Objectives: This study was a prospective evaluation of changes in the results of visual field tests taken before and after pterygium excision.

Methods: This was a prospective, single-center study. Seventy-five eyes of 75 patients who had undergone pterygium excision with autograft implantation were enrolled.

Effectiveness of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty as Initial or Adjunctive Treatment for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) at lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) as initial or adjunctive treatment in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods: This was a prospective, comparative study. A total of 162 eyes of 81 patients with bilateral POAG were evaluated.

Long-Term Results in Transcanalicular Laser and External Dacryocystorhinostomy.

Objectives: This study was an examination of the long-term results of transcanalicular laser (TCL) and external (EX) dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR).

Methods: Patients who had undergone TCL-DCR or EX-DCR between 2009 and 2013 were invited for long-term follow-up in 2019. All of the patients who responded had an ophthalmic examination and were assessed using lacrimal irrigation.

The Modified Technique of External Dacryocystorhinostomy in the Management of Complicated Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction.

Aim: To evaluate the outcome of the modified technique of external dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) with a "U"-shaped single flap that was fixed on to the orbicularis muscle with combined silicone tube in dacriostenosis. In cases with decreased visibility because of excessive bleeding during surgery, a small sac size, and difficulty of mutual suturing between nasal mucosal and sac flaps related to distance.

Methods: This retrospective study included 118 patients with a nasolacrimal duct obstruction who underwent the modified technique of EDCR.

The effect of phacoemulsification surgery on intraocular pressure and anterior segment anatomy of the patients with cataract and ocular hypertension.

We evaluated the effect of phacoemulsification surgery on intraocular pressure (IOP), anterior chamber depth (ACD), iridocorneal angle (ICA), and central corneal thickness (CCT) of the patients with cataract and ocular hypertension. The decrease in IO P values of the 1 st week, 1 st month, 3 rd month, 6 th month, and 1 st year was statistically significant, but that of the 2 nd year was not significant. The increase in ACD and ICA values of the 1 st week, 1 st month, 3 rd month, 6 th month, and 1 st year was statistically significant, but that of the 2 nd year was not significant.

Phacoemulsificatıon in eyes wıth cataract and high myopia.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes and complications following phacoemulsification surgery in eyes with cataract and high myopia.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the data of 43 eyes of 28 consecutive patients (12 males, 16 females) with cataract and high myopia who had undergone phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. The mean [± standard deviation (range)] age of the patients was 59.

The influence of size and shape of Nd:YAG capsulotomy on visual acuity and refraction.

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of size and shape of neodymium:yttrium aluminum- Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy on visual acuity and refraction.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 85 eyes of 67 patients treated with Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification (PCO). The mean age of included patients was 57.

The course of dry eye after phacoemulsification surgery.

Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the course of dry eye syndrome after phacoemulsification surgery.

Methods: One hundred and ninety-two eyes of 96 patients (30 males, 66 females) with chronic dry eye syndrome and cataract, who had undergone phacoemulsification surgery were enrolled in this study.

Results: Their mean age was 68.

Toxic anterior-segment syndrome (TASS).

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical findings and courses of five patients who developed toxic anterior-segment syndrome (TASS) after cataract surgery and investigate the cause.

Materials And Methods: In May 2010, on the same day, ten patients were operated on by the same surgeon. Five of these patients developed TASS postoperatively.

The effectiveness of postoperative early ostium cleaning in transcanalicular diode laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy.

Purpose: To search the effectiveness of postoperative first week ostium cleaning in transcanalicular diode laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (TDL-DCR).

Materials And Methods: A total of 123 eyes of 123 patients with acquired dacryostenosis who had surgery were retrospectively evaluated. Diode laser was used in all patients.

Pediatric endocanalicular diode laser dacryocystorhinostomy: results of a minimally invasive surgical technique.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of endocanalicular diode laser dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), which is a minimally invasive surgical technique, in pediatric patients with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). A retrospective study was carried out on patients treated between October 2008 and August 2009 for nasolacrimal duct obstruction with an endocanalicular diode laser procedure. Patients diagnosed as having nasolacrimal duct obstruction were included in this study and an endocanalicular diode laser procedure was performed.
