Treatment of Behçet Uveitis in Türkiye.

Objectives: Behçet uveitis (BU) is a potentially blinding disorder. The main determinant of visual prognosis is early and appropriate treatment that provides rapid suppression of inflammatory attacks, control of subclinical inflammation, and prevention of new attacks. Our study aimed to determine the Turkish uveitis specialists' approach regarding the treatment choices and management of special situations such as pregnancy, vaccination, and surgical planning in BU patients, and to increase information sharing and raise awareness of issues where knowledge is lacking.

Ocular Findings of Pediatric Dry Eye Related to Graft-Versus-Host Disease.

Objectives: To evaluate the frequency and findings of dry eye associated with ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients.

Materials And Methods: Retrospectively the records of pediatric patients with ocular GVHD were evaluated and ophthalmologic examination findings as well as Schirmer test results, tear film break-up time, and corneal staining grades were recorded. In severe dry eye patients topical cyclosporine-A was prescribed and the results were evaluated.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion.

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive alternative method used in the diagnosis and follow-up of acute branch retinal artery occlusion to show changes secondary to ischemia. We report a case with acute branch retinal artery occlusion. A 52-year-old man presented with a complaint of sudden-onset visual loss in the right lower quadrant of the left eye for the previous three days.

Evaluation of Intraocular Inflammation with Laser Flare Photometry in Behçet Uveitis.

Purpose: To evaluate the association between intraocular inflammation and laser flare photometry measurements in Behçet disease.

Methods: In total, 45 patients were included in the study. The retrospective chart reviews of patients were performed.

Evaluation of Aqueous Flare Levels Following Intravitreal Ranibizumab Injection for Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration.

Purpose: To evaluate aqueous flare levels following intravitreal ranibizumab injection for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Methods: In total, 81 eyes of 79 patients who underwent intravitreal ranibizumab injection for neovascular AMD were included. Aqueous flare was evaluated before pupillary dilatation with Kowa FM-600 laser flare meter at baseline, and 1 day, and 1 month after intravitreal administration of ranibizumab 0.

Nocturnal lagophthalmos in children with urofacial syndrome (Ochoa): a novel sign.

The urofacial syndrome is a rare condition that occurs in both genders and characterized by uropathy and facial abnormalities. Early diagnosis is crucial for the management and prognosis of urinary problems. Paradoxical inversion of facial musculature when smiling, giving an appearance of crying associated with severe urinary tract dysfunction is typical in these patients.

Anterior uveitis associated with laser epilation of eyebrows.

Background: The objective of the study is to report a case of unilateral anterior uveitis after laser hair removal of the eyebrows with an alexandrite laser.

Findings: A 36-year-old female presented with painful red eye and photophobia in her left eye 2 days after receiving alexandrite (755 nm) laser epilation of both eyebrows. Visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes.

Bell's palsy during interferon alpha 2a treatment in a case with Behçet uveitis.

Purpose: To present a case who developed Bell's palsy while using interferon alpha 2a for Behçet uveitis.

Methods: A patient with Behçet disease presented with decreased vision in his right eye. Ophthalmic examination, fundus fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography were performed.
