Purpose: To compare the results of botulinum toxin A injection and bridge Faden operation performed with bimedial rectus recession in the treatment of large-angle esotropia.
Methods: The medical charts of patients with large-angle esotropia who underwent bimedial rectus recession combined with the Faden operation or botulinum toxin A injection between January 2018 and March 2022 were retrospectively screened. The degree of deviations measured before surgery and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery were compared between the two groups.

Purpose: To compare the surgical outcomes in patients who had a failed botulinum toxin A injection before surgery versus those who had surgery as primary treatment (primary surgery) for infantile esotropia.
Methods: The files of patients who had strabismus surgery in the Strabismus Unit of Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital between January 2012 and March 2022 were reviewed. This study included 104 eyes of 52 patients with infantile esotropia.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of refractive errors on the results of patients followed up with infantile esotropia (IE) and treated with botulinum neurotoxin (BNT) injection.
Methods: The files of patients with IE who presented to the ophthalmology pediatric ophthalmology unit and underwent BNT injection into both medial rectus muscles between 2019 and 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Sixty eyes of 30 patients were included in the study.
Purpose: To evaluate the signs and symptoms of dry eye in healthy pregnant women and investigate the effect of pregnancy on meibomian gland loss using non-contact meibography.
Methods: Healthy pregnant women and age-matched healthy non-pregnant women were included in the study. Subjective symptoms were assessed using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI).
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal dexamethasone implant in non-infectious uveitic macular edema.
Methods: Between April 2013 and February 2017, 27 eyes of 21 patients were included in the study at Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital. The files of patients who underwent intravitreal dexamethasone implantation for non-infectious uveitic macular edema and followed up at least 6 months were retrospectively reviewed.
