Purpose: To investigate the outcomes of unilateral Supracor treatment to enhance near vision while maintaining good distance vision in hyperopic eyes.
Methods: This prospective interventional study includes consecutive hyperopic patients with presbyopia. All eyes underwent femtosecond laser-assisted keratomileusis treatment for hyperopia with an additional Supracor multifocal treatment algorithm in nondominant eyes.
Purpose: To evaluate the corneal topography and aberrometry and their changes following ptosis surgery in patients suffering from unilateral congenital blepharoptosis.
Methods: The study included 15 eyes of 15 patients with unilateral congenital blepharoptosis who underwent surgical correction through anterior levator resection. Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor was employed to assess Zernike coefficients and root-mean-square.
Background: The aim is to investigate the change in aberrations following strabismus surgery in patients with horizontal strabismus.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included patients who underwent surgery for horizontal strabismus. The patients were assessed preoperatively and 1 month and 3 months after the surgery, in terms of logMAR best-corrected visual acuity, eye deviation, spherical equivalent refractive error, tomographic and aberrometric corneal changes.
Purpose: To investigate the visual, refractive, and biomechanical outcomes of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) with two different cap thicknesses.
Methods: Thirty-four patients were included in this prospective, randomized, contralateral eye study. Subjects were randomized to receive SMILE surgery with a 110-m cap thickness in one eye and 145-µm cap thickness in the fellow eye.
Purpose: To report a case of medial rectus plication for the management of dissociated horizontal deviation (DHD).
Methods: We introduce medial rectus plication for improving the control of exoshift of DHD.
Results: A 20-year-old woman with a chief complaint of left eye outward deviation since childhood was referred to the strabismus clinic.
Background: To evaluate the safety of different doses of subconjunctival cetuximab in rabbits.
Methods: After general anesthesia rabbits received a subconjunctival injection of 2.5 mg in 0.
Bupivacaine (BUP) is an anesthetic from the family of aminoacyl anesthetics and has the highest myotoxicity among other groups of anesthetics. Intramuscular injection of BUP first causes acute libriform lysis and subsequently with the regeneration process, stronger myofibrils are formed within 3-4 weeks. Satellite cells, which are actually myogenic stem cells, are preserved in the early stage and during the destruction of muscle fibers.

Methods: It is a retrospective observational study. Ninety-six normal eyes of 96 patients who were referred for refractive surgery in a tertiary university-based hospital from October 2015 to April 2019 were recruited consecutively.
Purpose: To report a patient with resistant cystoid macular edema after an uneventful phacoemulsification cataract surgery who responded to subconjunctival interferon α2b injections.
Observations: This report describes a 60-year-old male patient with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema that was unresponsive to multiple courses of topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids during the follow-up period. Weekly subconjunctival interferon α2b (5 MIU/ml) was administered four times.
Purpose: To assess the long-term visual and refractive stability and ocular biometric changes in low to moderate myopic subjects treated by laser-assisted subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK).
Methods: It is a prospective, interventional study. Included were 70 eyes of 35 patients who underwent LASEK for correction of ≤6 diopters (D) myopia.
Purpose: To investigate the frequency of persistent postoperative ptosis (PP) following trabeculectomy or Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation and to analyze the associated factors.
Methods: It is a prospective observational study on glaucoma patients who underwent trabeculectomy or AGV implantation from October 2015 to June 2017 in a tertiary center. Margin reflex distance 1 and 2 (MRD1 and 2) and levator function were measured before and at least 6 months, postoperatively.
Purpose: To compare the video observation of procedural skills (VOPS) method with the direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS) method in the assessment of senior residents' performance utilizing the International Council of Ophthalmology's Ophthalmology Surgical Competency Assessment Rubric for phacoemulsification (ICO-OSCAR; phaco).
Methods: This is a prospective comparative study conducted at a university-affiliated hospital. Six ophthalmology residents of postgraduate year 4 participated.
Background/aims: To evaluate the success of Mitomycin C (MMC) augmented trabeculectomy with or without intravitreal bevacizumab in patients with diabetes without neovascular glaucoma.
Methods: Fifty-six patients with diabetes who needed trabeculectomy were randomised to either combination of 2.5 mg intravitreal bevacizumab and subconjunctival MMC (group A, 28 eyes) or subconjunctival MMC alone (group B, 28 eyes).

Purpose: To analyze and compare corneal endothelial mosaic in terms of endothelial cell population, morphology and irregularity in patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) with clear corneas with normal age and sex matched subjects using specular microscopy.
Methods: Nine patients with XP without corneal involvement were evaluated in the study. An age and sex matched group of nine healthy subjects participated as control group.
Objective: To compare the characteristics and outcomes of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) in diabetic versus non-diabetic patients.
Method: It is a retrospective comparative case series on consecutive patients with biopsy-proven ROCM. Systemic and ophthalmic manifestations, imaging, management and final outcomes were compared between diabetic versus non-diabetic ROCMs referred the eye clinic of a university-based hospital (2008-2016).
Purpose: To investigate the frequency of transient (1 month) and persistent (at least 6 months) postoperative ptosis following clear corneal sutureless phacoemulsification and to analyze the factors affecting them.
Design: Cohort study.
Methods: Patients who underwent phacoemulsification cataract surgery from October 2016 to June 2018 in a tertiary center were enrolled.
Corneal keratopigmentation (KTP) has a long history of use in management of patients suffering from disfiguring corneal opacities. Due to progresses and modifications in KTP surgical techniques and its low rate of complications, it is taken into consideration to be used in selected groups of patients for therapeutic or functional indications. In this paper we present an overview on clinical applications of KTP in both cosmetic and functional aspects and also, we discuss the outcomes of KTP and its characteristics in experimental and histopathological studies.

Methods: In this prospective interventional case series, patients with chronic CSC were treated with spironolactone (25 mg daily) for at least 6 weeks. If the subretinal fluid (SRF) had not completely resolved by this time, treatment was continued, and the dosage was increased to 25 mg twice daily.
Purpose: To compare the results of tear film and lacrimal drainage system tests between anophthalmic socket and normal eye and assess discharge characteristics and frequency of prosthesis removal (questionnaire), eyelid function, and meibomian glad dysfunction (MGD).
Design: Prospective masked case control.
Methods: Subjects (≥6 years and ≥6 months of wearing prosthesis) with unilateral acquired anophthalmic socket discharge were included.
