The aim of this study was to evaluate the refractive regression-related factors before and after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia and give a reasonable way to prevent it. The consecutive patients who underwent LASIK from January to June 2004 were reviewed retrospectively. Thirteen eyes from 8 patients with myopic regression and 60 eyes from 42 patients with no myopic regression within 12 months of follow-up were enrolled. We compared the pre- and postoperative data which were associated with regression in the two groups. The mean preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was significantly higher in the regression group than in the non-regression group (p = 0.03). During the period of 12 months, the two groups differed in corneal bowing. In the regression group, both posterior and anterior corneal surfaces were significantly bowing (all p < 0.05). In contrast, in the non-regression group, both posterior and anterior surfaces were relatively stable (all p > 0.05). The higher preoperative IOP and the progressive postoperative biomechanical bowing in the posterior and anterior surfaces of the cornea are two factors related to myopic regression in this study. Lowering the IOP preoperatively and postoperatively may be an effective way to prevent the myopic regression after LASIK.

The aim of the present study was to detect senile nuclear cataract lens density and provide a quantitative measurement of lens density for the long-term clinical observation of cataracts. An Anterior Segment Analysis System was used to detect the lens density of 422 simple senile cataract eyes and normal contralateral eyes. The density values were taken at the optical axis at various depths measured from the anterior capsule. The differences in lens density at various photographic orientations and in various nuclear grading groups were investigated. The density at 90˚ orientation was larger than that at 30 and 150˚ (P<0.05). The density was reduced beyond the 1.0-mm depth point in all the lenses. Prior to the 2.5-mm depth point, there were differences among the five grade groups (P<0.05). Beyond the 3.0-mm depth point, values in all the grade groups were low and not significantly different (P>0.05). In the grade 4 group, the decrease was more evident. The average density values at all the depth points showed a tendency to increase with increasing nuclear grade. Measuring the density of the anterior half of the lens at 90˚ orientation is therefore more reliable compared with that of the posterior half and at other orientations. Results of the present study have shown that the Anterior Segment Analysis System may be used to detect senile nuclear cataract lens density and provide a quantitative measurement of lens density for long-term clinical observation of cataracts.

There are 2 main types of intraocular lens (IOL) currently implanted in patients after cataract surgery. Till now, we do not know exactly what the effect of intraocular lens implantation will be on the quality of sleep after cataract surgery.
