Clinical features, management, and outcomes of patients with sterile endophthalmitis associated with intravitreal bevacizumab injection: retrospective case series.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical features, treatment protocol, outcomes, and complications that developed in this case series of 24 patients who had consecutive sterile endophthalmitis after intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection.

Methods: In this retrospective case series, IVB was repackaged in individual aliquots from the three batches that were used on the same day. IVB was injected into 26 eyes of 26 patients due to diabetic macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, and branch retinal vein occlusion.

Comparison of Intraocular Tamponade in Patients with Peripheral Tear-Induced Retinal Detachment and Coexisting Macular Hole without High Myopia.

Introduction: To introduce the surgical results and examine the effect of intraocular tamponades on surgical outcomes in patients with coexisting macular hole (MH) and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) without high myopia.

Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional, two-center study was carried out with 29 eyes of 29 patients. The patients were divided into two groups according to the intraocular tamponade used in surgery: silicone oil (Group 1) and CF gas (Group 2).

Two-year results of a novel sutureless scleral fixation surgery with the haptic hook technique.

Purpose: In this study, we evaluated the visual results and complication rates of the novel technique of sutureless scleral fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) surgery in patients without capsular support.

Methods: In this retrospective study, patients who did not have adequate capsular support and who underwent sutureless SFIOL between 2013 and 2017 at the University of Health Science Dr. Lütfi Kirdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital's Eye Clinic were included.

The impact of delayed anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment for retinal diseases during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Purpose: To assess the clinical status of treatment-naive patients who had to delay 3-dose loading anti-VEGF (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor) injections during the COVID-19 lockdown, and to evaluate the effect of the delayed visual acuity treatment on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) parameters.

Method: A total of 55 eyes of 46 patients who were received in the study period participated in this retrospective study, including 28 patients (37 eyes) with diabetic macular edema (DME), 11 patients (11 eyes) with retinal vein occlusion (RVO), and 7 patients (7 eyes) with wet age-related macular degeneration (wet-AMD). The patients were diagnosed with DME, RVO, or wet-AMD in February 2020 and had planned 3-dose loading injections in March, April, and May 2020, but could not be injected due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sutureless Scleral-Fixated Intraocular Lens Implantation in the Treatment of Congenital Lens Subluxation Related to Marfan Syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimanual capsulorhexis combined with sutureless scleral-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in children diagnosed as having Marfan syndrome.

Methods: The study included 14 eyes with subluxated lenses of 7 children who were diagnosed as having Marfan syndrome and underwent bimanual capsulorhexis combined with sutureless scleral-fixated IOL implantation by the same surgeon between 2015 and 2019 at the University of Health Sciences, Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kirdar City Hospital's Eye Department.

Effects of Dexamethasone Implant on Multifocal Electroretinography in Central Retinal Vein Occlusion.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of Ozurdex (dexamethasone intravitreal implant) on multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) findings during the treatment of macular edema secondary to the central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Methods: Fifteen eyes of 15 patients who were treated with Ozurdex implant due to CRVO-related macular edema were included in this study. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and mfERG evaluations were performed for all patients before injection of Ozurdex.

Evaluation of Peripapillary Nerve Fiber Layer after Dexamethasone Implantation (Ozurdex) in Branch Retinal Vein Occlusions.

To evaluate the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thicknesses of patients treated with intravitreal Ozurdex implant due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) related macular edema (ME). Thirty-three eyes of 33 patients treated with Ozurdex implant due to ME associated with BRVO were included in the study. Ophthalmic examinations including determination of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP), and central macular thickness (CMT) and peripapillary RNFL assessment with optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed before the injection of Ozurdex implant and during the 6-month follow-up period after the injection.

Use of an Intravitreal Dexamethasone Implant (Ozurdex) in a Case with Accidental Foveal Photocoagulation by Alexandrite Laser.

Alexandrite laser is one of the most common methods of hair removal. Its utilization is gradually increasing due to easy accessibility and high effectiveness. However, the disuse of protective goggles during the application of this laser is a serious problem.
