Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare responses to aflibercept treatment in age-based groups of patients with macular edema following branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
Methods: Eighty-five patients with macular edema following BRVO were divided into 4 groups according to their age: Group I (i.e.
Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the lamina cribrosa (LC) thickness, LC depth, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, in migraine patients with and without aura, by using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods: This single-center, case-control study included 27 migraine with aura (Group I), 35 migraine patients without aura (Group II), and 35 healthy controls (Group III). In only the right eyes of participants, RNFL thickness in all quadrants was analyzed via OCT, whereas LC thickness and depth were measured by enhanced depth imaging OCT.
Objective: Hyperferritinemia cataract syndrome (HFCS) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease characterized by increased serum ferritin levels and bilateral cataract formation in the early period of life. Heterozygote mutations in the 5’ untranslated region of the L-ferritin gene () have been reported to cause this disease. In this study, our purpose was to research the gene mutations that cause HFCS in Central Anatolia and the clinical effects of these mutations.

Methods: Prospective, controlled study. The central macular, choroidal, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thicknesses were evaluated using enhanced depth imaging-spectral domain optical coherence tomography in individuals with OSAS.
