Background: YouTube has become a popular source of health information for patients. However, the quality and reliability of videos related to a chalazion, a common eyelid condition, have not yet been thoroughly evaluated.
Research Design And Methods: One hundred YouTube videos were evaluated using keywords such as "chalazion surgery" and "chalazion removal".
Purpose: Botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) injections have become increasingly popular for cosmetic treatments in the upper face region, particularly for reducing wrinkles and achieving aesthetic improvements. While the cosmetic benefits are well-documented, the potential effects of these injections on ocular surface health and tear film dynamics remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the impact of BoNT-A injections on tear film parameters and ocular surface health across different time intervals following treatment.

Methods: One-hundred twelve consecutive patients with VKC and 112 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals were included in this prospective study. Demographic characteristics were recorded, and complete ophthalmic examinations were performed for all participants.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare and correlate specular microscope indices and corneal topography indices in different stages of keratoconus.
Methods: Two hundred forty-six eyes of 123 participants were enrolled in the study. Corneal topography was performed using Sirius (CSO, Italy), with a rotating Scheimpflug camera and a Placido disc topographer.
