Objective Determination of Retinal Function in Bietti Crystalline Retinopathy.

A 44-year-old female patient without any known systemic or ocular disease presented with progressive visual loss and night vision disturbance. Visual acuity was 0.6 in the right eye and 0.

Choroidal and macular thickness changes in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients without diabetic retinopathy.

Objectives: To explore choroidal thickness (ChT) and retinal thickness (RT) changes in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Methods: Sixty patients with Type 1 DM and 60 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included in this prospective case-control clinical study. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmological examination.

Is overactive bladder a nervous or bladder disorder? Autonomic imaging in patients with overactive bladder via dynamic pupillometry.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes in dynamic pupillometry in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB).

Methods: The study included 40 female patients with idiopathic OAB and 40 healthy female volunteers as a control group. Demographic and clinical data were recorded.

Delayed visual loss due to radiation retinopathy.

Radiation retinopathy remains a devastating cause of visual morbidity in patients undergoing radiation for globe, orbit, and head and neck malignancies. A 65-year-old female was admitted with the complaint of low vision in the right eye for two months. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/32 in the right eye and 20/25 in the left eye.

Diabetic Macular Edema.

Unlabelled: Diabetic macular edema (DME), one the most prevalent causes of visual loss in industrialized countries, may be diagnosed at any stage of diabetic retinopathy. The diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of DME have become straightforward with recent developments in fundus imaging, such as optical coherence tomography. Laser photocoagulation, intravitreal injections, and pars plana vitrectomy surgery are the current treatment modalities; however, the positive effects of currently available intravitreally injected agents are temporary.

Evaluation of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and choroidal thickness in pseudoexfoliative glaucoma and pseudoexfoliative syndrome.

Objectives: To compare retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) and choroidal thickness (ChT) measurements in eyes with pseudoexfoliative (PEX) glaucoma, PEX syndrome and healthy control eyes.

Methods: Eighteen patients with PEX glaucoma in one eye and PEX syndrome in the fellow eye were included. The right eyes of thirty-nine age- and sex-matched healthy subjects were included as control group.

Retinal structural changes in systemic arterial hypertension: an OCT study.

Purpose: To assess retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC), and macular thickness changes in young adults with systemic arterial hypertension.

Methods: This study included 80 young patients (age 23.8 ± 2.

Coexistence of Posterior Staphyloma, Retinitis Pigmentosa and Moderate Myopia.

The authors report a 22-year patient presented with night-blindness and progressive visual loss. Ophthalmologic examination included slit lamp biomicroscopy, best-corrected distance visual acuity, cycloplegic refraction, A-mode and B-mode ultrasonography, and full-field flash electroretinogram (ERG). Cycloplegic refractions were -6.

Early Neurodegeneration of the Inner Retinal Layers in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Purpose: This study explores retinal structural changes in type 1 diabetes without clinically diagnosed diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Methods: Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness, and macular thickness (MT) were measured in 90 type 1 diabetic patients by using spectral domain optical coherence tomography. The values were compared with 100 sex- and age-matched healthy controls.

Choroidal Thickness Changes in the Acute Attack Period in Patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate choroidal thickness changes during acute attacks of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).

Methods: Fifty patients with FMF and 50 healthy controls were included. Choroidal thickness of each participant was measured at the foveola and horizontal nasal and temporal quadrants at 500-µm intervals to 1,500 µm from the foveola using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

The prevalence and causes of visual impairment in young Turkish men.

Objective: To explore the causes and prevalence of visual impairment in young Turkish men.

Methods: The health examination data of the candidates that are saved in National Defense Ministry of Turkey was used. The data of the candidates examined between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2011 were evaluated.

Drastic effect of ranibizumab on choroidal neovascularization in idiopathic angioid streaks.

A 28-year-old man presented with bilateral vision loss. His best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.3 in the right eye (OD) and 0.

Choroidal thickness in systemic arterial hypertension.

Purpose: To assess choroidal thickness changes in young adults with systemic arterial hypertension.

Methods: This prospective study comprised 80 hypertensive patients and 80 healthy control subjects. Choroidal thickness was measured with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) (RS-3000, Nidek).

Diode laser-assisted transcanalicular dacryocystorhinostomy: the effect of age on the results.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the effect of age on the success of transcanalicular diode laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (TCDCR).

Methods: Seventy patients (70 eyes) who underwent transcanalicular diode laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy for the treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction as a primary surgery were included in this retrospective, nonrandomized study. The patients were divided into two groups according to age.
