To study the effect of wearing overnight orthokeratology ( OK) contact lens on corneal topography and tears in adolescents.METHODS: The diopter, corneal curvature, corneal surface regularity index ( SRl ) , tear break - up time ( BUT ) , Schirmer l test, and corneal fluorescent ( FL ) were recordedon 40 (80 eyes) adolescent myopia patients (mean age 13. 68±2. 32 years), who had worn OK contact lensfor more than 1 year, with mean spherical equivalent refraction -3. 61 ± 1. 48D before wearing OK contact lens. These indexes were tested and recorded before the patients' wearing OK contact lens and 5 times (1wk and 1, 3, 6, 12mo after the first wearing) during the patients' overnight wearing OK contact lens for 8~10 hours per day.RESULTS: Compared with pre - wearing, at post -wearing OK contact lens 12mo, the mean spherical equivalent refraction was apparently decreased from -3.61±1. 48D to -1. 39±1. 31D(P<0. 01). The corneal curvature was significantly flattened from 42. 29 ± 1. 55D to 40.13±1. 41D (P<0. 01). Mean SRl was increased from 0. 34± 0. 01 to 0. 37 ± 0. 01 ( P<0. 01 ). Mean BUT was decreased from 10. 39±2. 25s to 7. 26±1. 77s (P<0. 01). These indexes were stable at 1wk after wearing OK contact lens overnight and had no significant differences during the following (1, 3, 6, 12mo after wearing) tests (P > 0. 05 ). There were no significant differences on Schirmer▏test during the 12mo of OK wearing(P>0. 05). The cases of corneal fluorescent staining increased were mainly grade l, and the number of corneal staining grade l at 1 wk and 1, 3, 6, 12 mo after wearing were 15 eyes (18. 8%), 9 eyes (11. 3%),13 eyes (16. 3%), 9 eyes (11. 3%), and 12 eyes (15. 0%). BUT of corneal staining grade l wasdecreased significantly, compared with the BUT of corneal staining grade 0 during the 12mo of OK wearing (P<0. 05). CONCLUSlON: OK contact lens can significantly decrease the degree of myopia and K value of corneal curvature without changing tear volume. However, tear film stability weakens, which needs regular follow-up.

AIM: To explore the predisposing factors, population characteristics and clinical features of severe fungal keratitis.
METHODS:The data of 233 cases 233 eyes of severe fungal keratitis in my hospital from January, 2008 to November, 2013 was retrospectively reviewed. The predisposing factors, population characteristics and clinical features were analyzed.
RESULTS: In 233 cases of severe fungal keratitis, the number of male patients was 153 ( 65. 7%) and the number ratio of male to female was 1. 9:1. The average age of them was (52. 7±11. 3), and most of them were middle-aged and elderly people living in the rural area (78. 1%) and were farmers ( 66. 1%) with low literacy (59. 7%). In 233 cases, 188 cases (80. 7%) possessed a clear history of ocular trauma, mainly caused by plant-based trauma (60. 9%). 90 cases (57. 3%) were infected with Fusarium, and 47 cases ( 29. 9%) by Aspergillus. The main treatment of severe fungal keratitis was surgery (87. 9%). 83 cases ( 52. 9%) were treated with penetrating keratoplasty, and in Fusarium and Aspergillus infected patients with severe fungal keratitis, 58. 4% ( 80/137 ) were performed with penetrating keratoplasty. In addition, patients treated with eye enucleation or evisceration, 68. 4% (13/19) were infected with Fusarium species.
CONCLUSION: Patients with severe fungalkeratitis in our hospital are mainly elderly male farmers living in rural, because of low economic condition and poor diagnosis consciousness. The main pathogens are Fusarium and Aspergillus species, and the major treatment is penetrating keratoplasty. Most of patients with poor clinical outcomes are infected with Fusarium species.

AIM: To investigate the characteristics and surgical management of retinal detachment (RD) after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in myopia.METHODS: Documents of patients with RD observed in 18342 eyes (9 598 patients) who underwent LASIK were retrospectively reviewed. None of the patients had history of corneal or other diseases before LASIK and preoperative fundus examination was performed. Patients were followed for a mean of 20 months and the clinical features of the eyes which developed RD after LASIK were investigated.RESULTS: Six patients including 2 males and 4 females developed RD, and the incidence of RD after LASIK was 0.33‰. Mean pre-LASIK myopia in these 6 eyes was 9.33D.None of these eyes had prophylactic treatment history of any retinal lesions. Mean time interval between LASIK and RD development was 9.2 months. All RDs happened spontaneously and were managed with vitrectomy and other techniques.Retinal reattachment was achieved at the first retinal detachment surgery in all 6 eyes (100%) at mean follow-up of 9.3months.CONCLUSION: RD after LASIK is not common. The study suggests no cause-effect relationship between RD and LASIK procedure in myopic eyes. However, clinicians should still be aware of retinal pathology in patients undergoing LASIK.
