Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of latanoprost therapy on lamina cribrosa (LC) thickness and depth in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) compared to healthy individuals.
- Results showed that before therapy, LC thickness was significantly thinner in POAG/OHT patients.
- After one and three months of latanoprost treatment, LC thickness increased while LC depth decreased, indicating positive changes in ocular health for treated patients.
Objective: Tobacco use is an important risk factor for more than 20 types of cancer, especially cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and many other health problems. Cigarettes are one of the most commonly used tobacco products in the world, and they can cause both physical and mental addiction.

- The study assessed the impact of Rhinapi nasal spray on allergic rhinitis symptoms among 10,000 participants in Turkey over a 3-week period.
- The treatment led to significant improvements in total symptom scores, quality of life (QoL) scores, and otolaryngological examination scores, with statistically significant changes before and after usage.
- The findings suggest that Rhinapi effectively reduces symptoms of allergic rhinitis and can be considered as an additional treatment option for those affected.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of severe COVID-19 infection on the corneal endothelium via in vivo specular microscopy.
Methods: This was an observational, prospective, and controlled study including 56 eyes of 56 severe COVID-19 patients, compared to after-recovery and 56 eyes of 56 age- and gender-matched healthy controls.
Results: Endothelial cell density was lower in the active disease period compared to healthy controls ( = .
Purpose: To determine the possible impact of wearing N95 respirator or surgical masks on retinal vessel diameters and choroidal thickness in healthy healthcare workers.
Methods: Diameters of peripapillary retinal arteries and veins and choroidal thickness values at the foveal center and at 1000 μm distances from the foveal center in both nasal and temporal directions were measured before mask wearing using a spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. After four hours (h) of N95 or surgical mask wearing vessel diameter and choroidal thickness measurements were repeated.
