An Analysis of ChatGPT4 to Respond to Glaucoma-Related Questions.

Prcis: In recent years, ChatGPT has been widely used as a source of information. In our study, it was revealed that ChatGPT gives accurate information about glaucoma.

Purpose: We examined the knowledge of ChatGPT about glaucoma.

The relationship between retinal neurodegenerative changes and overactive bladder syndrome in multiple sclerosis.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the neuroaxonal damage of the optic nerve and retina in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with and without overactive bladder (OAB).

Patients And Methods: We included patients with MS, divided into two groups, based on the severity of OAB symptoms, as evaluated by the OAB-V8 questionnaire. The groups were compared in terms of each dial of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness, macular thickness, and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (mGCIPL) thickness.

Restless legs syndrome in multiple sclerosis is related to retinal thinning.

Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is one of the most frequent comorbidities accompanying multiple sclerosis. Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) show thinning in the retinal layers throughout the disease. The thinning is related to acute attacks and progression and atrophy of the brain.

Trephination and silicone tube intubation in the treatment of canalicular obstruction.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of trephination and monocanalicular/bicanalicular silicone tube use depending on the number of affected canaliculi in patients with canalicular obstruction.

Methods: This retrospective study included 46 eyes of 36 patients who underwent trephination and silicone tube intubation performed by a single experienced oculoplastic surgeon due to canalicular obstruction between 2005 and 2020. Monocanalicular silicone tube was applied to patients with one canalicular obstruction, and bicanalicular silicone tube was applied to those with the upper and lower canalicular involvement of the same eye.

The significance of primary monocanalicular silicone tube intubation in late surgical treatment in children.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of monocanalicular silicone tube intubation outcomes as an initial surgical treatment in children older than 1 year old with primary nasolacrimal obstruction.

Methods: Probing or monocanalicular silicone tube intubation was performed as primary surgical treatment on 12-48 months old children with primary nasolacrimal obstruction. Probing was performed on 53 eyes of 43 patients and silicone tube intubation on 45 eyes of 39 patients.

Comparison of the Effects of Dovitinib and Bevacizumab on Reducing Neovascularization in an Experimental Rat Corneal Neovascularization Model.

Purpose: To compare the inhibitory effects of dovitinib and bevacizumab for treatment of corneal neovascularization (CNV).

Methods: Thirty-nine adult female Sprague Dawley rats weighing 180 to 250 g were used. CNV was induced by silver nitrate in the right eye of each rat.

Evaluation of Corneal Biomechanical Changes After Collagen Crosslinking in Patients with Progressive Keratoconus by Ocular Response Analyzer.

Objectives: To evaluate corneal biomechanics before and after collagen crosslinking (CXL) in patients with progressive keratoconus.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, CXL was performed under topical anesthesia after removal of the epithelium (epi-off technique) by applying ultraviolet A (UVA) light at a wavelength of 365 nm and power of 3 mW/cm2 or 5.4 joule/cm2.

The Importance of Frozen Section-Controlled Excision in Recurrent Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Eyelids.

Objectives: To show the importance of frozen section-controlled excision to avoid the re-recurrence of recurrent basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the eyelids.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-five cases who underwent eyelid tumor excision in different centers and were admitted to our clinic with recurrent eyelid tumors. Recurrent tumors were resected by excision 1-2 mm from the tumor's visible margin and sent to pathology for frozen section examination.

Comet Lesions in Patients with Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum.

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a genetic multisystemic disorder affecting the skin, eyes and cardiovascular system. Basic fundoscopic findings in PXE result from Bruch's membrane involvement. The most important fundoscopic findings are angioid streaks.

Fundus Findings in Dengue Fever: A Case Report.

Dengue fever is a flavivirus infection transmitted through infected mosquitoes, and is endemic in Southeast Asia, Central and South America, the Pacific, Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean region. A 41-year-old male patient had visual impairment after travelling to Thailand, which is one of the endemic areas. Cotton wool spots were observed on fundus examination.
