简介:目的:在高度轴性近视眼与正常眼轴眼之间作对比分析,观察眼轴长度与白内障超声乳化加人工晶状体(intraocularlens,IOL)植入手术风险的相关性。方法:回顾性分析2012-02/2013-02在我院行白内障超声乳化加IOL植入术的连续病例843例1042眼。正常眼轴组(21~24mm)853眼,高度轴性近视组(≥26mm)189眼。对比分析两组的眼内并发症,包括玻璃体脱失,后囊膜破裂,晶状体核掉入玻璃体腔和IOL位置异常。结果:年龄在两个组中都是眼内并发症的风险因素,年龄的增长与眼内并发症的发生呈正相关,眼轴长度与眼内并发症的发生呈正相关,尤其对于后囊膜破裂和玻璃体脱失两个并发症。结论:此项研究结果提示,年龄和眼轴长度是白内障超声乳化手术并发症发生的两个风险因素,了解这些风险并提前做好准备可能会降低并发症的发生。
简介:目的分析应用小切口非超声乳化手术治疗高度近视白内障患者的术后最佳矫正视力与患眼眼轴长度的相关。方法以本院眼科2011年1月-2015年1月期间收治经筛选后的116眼高度近视白内障为研究对象,按照眼轴长度分为2个对照组,统计各组术后最佳矫正视力,取其平均值作为对比。结果眼轴长度≥26mm、〈29mm组50例(79眼),术后3个月平均最佳矫正视力0.58±0.07;眼轴长度≥29mm组32例(37眼),术后3个月平均最佳矫正视力0.15±0.06。比较两组术后3个月平均最佳矫正视力,通过统计处理,t=4.05,P〈0.05,两组之间有非常显著差别。说明高度近视白内障眼白内障摘除术后最佳矫正视力随眼轴长度增长而相应下降。结论高度近视白内障眼术后最佳矫正视力与其眼轴长度成负相关性。
简介:目的:探讨中老年人膳食碳水化合物及脂肪摄入量与年龄相关白内障(age-relatedcataract,ARC)危险性之间的关系。方法:采用以医院为基础的病例对照研究方法。病例由45~85岁的360例白内障患者组成,对照由同期入住相同医院的360例非白内障的患者组成,采取1∶1匹配。采用自行设计的调查表对研究对象进行调查,内容包括人口学特征、生活方式、以及既往史等,同时还采用一份有效的半定量化食物频率调查表(FFQ),获取研究对象膳食营养素的摄入情况。应用多因素Logistic回归分析估计碳水化合物及脂肪摄入量与ARC关联的比值比(OR)及其相应的95%可信区间(CI)。结果:调整多种潜在性混杂因素后,碳水化合物摄入量增加可使发生ARC的危险性升高,与摄入量为最低四分位数的对照相比较,摄入量为最高四分位数的病例发生ARC的OR为2.161(95%CI:1.107~5.016,P〈0.001)。同样,多不饱和脂肪酸摄入量也与ARC呈正相关,摄入量为最高四分位数的病例发生ARC危险性是最低四分位数对照的3倍(OR=2.989,95%CI:1.764~5.062,P〈0.001)。总脂肪摄入量与ARC无关(P=0.778)。结论:膳食碳水化合物及多不饱和脂肪酸摄入量增加可使发生ARC的危险性升高,合理营养、平衡膳食可能有助于预防ARC。
