Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) parameters in patients with moderate myopia and healthy individuals retrospectively.
Methods: A total of 80 male individuals aged 18-20 years were included in the study with 40 moderate myopic and 40 healthy persons. All participants underwent detailed ocular examination including refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, biomicroscopy, OCTA measurement and optic biometry measurement.

Bilateral acute depigmentation of the iris (BADI) is a rare disease characterized by iris atrophy. Although it can be self-limiting, it is sometimes progressive and can lead to glaucoma and severe vision loss.

Methods: Twenty OABD patients, 20 OIBD patients and 20 healthy control subjects were included into the study. The BD ocular attack score 24 (BOS24) scoring system was used to assess the activity of disease in ocular BD patients.
Objectives: This study examined changes in the levels of organic acids, which are important tear metabolites, after corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) treatment for keratoconus.
Methods: This prospective, nonrandomized, interventional case series included a single eye from 24 patients who were scheduled to receive CXL treatment (Dresden protocol) for progressive keratoconus. Before CXL treatment and at 6 months after treatment, tears were collected in capillary tubes.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate retinal and choroidal thicknesses in children with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
Methods: Thirty patients with FMF and 28 healthy controls were included in the study. The thicknesses of the retina and choroid of each subject's right eye were measured at the fovea and horizontal nasal and temporal quadrants at 500-µm intervals to 1500 µm from the foveal center using spectral-domain optic coherence tomography.
