Thickness of anterior sclera and corneal layers in systemic sclerosis.

Purpose: To evaluate the thickness of anterior sclera and corneal layers in patients with systemic sclerosis.

Methods: The present cross-sectional study included 41 patients with systemic sclerosis and 41 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. The study and control groups were compared in terms of the thickness of anterior sclera, corneal epithelium, Bowman's layer, corneal stroma, and Descemet's membrane-endothelium complex.

Alterations in retinal and choroidal thickness following nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

Purpose: To show alterations of retinal arteriolar caliber (RAC), retinal venular caliber (RVC), retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT), peripapillary choroidal thickness (ppCT), and central macular thickness (CMT) in acute and chronic phases of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).

Methods: Forty-one eyes of 41 patients with NAION were included in this retrospective study. RAC, RVC, RNFLT, ppCT, and CMT measurements were performed via spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in the acute and chronic phases of NAION.

Relationship of Sighting Ocular Dominance with Macular Photostress Test Time and Thickness of the Middle Macular Layers.

Significance: The mechanisms of sighting ocular dominance, which is particularly important in monovision therapies and sports vision, are not fully understood yet. Whether the macula affects ocular dominance or ocular dominance affects the macula is also a subject of interest.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of sighting ocular dominance with macular photostress test time and middle macular layer thickness.

Iris thickness measurements in patients with diabetic retinopathy.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate iris alterations in diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Methods: Sixty-nine eyes of 69 patients were recruited and three groups of patients were examined: proliferative DR ( = 25), non-proliferative DR ( = 21) and healthy controls ( = 23). Macular optical coherence tomography (OCT), anterior segment iris OCT, and slit lamp digital camera photographs were taken.

Inner retinal thickness and optic disc measurements in obese children and adolescents.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate optic nerve head parameters and inner retinal layer thicknesses in obese children and adolescents.

Methods: Forty-one eyes of 41 pediatric obese participants and 41 eyes of 41 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included in this study. Body mass index was calculated, based on sex and age, using body weight and height measurements.

Evaluation of corneal layers and anterior sclera in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the thickness of anterior sclera, corneal layers, and pre-ocular tear film between patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome and healthy individuals.

Methods: Fifty-one patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome and 41 healthy control participants were recruited in this cross-sectional and comparative study. The thickness of the pre-ocular tear film, corneal epithelium, Bowman's layer, stroma, Descemet's membrane, and endothelium were measured on the corneal apex.

Correlations of Corneal Optical Densitometry, Endothelial Hexagonality Percentage, and Epithelium Thickness.

Purpose: Our aim was to examine the associations between the cornea morphological parameters, endothelial cell density, and anterior chamber measurements.

Methods: This observational study included 50 eyes of 50 healthy volunteers. The thicknesses of corneal epithelium, Bowman's layer, stroma, Descemet's membrane-endothelium complex, and pre-ocular tear film were measured by means of anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

Evaluation of optic disc, retinal nerve fiber and macular ganglion cell layers in pediatric diabetes.

Purpose: Our aim was to compare optic disc parameters, retinal nerve fiber (RNFL) and macular ganglion cell layers between children and adolescents with diabetes mellitus (type 1) and healthy controls.

Methods: Sixty-three eyes of 63 pediatric diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy and 44 eyes of 44 healthy controls were included in this cross-sectional and comparative study. Diabetic and control groups were similar in the aspect of age, gender and refractive error.

Assessment of optic disc and ganglion cell layer in diabetes mellitus type 2.

The purpose of this study was to compare the optic disc parameters, retinal nerve fiber (RNFL), and macular ganglion cell layers between patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 and healthy controls.In this cross-sectional study, 69 eyes of 69 diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy and 47 eyes of 47 healthy controls were included. Optic disc parameters (i.

Publication trends in corneal transplantation: a bibliometric analysis.

Background: Our aim was to demonstrate the publication trends of corneal transplantation in the last decade.

Methods: All of the keratoplasty research articles, letters, case reports, reviews and meeting abstracts published between January 2006 and December 2015 indexed on the Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge were evaluated. A bibliometric filter was used to capture keratoplasty related publications by using the key words 'keratoplasty', 'corneal transplantation' or 'keratoprosthesis' in the 'title' selection mode.

Effects of ocular dominance on contrast sensitivity in middle-aged people.

Purpose. Our aim was to compare contrast sensitivity values of the dominant and nondominant eyes of healthy middle-aged subjects. Material and Methods.

Impact of Valsalva maneuver on corneal morphology and anterior chamber parameters.

Purpose: Our aim was to examine the influence of the Valsalva maneuver (VM) on corneal morphology and anterior chamber parameters.

Methods: This prospective observational study included 35 eyes of 35 healthy volunteers. One of the eyes of each subject was selected randomly.

Measurements of anterior segment parameters using three different non-contact optical devices in keratoconus patients.

Aim: To evaluate the measurements of anterior segment parameters using three different non-contact optical devices in keratoconus patients.

Methods: A hundred and one eyes of 55 keratoconus patients were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 26.

Effect of intracameral epinephrine use on macular thickness after uneventful phacoemulsification.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in central macular thickness using optical coherence tomography after uneventful cataract surgery combined with intracameral epinephrine use.

Setting: Beyoğlu Eye Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.

Methods: This prospective case series comprised eyes of consecutive patients who had uneventful phacoemulsification and in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) implantation between August 2005 and January 2006.
