selected, and the right eye data were collected. Corneal stroma lenses were obtained during surgery, and the Raman spectra were measured after air drying...
