Evaluation of Long-term Posterior Segment Parameters in Children Who Had Recovered From Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome.

Background And Objective: To evaluate long-term posterior segment findings in children recovering from multisystemic inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

Patients And Methods: Our study included 22 patients who were admitted to an intensive care unit with a diagnosis of MIS-C between November 2021 and March 2022, and 25 healthy controls. The study included pediatric patients who had an eye examination an average of 12.

Clinical features, management, and outcomes of patients with sterile endophthalmitis associated with intravitreal bevacizumab injection: retrospective case series.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical features, treatment protocol, outcomes, and complications that developed in this case series of 24 patients who had consecutive sterile endophthalmitis after intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection.

Methods: In this retrospective case series, IVB was repackaged in individual aliquots from the three batches that were used on the same day. IVB was injected into 26 eyes of 26 patients due to diabetic macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, and branch retinal vein occlusion.

Efficacy of custom-made soft keratoconus lenses on corneal aberrations and photic phenomena in patients with keratoconus: a corneal topography imaging based study.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of custom-made soft keratoconus (KC) lenses on corneal aberrations and photic phenomena in two different optical zones in patients with KC.

Methods: Sixty eyes of 42 patients with KC were examined at baseline and after fitting HydroCone (Toris K) soft silicone hydrogel lenses. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) and contact lens-corrected visual acuity (CLCVA) were recorded.

The impact of delayed anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment for retinal diseases during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Purpose: To assess the clinical status of treatment-naive patients who had to delay 3-dose loading anti-VEGF (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor) injections during the COVID-19 lockdown, and to evaluate the effect of the delayed visual acuity treatment on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) parameters.

Method: A total of 55 eyes of 46 patients who were received in the study period participated in this retrospective study, including 28 patients (37 eyes) with diabetic macular edema (DME), 11 patients (11 eyes) with retinal vein occlusion (RVO), and 7 patients (7 eyes) with wet age-related macular degeneration (wet-AMD). The patients were diagnosed with DME, RVO, or wet-AMD in February 2020 and had planned 3-dose loading injections in March, April, and May 2020, but could not be injected due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Comparison of subfoveal choroidal thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in patients with coronary slow flow phenomenon and microvascular angina: Optical coherence tomography based study.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (pRNFLT) in patients with microvascular angina (MA), coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) and healthy controls.

Methods: Thirty-two consecutive patients with MA, 35 consecutive patients with CSFP and 40 age and sex-matched controls were enrolled. SFCT, average pRNFLT and four quadrants of pRNFLT were measured by spectral domain- optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
