Patient activation in adults with visual impairment: a study of related factors.

This study aims to analyze variables related to patient activation in 78 individuals with visual impairment. The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) scores of participants showed no differences between males and females. It was found that the individuals living in urban areas, and participants with higher income and education levels had higher PAM scores.

Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Revised Low Vision Independence Measure (LVIM-R).

Importance: Few tools are available for assessing the activity performance of people with low vision. Additional practical instruments are required for occupational therapy evaluation.

Objective: To evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Revised Low Vision Independence Measure (LVIM-R).

The status of the choroid in patients with optic disc drusen.

Purpose: To investigate the subfoveal and peripapillary choroidal thickness (CT) and the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) in patients with optic disc drusen (ODD).

Methods: This cross-sectional study examined the eyes of 17 patients with ODD and 18 healthy control subjects. The CT values were calculated manually from the images captured by enhanced depth imaging-optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).

Intracranial hypertension and visual loss following COVID-19: A case report.

A 40-year-old woman presented with headache, bilateral optic disc edema, and visual loss. She had been diagnosed with COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) 15 days ago. Her cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure was 410 mmHO, and cranial imaging was normal.

Intracranial Mass Lesion in a Patient Being Followed up for Amblyopia.

A 12-year-old boy being followed up for amblyopia presented to our hospital with visual disturbance in the left eye. The patient's best corrected visual acuity on Snellen chart was 1.0 in the right eye and 0.

Sports participation and quality of life in individuals with visual impairment.

Background: The positive effects of sports participation on health can be an important issue for rehabilitation of visually impaired individuals.

Aims: Our aim was to determine the relationship between sports participation and quality of life in individuals with visual impairment.

Methods: The study included 100 athletes who participated in national games for people with visual impairment and 100 subjects who did not participate in sports as the control group.

Could Platelet Indices and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio Be New Biomarkers for Differentiation of Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Neuropathy from Non-Arteritic Type?

The aim of this study was to assess the possible relationship between AAION (arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy) and NAION (non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy) with blood platelet parameters and NLR (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio). The medical records of 12 patients with AAION, 33 patients with NAION, and 35 healthy subjects were examined. MPV, PDW, and PCT values showed marked elevation in AAION and NAION groups compared with control group.

Ocular alignment and results of strabismus surgery in neurologically impaired children.

Aim: To evaluate ocular alignment and surgical results of strabismus surgery in neurologically impaired children.

Methods: Files of 33 neurologically impaired squint children were evaluated. Twelve patients had cerebral palsy(CP), 4 had CP with mental retardation, therest had mental-motor retardation of unknown cause.

Laser in situ keratomileusis for treatment of fully or partially refractive accommodative esotropia.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in partially refractive accommodative esotropia (pRAE) and fully refractive accommodative esotropia (fRAE).

Methods: Forty-two eyes of 21 patients who had LASIK for correcting hyperopic refractive error were evaluated. Refractive errors, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), ocular alignment, and stereopsis were recorded before and after LASIK.

Lower lid retraction: a valuable finding in juvenile Graves' orbitopathy.

Purpose: To evaluate the findings of juvenile Graves' orbitopathy.

Subjects And Methods: Retrospective evaluation of our patients with Graves' disease who are younger than 16 years.

Results: Seventeen patients younger than 16 years were identified among 138 patients who were being treated for hyperthyroidism and goiter.
