中新网湖北新闻5月30日电 (彭锦云 冯敏惠子)明明是治疗皮肤病，却把眼睛"整"出了问题！近日，武汉 市民小张左眼视力越来越差，总感觉眼前有一团雾，前往武汉爱尔眼科汉阳医院检查后被诊断为白内 障，而罪魁祸首居然是他使用了一年多的激素类药物所致。 在详细问诊中，孙医生终于"揪"出了导致小张白内障的"元凶"。原来，一年前小张患上了神经性皮炎， 在皮肤科医生指导下，一直使用激素和生物制剂药物治疗，用药长达一年，而这正是让小张年纪轻轻患 上白内障的原因。 孙代红解释，激素性白内障是常见的白内障类型之一，主要是由于长期口服或者局部点用激素药物如糖 皮质激素而导致的副作用之一。激素性白内障的发病机制目前尚不完全明确，包括糖皮质激素受体介 导、细胞黏附作用异常等。此外，激素性白内障通常在药物治疗较长一段时间后出现，极少数呈急性病 程，停药后白内障症状大多不可完全缓解，而且很多患者由于自身疾病的原因很难停用激素，所以白内 障会持续加重，除了白内障外，长期使用激素还有发生青光眼的可能。 结合小张的眼部情况、用眼需求，孙代红医生为其制定了飞秒激光辅助联合三焦点人工晶状体植入手术 方案，术后第一天，小张视力已经恢复至1.0。 医生 ...

6月6日是第30个全国"爱眼日"。随着青少年眼健康问题日益受到关注，白内障等眼科疾病的防治也 成为公众关注的话题。青少年白内障的病因复杂、早期症状隐蔽，如何科学防治？其手术治疗是否需谨 慎？解放军总医院眼科医学部李朝辉主任分享了相关科普知识。 李朝辉主任指出，有白内障家族史的青少年需特别关注眼部健康。家族史主要分为两类：一是先天 性白内障家族史，常为常染色体显性遗传，可能增加早发性白内障风险；二是青少年白内障家族史，需 警惕遗传性或环境因素叠加导致的晶状体混浊。对于此类人群，建议每1-3年进行一次眼科检查，核心 项目包括视力检查和裂隙灯检查，其他项目则根据个体情况补充。李主任强调，若出现视力进行性下 降、眩光、复视或屈光度数异常变化，应及时就医排查早发性白内障。 青少年白内障的病因复杂，涵盖先天与后天因素。先天因素主要包括基因突变和孕期病毒感染，如 孕早期风疹病毒、水痘疱疹等感染可能引发先天性白内障。后天因素则包括外伤、全身疾病（如糖尿 病）、眼部炎症（如葡萄膜炎）及药物、营养不良等。李主任特别指出，青少年白内障的核心问题是视 功能损害，典型症状包括视物模糊、看东西有"云雾感"及视力下降。他提醒，许多患者误以 ...

近期以来，"A+H"热度正在持续攀升。 宁德时代、恒瑞医药等不同行业的A股龙头公司正奔赴港股上市，这引发了市场对于作为眼科龙头企业爱尔眼科是否会赴港上市的关注。 就在5月20日召开的股东大会上，爱尔眼科董事长陈邦对该问题予以了正面回应。 "赴港上市议题公司早已讨论过，此前也确实有大投行找到公司商议相关事项，但爱尔现阶段暂时还没有这个打算。"陈邦指出，上市的目的主要是筹集资 金，爱尔目前筹资能力强，现金流也不错，银行贷款充裕且低息，海外投资也很顺畅，所以暂时没有需要。 爱尔眼科确实有"不融资"的底气。 去年以来，受制于外部宏观环境复杂多变，基本医疗受医保影响，非基本医疗受经济影响的多重因素叠加，不少眼科医疗机构出现业绩下滑的困境，甚至出 现亏损。 虽然爱尔眼科的业绩不可避免受到影响，增速略有放缓，但仍以209.83亿元营收、35.56亿元净利润的业绩，真正诠释了由品牌影响及优质服务带来的强韧 性。 走过艰难的2024年，爱尔眼科的业绩正迎来回暖。 2025年一季度，爱尔眼科的收入、归母净利润分别为60.26亿元、10.5亿元，分别同比增长了15.97%、19.96%，扣除非经常性损益后的归母净利润同比增幅 高达 ...
