Assessment the neurodegenaration process of post-geniculate optic pathway in thalamic tumors using optical coherence tomography: Post-geniculate optic pathway in thalamic tumors.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of thalamic tumors related to post-geniculate optic pathway and those of microsurgical removal on neurodegeneration process of visual pathway using OCT.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 30 eyes of 15 patients with thalamic tumors and data compiled from 45 eyes of 45 healthy participants. The analysis of variables was divided into ipsilateral and contralateral eye depends on the laterality of brain tumors.

Does the novel coronavirus use the ocular surface as an entrance into the body or as an infection site?

This study attempts to review whether the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is transmitted through the ocular surface and examine the symptoms and signs of ocular disease. Considering that COVID-19 is transmitted by airborne droplets and close contact with infected individuals, we will also review the conditions to which eye clinics and ophthalmologists should pay attention to prevent the transmission of the disease. Although some researchers have argued that COVID-19 transmission cannot occur through the ocular surface, most of them are of the opinion that the ocular surface is a potential pathway of transmission.

How do intracranial tumors associated with visual pathways affect quadrant and sectoral based optical coherence tomography measurements: The effect of intracranial tumors on RNFL and GC-IPL thickness.

Aim: To investigate the quantitative sectoral and regional changes of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness in different types of intracranial tumors associated with visual pathways.

Methods: This comparative retrospective study included 58 eyes of 30 patients with intracranial tumors and the data of 62 eyes of 31 healthy subjects. The RNFL and GCIPL thicknesses were analyzed using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Extramacular Retinal Hole Following Intravitreal Dexamethasone Implant: Case Report.

The intravitreal dexamethasone implant Ozurdex is indicated for the treatment of macular edema due to diabetes and branch retinal vein occlusion. While the most common ocular side effects are elevated intraocular pressure and cataract formation, rare complications related to the injection have been reported. We present a case with extramacular retinal hole after Ozurdex injection.

Diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation for the treatment of refractory glaucoma after penetrating keratoplasty.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect and safety of diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) in eyes with refractory glaucoma after penetrating keratoplasty (PK).

Methods: Diode laser TSCPC was performed on 32 eyes of 32 patients with secondary glaucoma after penetrating keratoplasty. The mean follow-up period was 11.

Microvascular blood flow of the optic nerve head and peripapillary retina in unilateral exfoliation syndrome.

Purpose: To measure microvascular blood flow in patients with unilateral exfoliation syndrome (XFS) without glaucoma or ocular hypertension and to compare the values in the eyes with clinically detected exfoliation, their nonexfoliative fellow eyes of the same patients and control eyes.

Methods: Twenty-two patients with clinically detected unilateral XFS and 30 age-matched healthy subjects were included in this study. Group 1 consisted of 22 eyes with clinical XFS, and the nonexfoliative fellow eyes of the same patients formed Group 2.
