Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine eyelid hyperlaxity and various corneal parameters in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) using advanced imaging techniques.
- A total of 32 patients with OSAS and 32 healthy individuals were evaluated, measuring parameters like corneal thickness and anterior chamber characteristics.
- Results showed that while most parameters were similar between groups, significant increases in certain eye measurements and a higher prevalence of upper eyelid hyperlaxity were found in the OSAS group, suggesting a link to glaucoma risk in these patients.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters in a healthy population and to detect any changes that occur with age.
Methods: A total of 100 healthy participants were included in this prospective, observational, and comparative study. The participants were categorized in 4 groups according to age: Group 1: 21-30 years, Group 2: 31-40 years, Group 3: 41-50 years, Group 4: 51-60 years of age.
Shape-morphing magnetic soft machines are highly desirable for diverse applications in minimally invasive medicine, wearable devices, and soft robotics. Despite recent progress, current magnetic programming approaches are inherently coupled to sequential fabrication processes, preventing reprogrammability and high-throughput programming. Here, we report a high-throughput magnetic programming strategy based on heating magnetic soft materials above the Curie temperature of the embedded ferromagnetic particles and reorienting their magnetic domains by applying magnetic fields during cooling.

Methods: Children from 38 rural schools in Caycuma district of Zonguldak Turkey underwent vision screening in their school using PlusoptiX S12 photoscreener.
Purpose: To evaluate macular volume, retinal nerve fiber layer, and macular and peripapillary choroidal thickness in acromegaly patients.
Method: In this prospective, case-control study, 31 patients with acromegaly and 32 healthy subjects were recruited. Only right eyes were evaluated.
Purpose: To evaluate the macular and peripapillary choroidal thickness and retinal volume in prediabetes.
Material And Methods: This prospective comparative study included 53 patients with prediabetes and 53 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. Only right eyes were selected.
