considering a MINI WELL®, make sure you choose patients with appropriate psychological and clinical profiles. Ideally, you’re looking for easy-going Generation X-ers, with relatively active lifestyles and realistic expectations for the surgical procedure. In addition, and critically, they should have healthy eyes – in particular a healthy tear film and no dry eye syndrome (which is one of the main contributing factors to IOL failure). イージーゴーイングなX世代の人たち(1960年代中盤から1970年代終盤に生まれた世代)で、活発なライフスタイル、現実的な期待度、眼疾患がない(特にドライアイがないこと)を対象者とするべきである。
CATANIA, Italy, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — SIFI, a leading international eye care company, today announces the launch of the WELL FUSION™ system and the Mini WELL PROXA® intraocular lens, offering a novel solution that provides cataract patients the option to treat presbyopia with spectacle-free uninterrupted high-quality vision at all distances and in all lighting conditions.
土曜セッションで”Cutting edge of myopia treatment”があり、その掉尾がオーストラリアメルボルン大学のMingguang He先生による”Repeated Low-level red-light therapy for myopia control in children”でした。 即ち、赤色光で近視治療であり、最後に持ってきたてことはこの治療が注目されてるということかしらん?
Participants: Two hundred sixty-four eligible children 8 to 13 years of age with myopia of cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction (SER) of -1.00 to -5.00 diopters (D), astigmatism of 2.50 D or less, anisometropia of 1.50 D or less, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.0 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution or more were enrolled in July and August 2019. Follow-up was completed in September 2020. Methods: Children were assigned randomly to the intervention group (RLRL treatment plus single-vision spectacle [SVS]) and the control group (SVS). The RLRL treatment was provided by a desktop light therapy device that emits red light of 650-nm wavelength at an illuminance level of approximately 1600 lux and a power of 0.29 mW for a 4-mm pupil (class I classification) and was administered at home under supervision of parents for 3 minutes per session, twice daily with a minimum interval of 4 hours, 5 days per week.

Results: Among 264 randomized participants, 246 children (93.2%) were included in the analysis (117 in the RLRL group and 129 in the SVS group). Adjusted 12-month axial elongation and SER progression were 0.13 mm (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.09-0.17mm) and -0.20 D (95% CI, -0.29 to -0.11D) for RLRL treatment and 0.38 mm (95% CI, 0.34-0.42 mm) and -0.79 D (95% CI, -0.88 to -0.69 D) for SVS treatment. The differences in axial elongation and SER progression were 0.26 mm (95% CI, 0.20-0.31 mm) and -0.59D (95% CI, -0.72 to -0.46 D) between the RLRL and SVS groups. No severe adverse events (sudden vision loss ≥2 lines or scotoma), functional visual loss indicated by BCVA, or structural damage seen on OCT scans were observed.
Conclusions: Repeated low-level red-light therapy is a promising alternative treatment for myopia control in children with good user acceptability and no documented functional or structural damage.
