Background: In recent years cognitive frailty has emerged as an important predictor of adverse health outcomes in older adults. Herein, we aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of cognitive frailty in a population of community-dwelling older adults in Iran.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted as part of the second cycle of the Amirkola Health and Aging Project (AHAP).

Introduction: The aim of the study was to report a case of ocular adverse events following influenza vaccination which involved bilateral myopic shift, ciliochoroidal effusion, and fine retinal folds in a middle-aged woman.
Case Presentation: A 42-year-old female presented with sudden-onset painless binocular decreased distance vision. She had received a quadrivalent influenza vaccine (Influvac Tetra) injection 10 days prior, a few days after which she experienced blurred vision.
Background: Age-related eye diseases and cognitive frailty (CF) are both important predictors of adverse health outcomes in older adults, however, little is known about their association.
Aims: To demonstrate the association between age-related eye diseases and cognitive frailty in a population of Iranian older adults.
Methods: In this cross-sectional, population-based study, we included 1136 individuals (female n = 514) aged 60 years and older (mean 68.
Background: The aim of this study was to compare trabeculectomy outcomes in patients with and without post-operative serous choroidal detachment (CD) and establish an association between CD and trabeculectomy outcomes.
Methods: In this 4-year retrospective cohort study, medical records of glaucoma patients older than 18 who underwent primary trabeculectomy with Mitomycin-C between 2012 and 2020 were reviewed. Phakic eyes without history of any other intraocular surgery and with at least one year of follow-up were included in the study.
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of intraocular pressure (IOP) and assess its association with age, sex, systemic blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, body mass index (BMI) and tobacco smoking in Iranian elderly population.
Methods: This cohort-based, cross-sectional study assessed elderly individuals aged 60-90 years in Amirkola, northern Iran, in 2016-2017. Past medical history, blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, BMI and tobacco smoking were recorded through an interview and physical examination.
Background: Ophthalmic manifestations are common in patients with leukemia, developing in nearly 50% of cases. Intracranial hemorrhage is another potentially fatal complication of leukemia. In this case report, we aim to present a challenging case that involves both ophthalmic and intracranial manifestations in an individual with acute monocytic leukemia.
