We present the case of a 37-year-old woman who underwent bilateral penetrating keratoplasty for congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy at the age of 10 years. Over the subsequent 27 years, the patient's vision slowly deteriorated. Our examination revealed decompensation of the right corneal graft.

- A 50-year-old male with extensive eye condition was diagnosed with presumed xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and grade 2 foveal hypoplasia after ophthalmologic and dermatology evaluations.
- Optical coherence tomography confirmed the foveal hypoplasia, and the patient underwent genetic testing due to the rarity of these two conditions occurring together.
- The genetic testing revealed mutations in several genes, particularly noting the link of the LYST gene to foveal hypoplasia, contributing to the understanding of this unusual case.
Purpose: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (PSS) has many effects such as fatigue, pain, physical activity limitation and sleep disturbance, which limit patient's daily and social lives. The aim of our study was to assess fatigue, depression, physical activity status and quality of life in patients with PSS, and to determine the relationship between these data and disease-related parameters.
Patients And Methods: This study was conducted with 117 primary Sjögren's syndrome patients.
Background: Large language models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly important as they are being used more frequently for providing medical information. Our aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of electronic artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT-4, BingAI, and Gemini in responding to patient inquiries about retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Methods: The answers of LLMs for fifty real-life patient inquiries were assessed using a 5-point Likert scale by three ophthalmologists.
Purpose: To identify the risk of inducing ocular surface dysplasia following topical administration of 1% voriconazole eye drop.
Methods: Fourteen noninflamed healthy eyes of 14 white adult New Zealand rabbits were included in the study. The rabbits were randomly divided into two groups comprised of 7 rabbits each.
