Twelve-Year Incidence of Open-angle Glaucoma: The Thessaloniki Eye Study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the 12-year incidence of open-angle glaucoma (OAG), with further classification into primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG), in an elderly White population.

Design: A longitudinal, population-based study in urban Northern Greece.

Participant: Surviving cohort of the 2554 Thessaloniki Eye Study subjects 60 years and above who had the baseline examination.

Assessment of reporting quality of meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials in neovascular age-related macular degeneration published from April 2014 to May 2018 using prisma statement.

Purpose: To evaluate the reporting quality of meta-analysis on neovascular age-related macular degeneration treatment and safety profile based on PRISMA statement.

Methods: Electronic search performed in August 2018 to retrieve meta-analyses published from April 2014 to May 2018. PRISMA evaluation was determined by total scores of individual meta-analyses and items scores.

Bilateral Herpes Simplex Virus-related Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis Leading to Corneal Perforation in a Patient with Primary Herpes Simplex Virus Infection.

Purpose: To present a case of bilateral peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) caused by primary herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection resulting in corneal perforation.

Case Report: A 24-year-old man presented at the eye casualty of our clinic, with a 20-day history of severe pain, redness, photophobia, and tearing in both of his eyes. Slit-lamp examination revealed bilateral superior corneal perforation.

Inter- and intraobserver repeatability and reproducibility of choroidal thickness measurements using two different methods.

Purpose: To measure the inter- and intraobserver repeatability and reproducibility of choroidal thickness measurements taken by the enhanced depth imaging of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) in randomly selected subjects using two different protocols.

Methods: Twenty subjects of the Thessaloniki Eye Study database were randomly selected. The participants underwent EDI-OCT, and the choroidal thickness was measured on EDI images using two different protocols.

The omega-3 and retinopathy of prematurity relationship.

The aim of this article is to examine the effect of omega-3 (ω-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) intake on retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) by reviewing the experimental and clinical trials conducted on animal models and infants. LCPUFAs demonstrate cytoprotective and cytotherapeutic actions contributing to a number of anti-angiogenic and neuroprotective mechanisms within the retina. Their intake appears to have a beneficial effect on ischemia, oxidative stress, inflammation and cellular signaling mechanisms, influencing retinal cell gene expression and cellular differentiation.
