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.
Purpose: We evaluated changes in ocular and periocular elasticity by ultrasound (US) elastography in intravitreal ranibizumab-treated eyes and the healthy fellow eyes of patients with neovascular AMD.
Methods: The study was performed on 52 eyes of 26 volunteers who ranged in age from 59 to 89 (mean 72±7.78) years old.

Background: Corneal and lenticular optical properties are not well-documented in pediatric patients with inflammatory diseases. Here we aimed to evaluate corneal and lenticular optical density as well as corneal morphology in children with ocular and/or systemic inflammation by Scheimpflug imaging.
Methods: Fifty-five eyes of 29 children with non-infectious uveitis, 56 eyes of 28 children with systemic inflammation without uveitis and 60 eyes of 31 healthy children were included.

Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements of central choroidal thickness (CCT) and retinal thickness have been proposed as inflammatory indicators for a variety of systemic disorders, particularly those with a vascular component. The relationship between nephrotic syndrome (NS) and visual impairment is not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ocular changes in primary NS patients with preserved renal functions.

The choroidal vascularity index, defined as the ratio of the luminal area to the total choroidal area, is used as one of the biomarkers for assessing the choroid vascular state.
