Article Synopsis
- The study compared eye measurements (choroidal thickness, retinal capillary networks, and foveal avascular zone) between elite martial arts athletes and healthy sedentary controls aged 18-35.
- No significant differences were found in key metrics such as age, intraocular pressure, axial length, or visual acuity between the two groups.
- The findings suggest that the eye structures of martial arts athletes are similar to those of healthy sedentary individuals, indicating that training in martial arts may not lead to significant microvascular changes in the retina and choroid.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared optical biometric measurements between patients who had COVID-19 treatment and healthy controls to investigate any differences.
- Measurements such as keratometry and central corneal thickness were largely similar between the two groups, except for the astigmatic axis which was significantly different at a specific corneal measurement.
- Findings suggest that COVID-19 has notable effects on males' ocular measurements, highlighting the need for further research in this area due to previous gaps in the literature.
Purpose: To assess changes in retinal vascular caliber in response to short-term use of nepafenac eye drops in patients with mild diabetic macular edema.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-four patients with previously untreated bilateral mild diabetic macular edema were included in this prospective study. For each participant, one eye was randomly assigned to nepafenac treatment (0.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the impact of intravitreal aflibercept (IVA) on retinal vessel diameters in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), focusing on 15 eyes from 15 treatment-naive patients.
- - After receiving monthly IVA injections for three months, patients demonstrated significant retinal arteriolar vasoconstriction and improvements in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), as well as reductions in central macular thickness (CMT) and choroidal thickness.
- - Control eyes showed no significant changes, indicating that the observed effects were specifically linked to the IVA treatment.
Purpose: The aim of this paper was to assess and compare the effects of intravitreal ranibizumab and bevacizumab on retinal vessel diameter in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: Patients with neovascular AMD who underwent intravitreal injection of either ranibizumab or bevacizumab were included. Noninjected fellow eyes served as a control.
Purpose: The goal of this study was to assess the effects of a single injection of intravitreal ranibizumab (RAN) or bevacizumab (BEV) on the retinal vessel size in eyes with diabetic macular edema.
Materials And Methods: In total, 32 patients were enrolled in the RAN group, and 30 patients were included in BEV group. Each of these groups was also subdivided into two others groups: a study group and a control group.
