To observe the retinal microvascular alteration during 3 months follow-up after Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) operation in moderate and high myopia patients using quantitative optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) analysis.
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that OCT-guided 110 µm targeted flaps will result in accurate, predictable, and precise thickness flaps, with low complication rates when performed and compared using both 2D and 3D flap geometry applications and how it correlated to visual experience and quality of life responses during the early postoperative period.
Refractive surgery for correction of myopia is very common nowadays. However, various refractive techniques may be associated with increase in the IOP, especially during flap creation. It is assumed that marked intraoperative IOP increase lead to macular and optic disc head circulation compromise. The purpose of this study is to assess the change of macular and papillary perfusion, using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging of the macula and optic disc of myopic patients before and after various refractive surgery methods.
Acucela Inc. intends to develop a medical device to significantly halt or reverse myopic progression, which is a significant public health concern across the world, especially in Asian demographics. Acucela is working towards a spectacle-like device (eSPECs), which will have a clear zone for unimpeded central visual tasks and a periphery that provides defocus in order to alter retinal physiology leading to myopia regulation. This study will establish the changes seen during a proof-of-concept that projected defocus in the periphery utilizing a wearable device will stimulate physiological changes similar to those in the literature.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the on-eye performance of an investigational soft contact lens compared to a commercially available soft contact lens when worn continuously for up to 1 week.

Near vision deterioration during aging results from a decrease in accomodation amplitude (AA). Myocardial regeneration is limited, and cardiac aging is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Thus, the investigators investigated the association between cardiac aging and AA. The subjects (500, mean 50-year-old subjects, with equal males and females) were divided into two groups according to AA measured with a Raf ruler. Biomicroscopy was used to capture images of the lens nucleus in the unaccommodated state, followed by images of a 4 diopter (D) accommodated state. The nucleus diameter change at 1 D accomodation was measured using ImageJ. Cardiac conduction system differences were evaluated using electrocardiography, and cardiac autonomic aging was assessed based on heart rate variability. Myocardial aging was assessed based on diastolic dysfunction.
In recent decade, a major improvement in vitreoretinal surgery was the use of small gauge surgical systems that improved the safety of vitrectomy and also reduced the surgical time. However, there were still some concerns regarding small gauge vitrectomy system, especially 27-gauge system, in the stability of its instruments and the efficacy of removing vitreous during surgery. Although there were some studies that had reported the surgical outcomes of 27G vitrectomy system, none had focused on patients with high myopia. The highly myopic patients usually had thinner sclera, which was a risk factor for wound leakage after sutureless vitrectomy, they also had longer axial length which would make the surgical procedure more difficult especially in macular surgery. Based on previous clinical finding, gas leakage was 36.4% in 25G , while 27G sclerotomy showing less leakage comparing to larger gauge sclerotomy, the investigators believe 27G may have its clinical advantages in overcoming the thinner sclera of high myopia, and show the superiority of leakage control. Hypothesis: The 27G vitrectomy system has lower sclerotomy wound leakage rate compared with 25G system
This study will evaluate the ability of toric multifocal contact lens to reduce the change of myopia progression in children (aged 8-12) with myopic astigmatism.
