Ocular Disorders in Turkish Children with Sensorineural Hearıng Loss: A Cross-Sectional Study and Literature Review.

Purpose: To investigate types and frequencies of ocular disorders in children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), and to emphasize the importance of ophthalmological examination in these children.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of the examination records of children examined in our instutititon between January 2011 and September 2014 was performed. Ocular disorders of children with SHNL were selectively reviewed.

Serum Lipid Levels in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome.

Purpose: To investigate the serum lipid levels in pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome and its association with systemic vascular disorders.

Materials And Methods: Patients were divided into three groups: 52 patients with PEX syndrome (group 1), 20 patients with PEX glaucoma (group 2), and 47 control subjects without PEX syndrome or glaucoma (group 3). The fasting serum total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride levels were evaluated by Beckman Coulter DXC 800/USA biochemical analyzer.

Serum neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in retinopathy of prematurity.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between serum neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Methods: Infants with a gestational age of ≤32 week were screened for ROP. Complete blood cell, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and interleukin 6 levels of subjects were measured within the first 24 hours of life.

Ophthalmological Findings of Turkish Children With Muscular Dystrophies.

Purpose: To present the results of ophthalmological examinations in children with muscular dystrophies and highlight the importance of their ophthalmological evaluation.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of the ophthalmological examination records in 74 children with a type of muscular dystrophy, examined between January 2011 and January 2015, was performed.

Results: The most common type of muscular dystrophy observed in our patients was Duchenne muscular dystrophy (67.

Initial Ophthalmic Findings in Turkish Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) frequently have ophthalmologic disorders. Due to poor cooperation with ophthalmological examination, ocular abnormalities in such children may be overlooked. We retrospectively studied the records of 324 patients diagnosed as ASD that underwent ophthalmological examination between January 2011 and November 2014 at Dr.
