Objective: To investigate the characteristics of posterior segment lesions in Marfan syndrome (MFS) patients and their relationship with anterior segment biometric parameters and FBN1 genotype. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 121 MFS patients, 76 males and 45 females, with an average age of (11.72±11.66) years, who visited the Department of Ophthalmology, Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University from January 2013 to March 2023 were included. The presence of posterior scleral staphyloma was observed using B-mode ultrasound, and macular lesions were identified and classified using the atrophy-traction-neovascularization system based on ultra-widefield fundus images, color fundus images, and optical coherence tomography scans. Anterior segment biometric parameters, including axial length of the eye, average corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism, horizontal corneal diameter, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness, were collected, and the direction and extent of lens dislocation were observed. Molecular genetic analysis of FBN1 gene mutations in patients was performed using next-generation sequencing based on a panel of ocular genetic diseases, and the impact of the genotype and anterior segment biometric parameters on the posterior segment manifestations was analyzed. Results: Sixty patients exhibited posterior segment lesions, including retinal detachment (4 cases, 3.31%), macular lesions (47 cases, 38.84%), and posterior scleral staphyloma (54 cases, 44.63%). There was statistically significant difference in axial length of the eye between patients with and without posterior scleral staphyloma [23.09 (22.24, 24.43) and 27.04 (25.44, 28.88) mm], between patients with and without macular lesions [23.16 (22.24, 24.61) and 27.04 (25.74, 28.78) mm], and between patients with and without atrophic macular lesions [23.16 (22.24, 24.61) and 27.04 (25.74, 28.79) mm] (all P<0.001). There was statistically significant difference in anterior chamber depth between patients with and without macular lesions [3.11 (2.75, 3.30) and 3.34 (3.09, 3.60) mm] (P<0.05). There was also statistically significant difference in corneal astigmatism between patients with and without posterior scleral staphyloma [2.15 (1.20, 2.93) and 1.40 (1.00, 2.20) diopters] (P<0.05). The location and region of the FBN1 gene mutation not only showed statistically significant difference from the positive rates of posterior scleral staphyloma and macular lesions (all P<0.05), but also influenced the occurrence of atrophic macular lesions (both P<0.05). Patients with FBN1 mutations located in the transforming growth factor β regulatory sequence had the highest proportion of posterior scleral staphyloma and macular lesions (both 10/11). Conclusions: Posterior scleral staphyloma and macular lesions have a relatively high incidence in MFS patients and tend to progress to more severe grades. The age, axial length of the eye, anterior chamber depth, corneal astigmatism, and location and region of the FBN1 gene mutation are factors affecting the posterior segment lesions in MFS patients.
目的： 探讨马方综合征（MFS）患者眼后节病变的特征及其与眼前节生物学参数及FBN1基因型的关系。 方法： 横断面研究。收集2013年1月至2023年3月于复旦大学附属眼耳鼻喉科医院眼科就诊的MFS患者121例，其中男性76例，女性45例；年龄为（11.72±11.66）岁。采用B超观察是否存在后巩膜葡萄肿，根据超广角眼底像、彩色眼底像和相干光层析扫描结果观察是否存在黄斑病变并判断其类型。黄斑病变按照萎缩-牵引-新生血管分级系统进行分类。收集患眼眼前节生物学参数，包括眼轴长度、角膜平均曲率、角膜散光度数、角膜水平径、前房深度及晶状体厚度，并观察晶状体脱位的方向和范围。采用基于面板的全眼科遗传病基因组进行下一代测序对患者的FBN1基因突变进行了分子遗传学分析，并分析基因型和眼前节生物学参数对眼后节表现的影响。 结果： 共有60例患者出现眼后节病变，包括视网膜脱离（4例，3.31%），黄斑病变（47例，38.84%）和后巩膜葡萄肿（54例，44.63%）。是否合并后巩膜葡萄肿［23.09（22.24，24.43）和27.04（25.44，28.88）mm］，以及是否合并黄斑病变［23.16（22.24，24.61）和27.04（25.74，28.78）mm］的患者间，眼轴长度的差异均有统计学意义（均P<0.001）；是否合并萎缩性黄斑病变的患者，眼轴长度差异亦有统计学意义［23.16（22.24，24.61）和27.04（25.74，28.79）mm，P<0.001］。是否合并黄斑病变的患者中，前房深度［3.11（2.75，3.30）和3.34（3.09，3.60）mm］的差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）；是否合并后巩膜葡萄肿的患者中，角膜散光度数［2.15（1.20，2.93）和1.40（1.00，2.20）D］的差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。FBN1基因突变的位置和区域与后巩膜葡萄肿及黄斑病变的阳性率之间的差异有统计学意义（均P<0.05）。FBN1突变的位置和区域会影响萎缩性黄斑病变的发生（均P<0.05）。FBN1突变位于转化生长因子β调节序列的患者后巩膜葡萄肿和黄斑病变的占比最高，均为10/11。 结论： MFS患者后巩膜葡萄肿和黄斑病变的发生率较高，并且倾向于向严重程度更高的分级发展。年龄、眼轴长度、前房深度、角膜散光度数，以及FBN1基因突变位点所在位置及区域均是MFS患者眼后节病变的影响因素。.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of anterior segment parameters using the Scheimpflug corneal topography 1 year after surgery in patients who underwent sutureless scleral fixation intraocular lens (SFIOL) implantation using the modified Yamane technique and retropupillary iris-claw intraocular lens (RPIOL) implantation.
METHODS: A total of 60 eyes from 57 patients who underwent sutureless SFIOL implantation and 57 eyes from 52 patients who underwent RPIOL implantation were included. Anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber angle (ACA), anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior-posterior corneal astigmatism, and keratometric values were assessed using the Scheimpflug corneal topography (Pentacam HR, Germany).
RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative UCVA and BCVA between the sutureless SFIOL and the RPIOL group (p = 0.236, p = 0.293, respectively). While there was no statistically significant difference in postoperative IOP between the two groups (p = 0.223), a statistically significant decrease in IOP was observed in both groups (p < 0.001). While there was no statistical difference between the sutureless SFIOL group and the RPIOL group in terms of spherical value (p = 0.441) and spherical equivalence (p = 0.237), there was a statistically significant difference in cylindrical value (p < 0.001). While there was a statistical difference in anterior astigmatism (p < 0.001), there was no statistical difference in posterior astigmatism (p = 0.405). There was no statistical difference in terms of ACV, ACD, and ACA between the sutureless SFIOL and the RPIOL group (p = 0.812, p = 0.770, p = 0.401, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, although there was a statistical difference in cylindrical value and anterior corneal astigmatism between the sutureless SFIOL and RPIOL groups, vision was not affected. According to this study, sutureless SFIOL and RPIOL are two successful methods in terms of visual acuity, anterior segment, and keratometry outcomes in aphakic patients after phacoemulsification.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of pregnancy on the anterior chamber, corneal parameter, and intraocular pressure measurements; and compare the results between trimesters, postpartum and non-pregnant healthy age-matched women.
METHODS: This prospective study included 41 pregnant women and 53 non-pregnant women. Four measurements were taken from the pregnant women, in each trimester and postpartum third month, and once from the control group. Of the individuals included in the study, anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), K1 (flat keratometry), K2 (steep keratometry), Kmean (mean value of K1 and K2), anterior chamber angle (ACA), central corneal thickness (CCT), thinnest corneal thickness (TCT), astigmatism value (AST), corneal volume (CV), biometry, axial length (AL), spherical equivalent (SFEQ), intraocular lens power (ILP), VA (visual acuity) datas were recorded.
RESULTS: We observed a statistically significant decrease in K2, CCT, ACD, AL and CV in the postpartum period (p = 0.025, p < 0.001, p = 0.029, p = 0.005, p = 0.004 respectively) and a statistically significant increase in ACV, CCT, and TCT as the gestational week progressed in the pregnant group (p = 0.007, p < 0.001, p = 0.025, respectively). A statistically significant decrease in IOP towards to the third trimester, and an increase in the postpartum period was observed (p < 0.001). We did not observe statistically significant changes in K1, Kmean, AST, ACA, VA, ILP, and SFEQ values.
CONCLUSIONS: It is important to investigate the physiological changes that may occur during pregnancy, distinguish them from pathological changes, and avoid unnecessary treatment. We consider that it\'s also important to guide the timing of anterior segment surgeries such as cataract and refractive surgery and to prescribe glasses/contact lenses.

This case report aims to present the findings of in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in three patients with iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome. Three female patients 37, 50, and 57 years of age presented with complaints of unilateral visual impairment and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Biomicroscopy revealed unilateral pupil irregularities and anterior synechiae, and gonioscopy demonstrated synechiae in the iridocorneal angle. IOP was within normal limits with medical treatment in two patients, while one patient had an IOP of 44 mmHg despite maximal antiglaucomatous treatment. IVCM revealed large, polymorphic, and hyperreflective cells in the corneal endothelial layer of the affected eyes and normal corneal epithelium, stroma, and endothelium in the fellow eyes. AS-OCT findings were normal in healthy eyes, while the affected eye showed synechiae in the iridocorneal angle and a hyperreflective, thickened endothelial layer. The patient with refractory glaucoma underwent trabeculectomy surgery with 5-fluorouracil. In conclusion, IVCM and AS-OCT allow a detailed examination of endothelial cell abnormalities and iridocorneal membranes in ICE syndrome, which is characterized by unilateral pupil and iris irregularities and anterior synechiae mainly in women.

To optimize and evaluate the accuracy of the vault-predicting formula generated from a very high-frequency digital ultrasound robotic scanner (Artemis Insight 100). The relationship between the achieved lens vault (LVa) at one month after intraocular collamer lens (ICL) implantation surgery and the predicted vault (LVp) was analyzed by a retrospective study, and an optimized formula was built up. Then, the accuracy of the optimized vault-predicting formula was evaluated in a prospective study by comparing the LVa and the predicted vault from the optimized formula (LVop). The retrospective study included 77 patients (133 eyes) while the prospective study enrolled 90 patients (170 eyes). The difference between LVp and LVa at one month after surgery was statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the linear regression analysis of LVa against LVp yielded a good fit (R2 = 0.68). The optimized vault-predicting formula was LVop (μm) = 1.21 × LVp (μm) + 124.73. In the validation study, the difference between LVop and LVa was not statistically significant (P = 0.10), and a good agreement between LVop and LVa was shown by Bland-Altman analysis. The optimized vault-predicting formula could predict the actual LV after ICL implantation surgery, help to select an appropriate ICL size and reduce the need for re-operation.

OBJECTIVE: The growing push to integrate telemedicine into ophthalmic practices requires physicians to have a thorough understanding of ophthalmic telemedicine\'s applications, limitations, and recent advances in order to provide well tolerated and appropriate clinical care. This review aims to provide an overview of recent advancements in the use of ophthalmic telemedicine for anterior segment eye examinations.
RESULTS: Virtual care for anterior segment evaluation relies on appropriate technology, novel workflows, and appropriate clinical case selection. Recent advances, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, have highlighted the utility of home-based assessments for visual acuity, external evaluation, tonometry, and refraction. Additionally, innovative workflows incorporating office-based testing into virtual care, termed \'hybrid telemedicine\', enable high-quality ophthalmic testing to inform clinical decision-making.
CONCLUSIONS: Novel digital tools and workflows enable high-quality anterior segment evaluation and management for select ophthalmic concerns. This review highlights the clinical tools and workflows necessary to enable anterior segment telehealth.

The renewed focus on eye growth in preterm-born children was primarily triggered by Danish cohort studies, including the Copenhagen Project, which focused on children born from 1959-1961. The retinotoxic effects of excessive oxygen on premature neonates had long been clarified and therapeutically adjusted for. Later, ultrasound oculometry and keratometry established that ocular size deficits, linked to development, also occurred in normally developing children, not just frail outliers. This indicated that general catch-up had not been achieved. This paper discusses whether one early segment of eye development does not occur in preterm, and here even in more robust neonates, without later compensation.

UNASSIGNED: Differentiation of iris and ciliary body lesions as benign or malignant and cystic or solid is important. The aim of this study was to compare anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography (AS SS-OCT) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) findings in iris and ciliary body tumors.
UNASSIGNED: Forty-two eyes of 38 cases with iris and ciliary body tumors imaged with UBM and AS SS-OCT between September 2018 and September 2023 were evaluated retrospectively.
UNASSIGNED: Of 42 eyes, 14 had melanoma, 14 iris pigment epithelial (IPE) cysts, 7 nevi, 3 Lisch nodules, 2 iris stromal cysts, 1 pars plana cysts, and 1 iris mammillations. An equivalent (100%) visualization of the anterior tumor margin was obtained with both techniques. Compared to AS SS-OCT, UBM was superior for posterior margin visualization in melanocytic tumors and IPE cysts. Bland-Altman plots demonstrated good agreement between UBM and AS SS-OCT for melanocytic tumors < 2.5 mm in base diameter and < 2 mm in thickness.
UNASSIGNED: Although, UBM is the gold standard for ciliary body and iridociliary tumors. AS SS-OCT should be considered as an excellent alternative to UBM, especially in minimally elevated iris lesions.

Congenital corneal staphyloma is a rare congenital malformation with guarded visual potential. The cornea is opaque, markedly ectatic, and lined by uveal tissue with a variety of associated anterior segment abnormalities. In this case report, the detailed histopathology of this condition is highlighted with an unusual finding of the malformed lens. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2024;61(3):e28-e32.].
