Purpose: To evaluate the thickness of anterior sclera and corneal layers in patients with systemic sclerosis.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study included 41 patients with systemic sclerosis and 41 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. The study and control groups were compared in terms of the thickness of anterior sclera, corneal epithelium, Bowman's layer, corneal stroma, and Descemet's membrane-endothelium complex.

Purpose: To analyze the motor and sensory outcomes of strabismus surgery in children born preterm (premature group) and full-term (control group).
Methods: The study was performed at a tertiary university hospital. Children who underwent strabismus surgery between 2012 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
Purpose: To compare the aqueous humor (AH) and serum levels of 4-hydroxynenal (4-HNE) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OhdG) in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEG) with each other and with age- and sex-matched control group.
Methods: This prospective study included 66 patients divided into three groups: PES (n = 24), PEG (n = 21), and a control group (n = 21). 4-HNE and 8-OhdG levels were analyzed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Objective: To investigate the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) and its relationship with clinical features and clinical activity score METHODS: Right eyes of 53 patients with TAO and 53 healthy subjects were scanned for subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), CVI, choroid-stromal area (C-SA), choroid-luminal area (C-LA), choroidal stromal index (CSI), choroid-stromal-to-luminal-area ratio, and CVI and CSI within the central 1500 µm of the macula (CVI and CSI) by enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography. The results of the TAO group and the healthy controls were compared.
Results: The SFCT was significantly greater in the TAO group than in the control group (p = 0.
Background: The Lidcombe Program is a stuttering treatment approach for children between the ages of 3 and 6 years. Most papers about the Lidcombe Program, however, are based on studies conducted in native English-speaking countries. The aim of this paper is to systematically review the delivery and implementation of the Lidcombe Program in non-native English-speaking countries.

Materials And Methods: Two hundred and twenty-four eyes of 224 healthy subjects were included in this prospective cross-sectional study. The eyes were divided into different age groups to analyse the possible age-related choroidal structural changes.
Purpose: To describe the occurrence of paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) associated with branch retinal artery occlusion secondary to polycythemia in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot.
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 30-year-old man presented with acute vision loss and superior visual deficit in his left eye for two days.
Purpose: To compare the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and choroidal thickness (CT) in smokers and healthy non-smoking subjects using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Methods: Forty-two smokers with no systemic disorders and 46 age-sex matched healthy volunteers were included in the study. SD-OCT was used to measure choroidal thickness at the fovea and 1500 µm intervals from the foveal centre in both nasal and temporal directions.
