The Relationship Between Anthropometric Z-Score Measurements and Ocular Structures in Turkish Children.

This study explores the contact between anthropometric Z-score values and ocular parameters in children. Recent studies investigated the relationship, and contact between anthropometric measurements and ocular parameters in children, and height, weight, body mass index, and percentile curves are mostly used as anthropometric data. However, today, different scoring systems such as "Z-score" classify anthropometric values.

Evaluation of the structural changes of uveitis patients by optical biometry.

To observe the ocular structural changes in active and inactive uveitis patients. This retrospective study involved 30 patients (32 eyes) with anterior and intermediate uveitis cases and 54 eyes of 54 cases in a control group, who were admitted to the Ophthalmology Department at Trakya University. In the study group, 14 patients were females, 16 patients were males and in the control group 26 volunteers were females, and 28 volunteers were male of the 54 volunteers.

Microvascular changes in obese adults detected by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

The aim of this prospective, controlled, non-randomized study was the comparison of the retinal microvascular parameters of obese and nonobese adults. 184 eyes of 92 subjects were separated to 3 groups. 68 eyes were in the normal weight group, with a body mass index between 18.

Decreased perifoveal ganglion cell complex thickness - a first sign for macular damage in patients using hydroxychloroquine.

To examine ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness detected by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), without any structural and functional macular changes to evaluate the initial symptoms of macular toxicity for early diagnosis before clinical evaluation. Eighty eyes of forty patients (Group 1) and forty eyes of twenty healthy volunteer persons (Group 2) were included in the study. Detailed ophthalmologic and mydriatic fundus examination were applied to all patients and volunteers (controls).

Application of autologous serum eye drops after pterygium surgery: a prospective study.

Purpose: The study aims to determine the effect of 50% autologous serum drops (ASD) on corneal healing and patient comfort following pterygium surgery.

Methods: Fifty eyes of 50 patients who underwent pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival graft were included in this prospective randomized study: in 25 eyes, 50% ASD. In the remaining 25 eyes, conventional artificial tears (CAT) were applied postoperatively until corneal epithelium had completely epithelialized.
