Endocyclophotocoagulation Combined with Phacoemulsification in Glaucoma Treatment: Five-Year Results.

Background: this study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of phaco-endocyclophotocoagulation (phaco-ECP) in patients with glaucoma over five consecutive years.

Methods: Thirty-eight patients (38 eyes) with primary and secondary glaucoma were enrolled to undergo phaco-ECP (Endo Optiks URAM E2, Beaver-Visitec International, Waltham, MA, USA). The primary outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, success rates, glaucoma medication use, and visual acuity after phaco-ECP.

Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of Ahmed Valve Implantation in Aniridic Glaucoma.

Background: This study assessed the efficacy and safety of Ahmed valve implantation in patients with aniridic glaucoma for three consecutive years.

Methods: Six adult patients (seven eyes) with Ahmed valve (AV) implants for aniridic glaucoma were enrolled in the study. The primary outcome measures were intraocular pressure reduction, glaucoma medication use, success rates, and visual acuity after AV implantation.

Retro-Mode in NIDEK Mirante: A Comparative Analysis with Other Imaging Modalities for AMD and CSR.

Background: Retro-mode is a novel technique capable of creating pseudo-3D images of the retina. However, its clinical utility remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the Nidek Mirante multimodal imaging platform for ocular assessment in patients with various retinal conditions.

Microcyclophotocoagulation in Glaucoma Treatment: A Medium-Term Follow-Up Study.

Background: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of transscleral microcyclophotocoagulation (µCPC) in patients with glaucoma for eighteen consecutive months.

Methods: Sixty-one patients (64 eyes) with primary and secondary glaucoma were enrolled to undergo µCPC (diode laser FOX 810, A.R.

Ultrasound ciliary plasty in glaucoma treatment: A long-term follow-up study.

Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound ciliary plasty (UCP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma for three consecutive years.

Methods: Sixty-one patients (62 eyes) with primary and secondary glaucoma were enrolled to undergo UCP. The primary outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, success rates, glaucoma medication use and visual acuity after UCP.

Assessment of Scleral and Conjunctival Thickness of the Eye after Ultrasound Ciliary Plasty.

Purpose: This study aims to assess scleral and conjunctival thickness using optical coherence tomography after ultrasound ciliary plasty (UCP) procedure with reference to scleral marks appearing in the area where the ultrasound energy was applied.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-eight patients with primary and secondary refractory glaucoma participated in this study. Complete ophthalmic examinations including measurements of scleral and conjunctival thickness were performed preoperatively and at 1 week, and 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postoperatively.

Trends in optical coherence tomography angiography use in university clinic and private practice setting between 2014-2018.

Background: The aim was to assess the trends in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) use compared with fluorescein angiography (FA).

Methods: A bilateral patient's exam on a single day was considered one examination. A total of 3680 and 700 OCTA examinations and 3387 and 439 FA examinations were performed between 2014 and 2018 in a university clinic and private practice, respectively.

Repeatability, reproducibility, and comparison of ocular biometry using a new optical coherence tomography-based system and another device.

Precise measurement of axial length before cataract surgery is necessary for the proper lens implantation. We included 100 eyes of 56 patients in the study. The mean age was 41 (15-84 years).

Does Oxygen Uptake Before Physical Exercise Affect Tear Osmolarity?

Recently, it has been reported that tear osmolarity (Tosm) is correlated with plasma osmolarity and will increase during exertion. We aimed to assess whether inhaling oxygen-enriched air between exercises could significantly change the Tosm value. Thirty men aged 24.

The Influence of Ultrasound Ciliary Plasty on Corneal Parameters.

Unlabelled: PRéCIS:: The ultrasound ciliary plasty (UCP) procedure affects corneal parameters, although the effect is transient. Ultrasound energy affects the sclera, leading to induced astigmatism. The area of energy application correlates with the astigmatism axis.

Reproducibility, and repeatability of corneal topography measured by Revo NX, Galilei G6 and Casia 2 in normal eyes.

Purpose: To test the repeatability and reproducibility of the topography module in posterior segment spectral domain optical coherence tomography with Revo NX (new device) and to compare keratometry values obtained by a Scheimpflug tomography (Galilei G6) and a swept source OCT (Casia 2).

Methods: In this prospective study, healthy subjects with nonoperated eyes had their central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior and posterior K1/K2 corneal power measured with the new device. Two operators made 6 measurements on the new device to check intraobserver repeatability and reproducibility, and measurement on Casia 2 and Galilei G6.

Treatment of conjunctival papilloma with topical interferon alpha-2b - case report.

Rationale: Conjunctival papilloma is a benign neoplastic lesion of epithelial origin, with a minimal tendency toward malignancy and an exophytic growth type. Etiological factors that contribute to the appearance of papilloma are UV exposure, HPV infection, smoking, and immunodeficiency. A case report of limbal conjunctival papilloma treatment with topical interferon alpha-2b eye drops applied to the conjunctival sac.
