Intracorneal implantation of a misdirected foldable intraocular lens during phacoemulsification surgery: a case report.

A 59-year-old man presented with a unilateral blurring of vision in his left eye. His left eye's visual acuity was hand movements level. He underwent phacoemulsification surgery, and an intrastromal posterior chamber intraocular lens was implanted.

Comparison of Outcomes of External Dacryocystorhinostomy and Transcanalicular Laser-Assisted Dacryocystorhinostomy in Patients with Primary Acquired Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare anatomical and functional outcomes of external dacryocystorhinostomy (EX-DCR) and transcanalicular multidiode laser dacryocystorhinostomy (TDL-DCR) in patients with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO).

Methods: This study was conducted on 60 eyes of 60 patients with PANDO. The study subjects were randomly divided into two groups.

Evaluation of Choroidal Thickness in Patients with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome and Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma.

Purpose. To compare the macular and peripapillary choroidal thickness in eyes with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome and PEX glaucoma with the normal eyes of healthy controls. Materials and Methods.

Relationship between mean platelet volume and central serous chorioretinopathy.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mean platelet volume (MPV) of patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Thirty patients were included in the study. Thirty healthy volunteers were recruited as the control group.

Evaluation of inner and outer retinal thickness in patients receiving intravitreal ranibizumab injections for diabetic macular edema.

Purpose: To measure inner and outer retinal thickness with optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients in whom intravitreal ranibizumab was administered due to diabetic macular edema (DME) and to investigate its relation to the visual prognosis.

Methods: In this retrospective case series, there were 60 consecutive eyes with DME in which intravitreal ranibizumab injection was performed for 3 times in 1-month intervals. All patients underwent full ophthalmic examination and spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT).

Association of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and retinal vein occlusion.

Purpose: To evaluate the association between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the development of retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Methods: Forty patients were included in the study. Forty age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were recruited as the control group.

The Association between Diabetic Retinopathy and Levels of Ischemia-Modified Albumin, Total Thiol, Total Antioxidant Capacity, and Total Oxidative Stress in Serum and Aqueous Humor.

Purpose. To investigate the oxidant and antioxidant status of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (DRP). Methods.

Aqueous humour levels of ghrelin in exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma patients.

Purpose: To investigate levels of ghrelin in the aqueous humour (AqH) of patients with exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma and compare them to levels of ghrelin in control subjects.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 15 patients with exfoliation syndrome, 8 with exfoliation glaucoma and 12 control subjects for whom cataract surgery was indicated. The AqH was aspirated from the anterior chamber with a 27-G needle under sterile conditions prior to tissue manipulation.

Apoptotic effects of topical antiglaucoma medications on conjunctival epithelium in glaucoma patients.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to investigate the apoptotic effects of topical antiglaucoma medications on the conjunctival epithelium.

Methods: A total of 65 patients were included in the study. Thirty patients were included in the first group who had received antiglaucomatous therapy before trabeculectomy.

Comparison of the effects of bevacizumab and ranibizumab injection on corneal angiogenesis in an alkali burn induced model.

Aim: To investigate the effects of bevacizumab and ranibizumab on corneal neovascularization in an alkali burn-induced model of corneal angiogenesis.

Methods: Fifteen Wistar albino rats were divided randomly into 3 groups after chemical cauterization of the cornea. The first group received a single dose of 0.

Prevalence of refraction errors and color blindness in heavy vehicle drivers.

Aim: To investigate the frequency of eye disorders in heavy vehicle drivers.

Methods: A cross-sectional type study was conducted between November 2004 and September 2006 in 200 driver and 200 non-driver persons. A complete ophthalmologic examination was performed, including visual acuity, and dilated examination of the posterior segment.

Effect of latanoprost/timolol and dorzolamide/tiomolol on intraocular pressure after phacoemulsification surgery.

Aim: To evalaute the effect of fixed-combination latanoprost 0.005%/timolol maleate 0.5% and dorzolamide hydrochloride 2%/timolol maleate 0.

Ocular findings in patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.

Purpose: To describe ocular findings of patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF).

Design: Prospective, interventional, consecutive case series.

Methods: This study was conducted in Sivas, a city located in the central Anatolia, between July 1 and August 31, 2007.
