简介:沙眼是由沙眼衣原体感染所致的一种传染性角结膜炎,目前在世界57个国家流行。1998年世界卫生组织(WorldHealthOrganization,WHO)将2020年全球消灭致盲性沙眼(globalalliancetoeliminateblindingtrachomaby2020,GET 2020)列为其防盲工作的主要目标之一。世界卫生组织制定了辨认和命名沙眼的简化分级系统及以社区干预为基础的防治沙眼的SAFE策略,此后10余年各国对此策略进行了不断推广、执行,目前世界上沙眼的流行趋势较之此前有了一定的变化,我国也启动了“计划2016年前在中国根治致盲性沙眼”的防盲工作。本文就SAFE策略推广以来沙眼诊断、治疗及流行趋势等方面的进展做一综述。

简介:泪道阻塞是眼科的常见病,有先天性和后天性两大类,易发展为急,慢性泪囊炎,以手术治疗为主,目的是重建或恢复泪液的引流通路,传统手术方面报道较多的是泪囊鼻腔吻合术(EXT-DCR)虽然成功率可达85%,但在颜面部残留永久性疤痕,影响美容,非手术方法主要有:探通,置线,置管等,但只是简单的解决问题,而且易致周围组织刺激,更容易形成粘连和疤痕使管腔再度阻塞。目前,虽然报道使用激光泪道成形术收到较好的效果,泪道能够冲洗通畅,但部分仍有溢泪症状。近年来,随着内窥镜技术不断成熟,既微创又美观的手术要求越来越高,因此,诸如鼻内窥镜下泪囊鼻腔吻合术(IECR)得以开展和创新。另外高分子材料及其它医疗器械的不断更新和完善,其治疗手段有了长足的进步。
