Comparison of Ganglion Cell and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Pigment Dispersion Syndrome, Pigmentary Glaucoma, and Healthy Subjects with Spectral-domain OCT.

Purpose: To evaluate the ganglion cell complex (GCC) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) and pigmentary glaucoma (PG) with RTVue spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Methods: A total of 102 subjects were enrolled: 29 with PDS, 18 with PG, and 55 normal subjects. Full ophthalmic examination including visual field analysis was performed.

Effectivity of intraoperative adjustable suture technique in horizontal strabismus.

Aim: To compare the long-term effectivity of intraoperative adjustable suture technique with traditional non-adjustable strabismus surgery.

Methods: Two hundred and thirty-three patients, who underwent strabismus surgery either with traditional procedures or one-stage intraoperative adjustable suture technique, were included in our long-term follow-up study. One hundred and eighteen patients were evaluated in traditional surgery group (TSG) and 115 who underwent adjustable suture were in the one-stage intraoperative adjustable surgery group (ASG).

Long-term effects of prostaglandin analogues on the anterior chamber depth of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of long-term application of bimatoprost and latanoprost on the anterior chamber depth of primary open-angle glaucoma patients.

Methods: The anterior chamber depth (ACD) and axial length (AL) of patients using prostaglandin analogues for open-angle glaucoma (group I) and an age- and gender-adjusted control group (group II) were measured by ultrasonography. Patients using bimatoprost and those using latanoprost were also compared in terms of ACD and AL.

Gout attack with unusual ocular complications.

Uveitis is reported in vanishingly small numbers in gout. This case with bilateral uveitis, increased intraocular pressure and blurred disc margins may unravel strange ocular complications of the disease and arise awareness of gout while prescribing diuretics and cyclosporine in patients with uveitis and increased intraocular pressure.

Primary viscocanalostomy versus trabeculectomy for primary open-angle glaucoma: three-year prospective randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of viscocanalostomy and trabeculectomy in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Ankara Education and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.

Methods: In this prospective randomized trial, 50 eyes of 50 patients with medically uncontrolled POAG were randomized to have a trabeculectomy (25 eyes) or a viscocanalostomy (25 eyes).

Evaluation of findings in Crouzon's syndrome.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ocular, facial and radiological signs of Crouzon's syndrome in a group of older patients who had not undergone previous craniofacial surgery. METHODS.
