简介：目的：观察MoriaM2型90与110μm角膜刀制作角膜瓣在准分子激光角膜原位磨镶术（laserinsitukeratomileusis,LASIK）的疗效和并发症,探讨MoriaM2型90刀头在LASIK中应用的有效性、安全性和优点。方法：选取通过术前检查并自愿行LASIK手术的患者105例202眼,按随机数字表分成两组,使用MoriaM2型90刀头LASIK患者51例98眼,110刀头LASIK患者54例104眼做对照,术后即使用光学相干断层扫描仪（OCT）检测两组角膜瓣厚度,观察两组术后1d;1wk;1,3mo裸眼视力、矫正视力和角膜瓣形态、对合情况、并发症。结果：90刀头组术后角膜瓣厚度为118.3±15.2μm,110刀头组术后角膜瓣厚度为130.5±17.1μm,有显著性差异。90刀头组均未发现层间点状金属碎屑,110刀头组有层间点状金属碎屑个例（12例）,有显著性差异。两组角膜瓣形态、对合情况、术后反应、术后裸眼视力相当。结论：应用90刀头LASIK的疗效及并发症和110刀头LASIK相当,但90刀头保留角膜基质床相对较厚,可矫治的屈光度更大,术后层间点状金属碎屑并发症更少,具有更好的安全性和更宽的适应范围。

简介：目的观察泪道探通后氟尿嘧啶应用联合鼻泪管中逆行植入球头硅胶管术治疗慢性泪囊炎的临床疗效。方法从门诊就诊的泪道阻塞患者中,选取泪点泪小管均通畅的慢性泪囊炎患者42例（56只眼）,随机分为实验组与对照组,治疗组采用先泪道探通扩张,并将氟尿嘧啶溶液浸入阻塞创面,后经鼻腔逆行植入球头硅胶管术治疗,对手术疗效进行分析。对照组则不采用氟尿嘧啶干预措施,其余治疗与对照组相同。两组患者均于术后3个月拔管。结果拔管后随访3～12个月,治疗组21例（29只眼）中有效25只眼,泪道冲洗通畅无分泌物,2只眼冲洗欠通畅无分泌物,2眼泪道冲洗仍阻塞,治愈率86.2%。对照组21例（27只眼）中有效17只眼,泪道冲洗通畅无分泌物,4只眼冲洗欠通畅无分泌物,6眼泪道冲洗仍阻2塞,治愈率63.0%。经χ检验治疗组治愈率高于对照组（P〈0.05）。结论泪道探通联合球头硅胶管逆行植入术治疗慢性泪囊炎具有操作简便、不切皮肤、不损伤组织结构等优点,临床疗效肯定。氟尿嘧啶对于预防泪道阻塞部位创面再次粘连,提高远期疗效有确切作用。
