To investigate the prevalence and time trends of refractive error (RE) among Chinese children under 18 years old.PubMed, Embase, Web of Science were searched for articles that estimated prevalence of RE in Chinese children. Data...
To report a case of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) associated with acute progression of lacquer cracks in high myopia.A 41-year-old female patient with high myopia developed typical signs, symptoms, and disease...
Crosslinking involves the formation of bonds between polymer chains, such as proteins. In biological tissues, these bonds tend to stiffen the tissue, making it more resistant to mechanical degradation and deformation. In...
To investigate the association of keratoconus (KC) with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and to describe the epidemiological characteristics of MGD in this disease.In this observational study, 120 KC patients seen in the...
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of alopecia areata (AA) on the ocular surface and conjunctival cytology.A total of 48 subjects were included in the present study. Twenty-three subjects were assigned to...
The lacrimal exocrinopathy of primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is one of the main causes of severe dry eye syndrome and a burden for patients. Early recognition and treatment could prevent irreversible damage to lacrimal...
To explore whether there is an association between dietary choline intake and odds of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in the US diabetic population.A cross-sectional study was conducted using the combined data of the National Health...
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common and serious microvascular complication in the diabetic population. Using computer-aided diagnosis from the fundus images has become a method of detecting retinal diseases, but the...
The implementation of a population-based screening programme for diabetic retinopathy involves several challenges, often leading to postponements and setbacks at high human and material costs. Thus, it is of the utmost...
