Assessment of the Quality and Readability of Online Resources on Corneal Transplantation.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality and readability of corneal transplant websites.

Methods:  We examined internet resources related to corneal transplantation. The search terms "cornea transplantation," "keratoplasty," "keratoprothesis," and "eye transplantation" were searched on www.

Evaluation of retinal and choroidal vascular structures in obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Purpose: To evaluate the optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-A) findings and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) of patients followed with a diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) by comparing them with the healthy control group (HCG).

Methods: This prospective study included 33 patients diagnosed with OCD and 32 HCG patients who followed up for at least 3 months. OCT-A images were obtained to evaluate the microvascular circulation, and enhanced HD line images were obtained for the CVI calculation of all patients.

Co-assessment of OCT-A and choroidal vascularity index data in multiple sclerosis patients.

Objective: To evaluate optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-A) findings and choroidal vascular index (CVI) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods: 113 patients, including multiple sclerosis patients with optic neuritis attack (MSON+) and no optic neuritis attack (MSON-) and healthy control group (HCG), participated in this cross-sectional study. OCT-A images of all patients were taken and CVI was calculated.

Investigation of Retinal Vascular Parameters and Choroidal Vascular Index in Patients Developing Hyphema After Unilateral Blunt Trauma.

Background: To evaluate retinal and choroidal vascular changes in cases with hyphema after blunt ocular trauma that did not cause globe rupture or any retinal pathology.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 29 patients who developed hyphema after unilateral blunt ocular trauma (BOT). The other healthy eyes of the same patients were evaluated as the control group.

Comparing the effects of serum GPER-1 and oxidant/antioxidant levels on retinopathy in patients with diabetes and healthy individuals: a pilot study.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of serum G receptor-mediated protein-1 levels on the development of retinopathy in patients with diabetes in comparison with healthy individuals.

Methods: The study enrolled patients with diabetic retinopathy (Group 1), patients without diabetic retinopathy (Group 2), and healthy individuals (Group 3). Levels of serum progesterone, serum G receptor-mediated protein-1, estradiol, oxidant/antioxidants, and thyroid-releasing hormones were analyzed and compared among the groups.

The treatment of a hypertrophic bleb after XEN gel implantation with the "Drainage Channel with sutures" method: a case report.

Background: The placement of a XEN gel stent is an ab-interno, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery which provides a subconjunctival drainage pathway and decreases intraocular pressure (IOP).

Case Presentation: A 75-year-old male patient who had undergone XEN45 gel implantation after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation appealed to the clinic. A filtration bleb was seen that extended through the nasal 180 degrees of the eye which caused ectropion of the lower eyelid.

Correlation of Demarcation Line Depth With Medium-Term Efficacy of Different Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking Protocols in Keratoconus.

Purpose: To compare demarcation line depth (DD) and topographic changes among different corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) protocols and to evaluate the relation of DD with medium-term efficacy of CXL in halting progression of keratoconus.

Methods: The study included 124 patients (mean age 19 ± 4.8 years) with progressive keratoconus who underwent conventional (3 mW/cm/30 min), accelerated (18 mW/cm/5 min), or transepithelial (TE) CXL (3 mW/cm/30 min) and followed up for at least 2 years.

Correlation of Corneal Endothelial Cell Density with Corneal Tomographic Parameters in Eyes with Keratoconus.

Objectives: To examine changes in corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) in different stages of keratoconus and evaluate its correlation with corneal tomographic parameters.

Materials And Methods: Two hundred six patients with keratoconus were enrolled in the study. Corneal topography was performed by Sirius (CSO, Italy), which has a rotating Scheimpflug camera and a Placido disc topographer.

Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in Lipemia Retinalis.

Severe hypertriglyceridemia can give rise to a fundus appearance with whitish-colored retinal vessels called lipemia retinalis. A 52-year-old man with hypertriglyceridemia presented with a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/20 in both eyes and creamy-white retinal vessels on fundus. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) revealed hyperreflective and engorged retinal vessels and white dots mainly accumulated in the inner nuclear and ganglion cell layer.
