Capsular bag distension syndrome (CBDS) can be effectively treated using either Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy or surgery. Assessing anterior segment, particularly immediately after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, could provide clinically relevant information on ocular dynamics, refractive changes, and complication mechanisms, especially in late postoperative CBDS. To explore the acute effects of Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy on anterior segment parameters in late postoperative CBDS.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 24 primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients (24 ears) and 22 pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEG) patients (22 ears) who were followed for at least 5 years in the Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University Ophthalmology Department, as well as 21 age- and gender-matched healthy individuals (21 ears, control group). Following a thorough ophthalmological examination that included visual acuity and intraocular pressure measurements, as well as anterior and posterior slit-lamp biomicroscopy, audiometry was performed in all participants to determine hearing function.
Background: To compare the content and quality of 3D YouTube videos with 2Ds as additional educational tools for phacoemulsification surgery.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 2D and side-by-side 3D phacoemulsification videos found on YouTube by searching for "phacoemulsification," "phaco," and "cataract." Data was collected on video length (min), time since upload (days), number of views, likes, dislikes, cataract type, chop technique, and visualization system.
Background: Investigation of retinal ultrastructural, electrophysiological, and microvascular morphological changes, as well as correlations between these changes and visual outcome in naïve diabetic macular edema (DME) patients after intravitreal bevacizumab therapy (IVBT).
Methods: This prospective interventional study enrolled 31 DME patients' eyes treated with monthly IVBT for three months. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) were measured, and fundus fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), microperimetry, as well as optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) were performed before and after IVBT.
Background: This report describes a case with paracentral acute middle maculopathy revealing a giant aortic aneurysm.
Case Description: A 41-year-old man presented with unilaterally unexplained sudden vision loss in the left eye. Fundoscopy revealed a slightly pale r -26etinal reflex in the superior retinal hemifield.
Background: Evaluation of anatomical and functional recovery of the retina after aflibercept therapy in neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study enrolled 33 eyes of 33 naive age-related macular degeneration patients with an average age of 69 (55-82) years. Following a thorough ophthalmological examination, baseline color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography were used to assess the angiographic characteristics and classification of the lesions.
Article Synopsis
- Tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages globally, and this study aimed to explore its acute effects on retinal blood vessels using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
- The study included 60 healthy participants divided into two groups: one drank black tea while the other only consumed water, and various retinal vascular metrics were analyzed post-consumption.
- Results showed no significant changes in macular microcirculation between the black tea and water groups, suggesting that acute black tea consumption does not impact retinal circulation in healthy individuals, but it could lay the groundwork for further research on long-term effects.
Background: This study intended to illustrate a rare case of pyogenic granuloma (PG) in retinal vein occlusion (RVO) patient after dexamethasone (DEX) implant therapy.
Case Description: A 58-year-old female who underwent DEX implant therapy a month ago due to RVO presented with a mass in her right eye. Anterior segment analysis revealed a slowly enlarging, round, fleshy vascular mass indicating PG located at the injection site.
Background: The purpose of this study was to report the effects of smoking on retinal vascular parameters.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study design, 24 smokers were included as a study group and 26 age- and sex-matched non-smokers as a control group. A detailed ophthalmic examination including review of medical history, visual acuity testing, intraocular pressure measurement by Goldmann applanation tonometry, ocular movement and pupillary reflex examination, slitlamp biomicroscopy as well as dilated funduscopic examination were undertaken in all participants.
