Age-related eye diseases are a set of ophthalmic diseases caused by aging and irreversible degeneration in the eye.Glaucoma,cataract,and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are some of the common age-related eye diseases.Inflammation and oxidative stress play important roles in the initiation and progression of these diseases.Resveratrol,a natural plant antitoxin,fights oxidative stress and inflammation by regulating multiple cellular transduction pathways;and it has become a focal point in anti-aging research and has seen significant research progress during recent years.At the present,investigation into the relationship between resveratrol and age-related eye diseases is still in its infancy.This paper focuses on elaborating new research progress on resveratrol's role in age-related eye diseases.

AIM:To observe the effect of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) combined with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs in the treatment of severe non proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR),and to investigate the influence of the treatment on the prognosis of NPDR patients.METHODS:Totally 120 patients (227 eyes) with NPDR diagnosed by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were randomly divided into observation group (60 cases,112 eyes) and control group (60 cases,115 eyes).Patients in the observation group were treated by PRP combined with anti-VEGF drugs,while patients the control group were treated with PRP alone.The clinical efficacy and complications of the two groups were compared.Before and after treatment,the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),central macular thickness (CMT),levels of serum VEGF and angiopoietin 2 (Ang-2) in the two groups were analyzed.RESULTS:The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05).Compared with before treatment,BCVA of the two groups in the time of 2wk,1,3 and 6mo after treatment improved significantly (P＜0.05).And the BCVA of the observation group at each time point after treatment was better than that of the control group (P＜0.05).Compared with before treatment,the CMT and the levels of VEGF and Ang-2 in the observation group decreased significantly starting at 2wk after treatment (P＜ 0.05).While those in the control group decreased significantly starting at 1mo after treatment (P＜ 0.05).The levels of VEGF and Ang-2 in the observation group at each time point after treatment was lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05).CMT of the observation group were significantly lower than that of the control group in the time of 1,3 and 6mo after treatment (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the total complication rate between the two groups (P＞0.05).CONCLUSION:PRP combined with anti-VEGF drugs could effectively improve vision of NPDR patients,alleviate macular edema,and improve the clinical efficacy.

AIM:To explore the effect of phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis for cataract patients with glaucoma.METHODS:From May 2013 to December 2014,120 eyes of 113 patients with cataract and glaucoma admitted to our department were selected,and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,88 eyes received phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis (Group A),32 eyes received phacoemulsification (Group B).All the patients were followed up at 1wk,1,2,and 6mo and 1a postoperatively.The visual acuity,intraocular pressure,visual field,anterior chamber depth and angle changes before and after the surgery were compared between the two groups.RESULTS:Vision:at each follow-up time point,their vision was improved significantly than before the surgery (P＜ 0.05) in both the groups,and Group A was significantly better than that in Group B (P＜ 0.05).Intraocular pressure:compared with preoperative data,it decreased significantly at each follow-up time point (P＜0.05),and Group A significantly decreased much more compared with Group B (P＜0.05).Visual field:compared with preoperative data,it increased significantly at each follow-up time point (P＜0.05),and Group A significantly had better effect than Group B (P＜ 0.05).After the surgery,the anterior chamber depth were evidently higher than those before the surgery (P＜ 0.001),and Group A significantly had higher anterior chamber depth than Group B (P＜0.05).The angle grading after the surgery were improved remarkably than before the operation (P＜ 0.05),and Group A was significantly superior to Group B.There were no serious complications in the two groups.CONCLUSION:Compared with simply phacoemulsification,phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis is safer,and has better effectiveness for cataract patients with glaucoma.In addition,the latter has advantages in increasing the depth of the anterior chamber,and improving the openness of angle,as well as improving the vision and visual field,while reducing the intraocular pressure.

AIM:To compare and analyze the diagnostic value of iris fluorescein angiography (IFA) combined with fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA),indocyanine green angiograph (ICGA),fundus fluorescein angiography in the diagnosis of early diabetic retinitis (DR).METHODS:Totally 70 patients (136 eyes) with early diabetic retinopathy enrolled in our hospital from August 2015 to August 2016 were selected in this study.All patients were respectively treated with ICGA,FFA and IFA+FFA,and the detection results of three kinds of imaging methods were analyzed.RESULTS:There were 120 pathological eyes (88.2％)were detected by FFA,124 pathological eyes (91.2％)were detected by ICGA,130 pathological eyes (95.6％)were detected by IFA+ FFA,and there was no significant difference in the detection rate between the three methods (P＞0.05).FFA detected 48 eyes with neovascularization,18 eyes with vitreous hemorrhage,38 eyes with macular edema,16 eyes without perfusion area;ICGA detected 49 eyes with neovascularization,38 eyes with macular edema,17 eyes with vitreous hemorrhage,20 eyes without perfusion area;IFA+ FFA detected 17 eyes with proliferative diabetic iridopathy (DI),22 eyes with non-proliferative DI,5 eyes with NVG,92 eyes without DI.CONCLUSION:In the diagnosis of early diabetic retinopathy,iris fluorescence angiography,fundus fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography all have good diagnostic value,but IFA+FFA can detect the diabetic retinopathy in time and provide the help for the timely treatment.

AIM:To assess the effect of press-on prisms in patients with acute-onset comitant esotropia and diplopia,focusing primarily on vision-related quality of life and binocular vision.METHODS:Retrospective case-series study.Totally 16 acute-onset comitant esotropia patients with diplopia who received treatment in the Huzhou Central Hospital were included in this study from March 2014 to March 2017.Vision-related quality of life before press-on prism correction and 1mo after press-on prism correction were performed with the Chinese version of the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire (CHI-NEI-VFQ-25).In each time of follow-up,we made a minute examination,includes worth four dot test and stereo tests.Data was statistically analyzed with paired sample t test,Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test.RESULTS:Except the degree of eye pain,color vision and perimetry,the indicators from CHI-NEI-VFQ-25 table including general health status,overall vision,mental health,social role difficulties,social functional,near activities,distant activities,independency and driving of acute-onset comitant esotropia patients with diplopia were obviously significant improved 1 mo after press-on prism correction (P＜0.05).One month after press-on prism correction,the fusion function and stereo acuity were significant enhanced (P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:Press-on prism correction may be helpful for binocular vision recovery in acute-onset comitant esotropia patients with diplopia,so as improve the vision-related quality of life.

AIM:To evaluate the therapeutic effects of the fine sight training with the smartphones and pads on hyperopia amblyopia of children.METHODS:One hundred and twenty children (120 eyes) with hyperopia amblyopia were randomly divided into two groups in this prospective study.All the children in these two groups received the basic treatments of spectacle correction,penalization therapy and amblyopia trainings.The treatments of red-light blinking and grating as well as traditional fine sight training were used for the children in the control group.However,the smartphones and pads were applied instead of the traditional performances for the fine sight training in the experimental group.Best corrected visual acuity of every child was tested for every 3mo,to observe the time for the visual improvement and efficacy.RESULTS:In comparison with the control group,significant shorter time (80.54 ± 30.87d,P＜ 0.05) for promoted one line of LogMAR visual acuity and average treatment time (15.34±7.24mo,P＜0.05) were harvested in the experimental group.The efficacy in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (Z=-2.37,P=0.02).CONCLUSION:The fine sight training with the smartphones and pads can improve vison faster than traditional methods and decrease the time of therapy in children with hyperopia amblyopia,thus providing a new strategy for the treatment of hyperopia amblyopia.

AIM:To perform a clinical analysis of 1 500 cases of outpatients with ametropia in Hebeisheng Eye Hospital,to provide a theoretical basis for diagnosis,treatment,and prevention of patients with ametropia.METHODS:Totally 1500 cases (2840 eyes) of outpatient with ametropia were chosen as the research objects in Hebeisheng Eye Hospital from June 2013 to July 2014.All cases were treated with TOPCON RM-8800 computer optometry instrument for objective optometry,and used TOPCON phoropter for subjective optometry.The combination of the two instruments was taken to determine the diopter later.Diopter and axial distribution of the myopic astigmatism and hyperopic astigmatism were observed,age of astigmatic patient,distribution of astigmatism axis were observed as well.Meanwhile,a total of 150 cases were chosen randomly to measure their corneal curvature,anterior chamber depth,axial length and other static refractive index.All indexes were compared with those of the normal people subsequently,such as amplitude of accommodation,negative relative accommodation,positive relative accommodation,sensitivity of accommodation and other dynamic refractive index.RESULTS:Ametropia types of all patients were mainly simple myopia,simple myopia astigmatism,compound myopic astigmatism,simple hypermetropia,simple hyperopia astigmatism,compound hyperopic astigmatism and mixed astigmatism,the proportion were 38.99％,3.27％,23.94％,4.68％,1.34％,13.52％,15.25％ respectively.There were 773 eyes with myopia astigmatism.The proportion of people with a myopia astigmatism diopter of above-0.25 to-0.50,-0.75 to -1.00,-1.25 to-1.50,above-1.75 were 31.05％,38.55％,16.56％,13.84％.There were 421 eyes with hyperopia astigmatism,the proportion of people with hyperopia astigmatism diopter of 0.25-0.50,0.75-1.00,1.25-1.50,＞1.75 were 26.60％,24.94％,16.63％,31.83％.Static refractive index of 150 patients (300 eyes) showed that corneal curvature was (41.23 ± 2.43) φ/D,anterior chamber depth was 3.71 ± 0.43mm,axial length 23.45 ± 1.43mm.Dynamic refractive index showed that the amplitude of accommodation 10.56±2.32D,negative relative accommodation 2.31 ±0.47D,positive relative accommodation-1.82-± 0.67D,sensitivity of accommodation 11.34±2.21D.All kinds of static and dynamic refractive indexes,the length of ocular axis were statistically different from those of the normal population (P ＜ 0.05).Regular astigmatism number rate in 1 194 cases of astigmatism eyes of 3-7 years old,8-18 years old,19-45 years old,46-60 years old were 35.85％,11.98％,45.64％,6.53％.Among 150 cases of patients (300 eyes),there were 152 eyes of equivalent sphere mirror ＜-0.5D,48 eyes of equivalent sphere mirror ≥ 0.5D,100 eyes of equivalent sphere mirror between-0.5D to 0.5D.And there were 150 eyes of equivalent sphere mirror ＜-0.5D,50 eyes of equivalent sphere mirror ≥0.5D,100 eyes of equivalent sphere mirror between-0.5D to 0.5D in a total of 300 eyes of 150 normal people.CONCLUSION:The 1500 cases of patients with ametropia (2 840 eyes) contains mainly simple myopia and compound myopic astigmatism,diopter range in myopia astigmatism were chiefly-0.25 to-0.50,-0.75 to-1.00,hyperopia diopter range consists of ＞ 1.75 mostly,among the patients with astigmatism,the older the age,the bigger the number of people with irregular astigmatism,static and dynamic refractive index of patients with ametropic eye shows apparent difference with that of the normal population.

AIM:To evaluate the potential posterior segment effects of topical application of brimonidine-purite 0.15％ through measurement of choroidal thickness (CT) in healthy eyes using enhanced depth imaging spectraldomain optical coherence tomography (EDI-SD-OCT).METHODS:Thirty-two eyes of 32 healthy subjects were included in this prospective,placebo controlled interventional clinical trial.They received one drop of topical preservative-free artificial tears as placebo for the first day and one drop of brimonidine-purite 0.15％ for the second day.Intraocular pressure,ocular perfusion pressure (OPP),and EDI-SD-OCT were performed at baseline,at 1,3 and 5h after the treatments.RESULTS:Compared to the measurements obtained at baseline,the CT measurements obtained after the topical application of brimonidine-purite 0.15％ significantly increased at the sub-fovea (P=0.001),at temporal 1500 μm to the fovea (P=0.003) and at nasal 1500 μm to the fovea (P=0.003).Choroidal thickness was unchanged in placebo group during the study (P ＞0.05).There was no significant reduction in the OPP in both groups (P ＞0.05).There were no adverse events during the study.CONCLUSIONS:Contrary to expectations,topical administration of brimonidine-purite 0.15％ resulted with thickening of sub-foveal,temporal and nasal CT.This might be related to altered auto-regulation mechanisms in choroidal vessels.

AIM:To assess the anterior corneal astigmatism (ACA)and posterior corneal astigmatism (PCA) patterns across various age groups.We also evaluated the association between magnitudes and axes of the ACA and PCA across these age groups.METHODS:The present study was a cross-sectional analysis of clinical data of 381 eyes.We converted the clinical astigmatic notation to vector notation for analysis of ACA and PCA.We estimated the correlation between magnitude and axes of the ACA and PCA in the whole population and in four age groups (5-19,20-39,40-59,and ≥ 60y).We used random effects linear regression models for estimating the association between the magnitudes of ACA and PCA.RESULTS:The mean of the magnitude of the ACA (3.59D) and the PCA (0.50D) was highest in children (5 to 9y).Overall,the magnitude of the ACA ranged from 0D to 10.0 Diopters (D) and the magnitude of the PCA ranged from 0 to 3.5 D.There was a significant correlation between the ACA and the PCA in the younger age group (r=0.85,P＜0.001).In those 60y or older,the PCA increased by 0.04 units (95％ confidence intervals:0.005,0.07;P=0.03) with each unit increase in the ACA,the increase was the smallest in this age group.CONCLUSION:It will be prudent to measure the both the magnitude and axis of the PCA,particularly in those above 60y rather than rely on rule-of-thumb calculations based on ACA parameters for IOL power calculation.

AIM:To investigate the efficacy and visual sensitivity of occlusion therapy combined training for children with ametropic amblyopia.METHODS:Totally 85 children (85 eyes) with anisometropic amblyopia treated in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2015 were selected.All patients were given occlusion therapy combined training.Statistical analysis of clinical efficacy and visual sensitivity changes were taken,and the changes of visual acuity,AULCSF,S Frmax were analyzed.RESULTS:The visual acuity after therapy was significantly better than that before treatment (1.12±0.29 vs0.45±0.25,P＜0.01);AULCSF,Smax and Frmax all increased,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜ 0.05).The sensitivity of the same spatial frequency was significantly higher than that before treatment,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05),and the contrast sensitivity decreased gradually with the increase of spatial frequency.There were statistical differences in the total effective rate of different refractive degrees after treatment (P=0.001).Mild group and moderate group had no significant difference on the total clinical efficiency difference (x2=3.091,P=0.079);between mild group and severe group total effective rate was significantly different (x2 =11.471,P =0.001);the moderate and severe groups total clinical efficiency were no significantly different (x2 =3.359,P=0.067).In addition,the total efficiency rate of wearing glasses under the age of 6 was significantly higher than that after 6 years old (95％ vs 77％),statistical difference between the two groups was significant (P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:Masking therapy combined with comprehensive training,in the treatment of children with ametropic amblyopia,and wearing a corrective spectacles,is desirable,especially for children under 7 years of age.
