Background: Vitiligo is a common, acquired, pigmentary disorder characterized by the loss of melanocytes. In this study, we evaluated the ophthalmalogic abnomalies of patients with vitiligo with regard to tear functions.
Methods: The patients and control subjects underwent examinations via the Schirmer's test, tear film break-up time (BUT), and Rose Bengal staining.
Background: To investigate the biochemical changes on the oxidant/antioxidant balance in corneal and lens tissues in rabbits, and to determine the relative corneal endothelial toxicities following the injection of intracameral anaesthetic agents: levobupivacaine 0.5% or lidocaine 2%.
Methods: The experiment was conducted using New Zealand rabbits.
Purpose: To determine the outcomes of a modified amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) suturing technique for pain and discomfort relief in patients with symptomatic bullous keratopathy (BK).
Design: Randomized, double-blind controlled clinical trial.
Methods: setting: Ankara Research and Training Hospital 1st and 2nd Eye Clinics, Ankara, Turkey.
Purpose: To describe amniotic membrane transplantation indications and results at the authors' institution.
Methods: In this study, chart review of 108 patients who underwent amniotic membrane transplantation between January 2002 and April 2006 was performed. The survival rate of corneal integrity was compared, using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, as a measure of success rate.
Aims: To evaluate preoperative and postoperative conjunctival surface changes in multinodular goiter (MNG) patients and to compare their results with healthy control subjects.
Methods: Twenty MNG patients who had undergone near total thyroidectomy were evaluated pre- and postoperatively at the end of the 3rd month and the 1st year by performing tear function tests and conjunctival impression cytologic analysis. These results were compared with the results of 15 healthy volunteers.
