With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, its application in the field of healthcare is bringing revolutionary changes. Cataracts, as one of the most common reversible visual impairments worldwide, still face many practical issues in terms of limited medical resources, low diagnostic accuracy, and low referral efficiency. Therefore, it is crucial to utilize AI technology's powerful computational analysis and intelligent decision-making capabilities to optimize traditional medical practices and safeguard people's visual health.This article investigates the applications of AI technology on a new model of hierarchic diagnosis and treatment for cataracts, including automatic analysis and recognition of cataract images, remote healthcare, and referral support. These applications can bring significant benefits and important impacts to cataract patients, society, and governments. They can help improve the efficiency of cataract diagnosis and treatment, alleviate the imbalance of medical resources, optimize the allocation and management of healthcare resources, and promote societal health progress.However, the practical application of AI technology also faces risks and challenges. It is important to fully prioritize and protect patients' data privacy and security by establishing strict regulatory and oversight mechanisms. Additionally, continuous efforts should be made to enhance technological innovation and comprehensively evaluate the robustness, fairness, and interpretability of AI algorithms to further improve the accuracy and trustworthiness of AI systems.
据统计，目前全球有近14亿近视人口，近视已成为全球主要的健康问题。近视不仅影响个人的视力健康，还可能引发多种严重的并发症，如高度近视相关的黄斑变性和视网膜脱离等，严重时可导致失明。除了对个人健康的影响，近视还带来了巨大的经济负担，包括直接医疗成本(如眼镜、隐形眼镜、矫正手术等费用)和间接成本(如生产力下降、学习能力降低和生活质量的下降)。在中国，近视的问题尤其显著，近视患病率居高不下，这不仅对个人健康构成威胁，也对社会和经济造成重大影响。国际上，近视的经济负担研究涵盖了医疗直接成本、患者时间成本及生产力损失等方面，可以帮助政府和卫生部门了解近视疾病的经济影响，从而制定合理的公共卫生政策和资源分配策略，优化医疗资源使用，减少社会成本。该文从近视疾病经济负担的构成及其测算方式、国内外经济负担现况等方面对近视疾病经济负担进行简要综述，旨在提供一个关于近视疾病经济负担的综合性认识，指出当前研究的方向和成果，以及预防近视和减轻其经济负担的重要性，为未来研究提供方向和基础。
It is estimated that there are nearly 1.4 billion myopic people in the world, and myopia becomes a significant global health problem. Myopia not only affects visual health, but also leads to serious complications such as macular degeneration and retinal detachment, which can cause blindness in severe cases. Apart from its impact on health, myopia also imposes a substantial economic burden. This burden includes direct medical costs (e.g., expenses for eyeglasses, contact lenses, and corrective surgeries) as well as indirect costs (e.g., reduced productivity, learning abilities, and quality of life). The prevalence of myopia is particularly high in China, posing a threat not only to individual health, but also to society and the economy. International studies on the economic burden of myopia have examined the direct medical costs, patient time costs and productivity loss. These studies help governments and health authorities understand the economic impact of myopia to develop effective public health and resource allocation strategies.. By optimizing medical resources and reducing social costs, these measures aim to alleviate the economic burden. This article provides an overview of the economic burden of myopia, including its definition, measurement, current status at home and abroad, and the importance of prevention and alleviation. It also highlights the current research directions and findings, to provide focusing fields and foundations for future research.
糖尿病视网膜病变是最为常见的糖尿病微血管并发症，主要由糖尿病引起的机体代谢紊乱导致。而然在临床工作中发现，部分患者通过单纯控制血糖以延缓糖尿病视网膜病变进展，所取得效果不甚理想，一些其他因素对于糖尿病视网膜病变的发生、发展，也起到不可忽视的作用。研究表明，在并发高脂血症的糖尿病视网膜病变患者中，胆固醇代谢异常是诱发视网膜病变的主要原因之一。胆固醇代谢异常通过减弱肝脏X受体，导致胆固醇在视网膜上不断积累，降低视网膜血管内皮功能，从而造成视网膜缺血、缺氧环境的形成，又可通过增加炎症因子和细胞黏附分子-1的表达，使原本病态的糖尿病视网膜血管变得更加脆弱，该文总结了糖尿病视网膜病变的病理因素，对比分析当前糖尿病视网膜病变的主要治疗手段，通过分析胆固醇逆向转运(cholesterol reverse transport,RCT)途径转运对糖尿病视网膜病变发生、发展的影响，发现降低高血脂可提高糖尿病视网膜病变的治愈率，这将为糖尿病视网膜病变的临床防治工作提供新思路。
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic microvascular complication, which is mainly caused by metabolic disorders caused by diabetes. However, in clinical work, it is found that some patients do not achieve satisfactory results in delaying the progress of diabetic retinopathy by simply controlling blood sugar, and some other factors contribute to the occurrence and development of diabetic retinopathy. Also played a role that can not be ignored. Studies have shown that abnormal cholesterol metabolism is one of the main causes of retinopathy in diabetic retinopathy patients with hyperlipidemia. Abnormal cholesterol metabolism leads to the accumulation of cholesterol in the retina and the decrease of retinal vascular endothelial function by weakening the X receptor in the liver, resulting in the formation of retinal ischemia and hypoxia environment. it can also increase the expression of inflammatory cytokines and cell adhesion molecule-1 to make the originally morbid retinal vessels more fragile. This paper summarizes the pathological factors of diabetic retinopathy. By comparing and analyzing the main treatment methods of diabetic retinopathy at present, and by analyzing the influence of cholesterol reverse transport (cholesterolreversetransport,RCT) pathway on the occurrence and development of diabetic retinopathy, it is found that reducing hyperlipidemia can improve the cure rate of diabetic retinopathy, which will provide new ideas for the clinical prevention and treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
Terson综合征又称蛛网膜下腔出血合并玻璃体积血综合征，是一种较为罕见的眼科疾病。患者多因颅内出血而存在意识障碍、沟通困难，极易漏诊，错过最佳治疗时机。该文报道了一例30岁男性患者，因弥漫蛛网膜下腔出血，突发昏迷，于发病1个月后出现双眼视物模糊，最终确诊为双眼Terson综合征，并行双眼玻璃体切割术及右眼视网膜前膜剥膜术治疗。术后54 d，患者左眼视力由指数/5 cm恢复至矫正视力0.3。术后19 d，患者右眼视力由手动/20 cm恢复至矫正视力0.12。
Terson syndrome, also known as subarachnoid hemorrhage combined with vitreous hemorrhage syndrome, is a relatively rare ophthalmic condition. Patients mostly have impaired consciousness and communication difficulties due to intracranial hemorrhage, which makes it very easy to miss the diagnosis and the best time for treatment. This article reports the basic case of a 30-year-old male patient with sudden coma due to diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage. And he had blurred vision in both eyes 1 month later, which was finally diagnosed as binocular terson syndrome. He was treated with vitrectomy in the left eye and vitrectomy + anterior retinal detachment surgery in the right eye. The visual acuity of patient was restored from finger count/5cm to corrected visual acuity of 0.3 in the left eye when 54 days after surgery and from manual/20 cm to corrected visual acuity of 0.12 in the right eye when 19 days postoperative.
In this case reportit describes a novel technique using indocyanine green gel for the surgical excision of conjunctival lymphangiectasia (CL). CL was found on the nasal side of left eye in a 50-year-old male. Surgical excision of the entire cystic lesion with an intact cyst wall was completed with the assistance of an indocyanine green (ICG) gel. No sutures were used throughout the entire procedure. Subsequent post operative follow-up was uneventful. Herein, we report a novel technique used to facilitate the identifcation and complete removal of an intraocular cystic lesion ensuring an intact cyst wall.

There was no significant change in retinal thickness before and after using 1% atropine gel (P > 0.05).Conclusion: No changes were found in the thickness of choroid and retina in hyperopia children after short-term use of1% atropine gel.
Although amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) has long been used as an essential surgical technique for ocular surface reconstruction, its role continues to evolve and expand. In the management of numerous ocular surface disorders, ranging from inflammatory to infectious, traumatic to neoplastic, the ability to perform AMT is a valuable addition to the skillset of any ophthalmologist. The purpose of this paper is to provide ophthalmologists with an updated, evidence-based review of the clinical indications for AMT in corneal and conjunctival reconstruction, reviewing its common and even experimental applications known to date. The methods of amniotic membrane preservation, the available commercial amniotic membrane products to date, and future directions for amniotic membrane use, including amniotic membrane extract eye drops (AMEED), are also discussed. It is paramount for ophthalmologists to stay up-to-date on the applications of AMT so as to effectively incorporate this versatile treatment modality into their practice,both in the operating room and in the clinic. By familiarizing the general ophthalmologist with its diverse applications, we hope to motivate general ophthalmologists to incorporate the use of AMT into their clinical practice, or provide guidance on how to recognize when referral to a corneal specialist for amniotic membrane application is prudent.

目的：了解湿性老年性黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration,AMD)患者自我感受负担(self-perceived burden,SPB)现状及其影响因素。方法：采用方便抽样法选取2021年1月至11月在中山大学中山眼科中心就诊的204例湿性AMD患者为研究对象，采用一般资料调查表、SPB量表、家庭支持自评量表、医学应对问卷对其进行测评。结果：患者SPB得分是(21.98±6.68)分，总体属于轻度SPB。湿性AMD患者的SPB水平与家庭支出(r=?0.326, P<0.001)和面对应对(r=?0.365, P<0.001)呈负相关，与回避(r=0.456, P<0.001)及屈服(r=0.310, P<0.001)应对方式呈正相关性。多重线性回归显示，独居、高龄、自费、双眼患病及采用回避应对的患者的SPB更高，而高文化水平、高家庭支持的患者SPB较轻。结论：湿性AMD患者有轻度SPB，但仍存在改善空间，医护工作者在工作中应重点关注高龄、文化程度低、家庭收入低、自费、独居、双眼患病及低视力的患者，及时进行心理疏导，减轻患者的SPB水平。
Objective: To understand the current status and influencing factors of self-preceived burden (SPB) in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: 204 patiens with wet AMD who were treated in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University from January to November 2021 were enrolled as the study subjects with convenience sampling method. A general information questionnaire, SPB scale, family support self-assessment scale, and medical coping questionnaire were collected from the subjects for assessment. Results: The patient’s SPB score was 21.98±6.68, which is generally mild SPB. The SPB level of patients with wet AMD was negatively correlated with family support (r=-0.326, P<0.001) and coping (r=?0.365, P<0.001), and were positively correlated with avoidance (r= 0.456,P<0.001), and surrender (r=0.310, P<0.001) coping style. Multiple linear regression showed that the patients who lived alone, were elder and self-funded, had binoclur diseases and used avoidance coping, had higher SPB. While the patients with high education and family support had lower SPB. Conclusions: It is still needed to pay attention to the patients with AMD having mild SPB. Medical workers should focus on patients with elder age, low education level, low family income, self-funded, living alone, binocular disease and low vision in their work, and provide timely psychological counseling to reduce the SPB level of patients.
外泌体(exosome)是直径30 nm~150 nm的纳米级囊泡，由脂质双分子层、蛋白质和遗传物质组成。人体内几乎所有类型的细胞都能分泌外泌体。它们在细胞通信、免疫调节、炎症反应和新生血管形成中起着关键作用。目前，外泌体已在肿瘤、心血管及泌尿系统中得到广泛研究。近年来，外泌体在眼科疾病中的作用受到越来越多的关注。外泌体在角膜病变、年龄相关性黄斑病变、糖尿病视网膜病变、青光眼等常见眼科疾病的发生、发展中发挥重要作用。不同间充质干细胞来源的外泌体在眼科疾病中的治疗潜力是当下的热点。间充质干细胞来源的外泌体具有与间充质干细胞相似的抗炎、抗凋亡、神经保护和组织修复的作用，因此外泌体可能是多种眼科疾病无细胞疗法治疗研究的新方向。进一步了解外泌体的生物学特性以及外泌体在眼科疾病的最新研究进展，将为相关眼病的发生机制和防治策略提供参考依据。
Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles with a diameter of 30 nm to 150 nm, which are composed of lipid bilayers, proteins, and genetic material. Almost all types of cells in the human body can secrete exosomes. Tey play key roles in cellular communication, immune regulation, infammatory responses and neovascularization. At present, exosomes have been widely studied in tumors, cardiovascular and urinary systems. In recent years, the role of exosomes in eye diseases has attracted more and more attention. The exosomes play an important role in the occurrence and development of common eye diseases such as keratopathy, age-related macular disease, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, etc. Currently it is a hot topic that the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles derived from diferent mesenchymal stem cells in eye diseases. Te exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells have anti-infammatory, anti apoptotic, neuroprotective and tissue repairing effects, which are similar to those of mesenchymal stem cells. Thus, exosomes may be a novel direction of research in the treatment of many eye diseases without cell therapy. Further understanding of the biological characteristics of exosomes and the latest research progress of exosomes in common eye diseases will provide reference for the pathogenesis and prevention strategies of related eye diseases.
甲状腺相关眼病是一种器官特异性自身免疫性疾病，其发病机制复杂，是成人最常见的眼眶疾病，且发病率逐年升高。该病不仅会导致眼球突出、眼睑退缩、睑裂扩大、眼球运动障碍等外观上的变化，且患者往往伴发眼红、眼痛、干涩、异物感、复视、视力下降等不适症状，其中眼表疾病的发病率较正常人明显增高，但其具体发病机制尚待进一步挖掘。目前研究表明甲状腺相关眼病患者的眼表损伤主要与眼表暴露增加、炎症侵犯、激素改变有关。角膜、结膜、泪膜、睑板腺等组织受累发生病理改变是患者表现出不同临床症状的直接原因。文章通过分析近年来国内外关于甲状腺相关眼病与眼表疾病等方面的相关研究，针对甲状腺相关眼病眼表损伤的病理改变及机制研究进展做一综述。
Tyroid-associated ophthalmopathy is an organ-specifc autoimmune disease with complex pathogenesis. It is the most common orbital disease in adults, and its incidence increases year by year. Tis disease can not only lead to appearance changes such as eyeball protrusion, eyelid retraction, eyelid cleat enlargement, eye movement disorders, and patients are ofen accompanied by red eyes, eye pain, dryness, foreign body sensation, diplopia, vision loss and other uncomfortable symptoms, among which the incidence of ocular surface diseases is signifcantly higher than that of normal people, but its specifc pathogenesis needs to be further explored. Current studies have shown that ocular surface injury in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy is mainly related to increased ocular surface exposure, infammatory invasion, and hormonal changes. Te pathological changes of cornea, conjunctiva, tear flm, meibomian gland and other tissues involved are the direct causes of different clinical symptoms of patients. In this paper, through the analysis of recent domestic and foreign studies on thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy and ocular surface diseases, the pathological changes and mechanism of ocular surface injury in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy were reviewed.
