Outcomes of Cataract & Refractive Procedures

The primary objective of the database is to retrospectively analyse the visual and refractive outcomes of cataract and refractive procedures in order to continuously assess outcomes and also compare outcomes between the different IOLs, or the different refractive procedures.

Clinical Application Research of 5-Degree (0.05 D) Precision Optometry in Corneal Refractive Surgery

In recent years, the incidence of myopia has been high globally and is exhibiting a rapid upward trend, with projections estimating it will reach 49.8% by 2050. Corneal refractive surgery has become a primary method for correcting myopia, demonstrating significant efficacy and favorable safety. However, studies indicate that overcorrection or undercorrection can occur following refractive surgery. Reports have shown that three months post-SMILE surgery, 20% of eyes had residual refractive errors ≥ 0.50 D, and 6% had errors ≥ 1.00 D. We hypothesize that this may be related to imprecise preoperative refraction, subsequently affecting postoperative visual quality. Due to limitations in lens manufacturing precision, the widely used increment for sphere correction remains 0.25 D. However, this may prevent some patients from achieving their optimal corrected state. Studies have reported that 95% of individuals are sensitive to diopter changes below 0.25 D, and 44% can distinguish changes smaller than 0.125 D. Other research suggests that adjusting spherical power in 0.05 D increments yields better corrected visual acuity. Furthermore, scholars have reported that 0.05 D precision refraction can significantly improve the red-green balance test rate, enabling myopic patients to achieve better visual quality. Therefore, improving refraction precision could provide patients with superior visual outcomes. Currently, the Binocular Wavefront Optometry Machine (BWFOM, Ai-Zhitong Medical Technology Co., Ltd., Zhejiang, China) can perform objective and subjective refraction with 0.05 D increments for both sphere and cylinder correction, while also separately measuring higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and lower-order aberrations (LOAs). Given the scarcity of research on the outcomes of 0.05 D refraction for SMILE and FS-LASIK procedures, this study aims to evaluate visual acuity, aberrations, and refractive status in patients following SMILE and FS-LASIK surgery. The primary objective is to investigate whether preoperative 0.05 D precision refraction using the BWFOM can enhance postoperative visual quality for SMILE and FS-LASIK patients.

CONTOURA vs WFO Ablation PRK & LASIK

This is a prospective randomized contralateral double-masked study. Each patient will be randomized as to which eye undergoes wave-front optimized (WFO) vs. wave-front guided (WFG) during Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or Laser-assisted in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery to determine which ablation profile provides the best visual outcome.

Clinical Study of SMILE 4.0-VISULYZE in Correcting Refractive Errors

The aim of this study is to further optimize the surgical input parameters for patients undergoing Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) using the regression model established by the SMILE 4.0-VISULYZE system, thereby achieving satisfactory postoperative refractive outcomes. In this study, patients scheduled for SMILE surgery at the investigators' hospital will be divided into two groups: a conventional group, where the input parameters are adjusted based on historical experience according to the patient's refractive error, and a 4.0-VISULYZE group, where the input parameters are optimized using the SMILE 4.0-VISULYZE system. The investigators will compare the postoperative outcomes between the two groups, including uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical power, cylindrical power, spherical equivalent (SE), and the proportions of patients achieving postoperative visual acuity ≥0.8, ≥1.0, and ≥1.2 at 1 day, 10 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year post-surgery. Additionally, the investigators will evaluate the proportions of patients with postoperative SE within ±0.50D and ±1.0D, as well as postoperative cylindrical power within ±0.50D and ±1.0D, to assess the efficacy and safety of the SMILE 4.0-VISULYZE system in treating refractive errors.

Analysis of Ocular Surface Microbiota in Dry Eye Patients After Femtosecond Laser-assisted In-situ Keratomileusis (FS-LASIK)

By using 16S rRNA sequencing technology to analyze the changes in ocular surface microbiota before and after surgery, as well as the impact of changes in ocular surface microbiota on FS-LASIK induced DES, new treatment ideas are provided for corneal FS-LASIK induced DES patients, and the incidence of FS-LASIK related DES is reduced.
