Purpose: To evaluate the etiology and possible prognostic factors affecting the visual outcome in patients with indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (TON).

Methods: The records of patients with indirect TON were reviewed and compared the results of treatment with high doses of corticosteroids (Group 1) and simple observation without treatment (Group 2).

Results: The mean age at the time of injury was 34.

Surgical Results of Symmetric and Asymmetric Surgeries and Dose-Response in Patients with Infantile Esotropia.

Objectives: To evaluate the results of symmetric and asymmetric surgery and responses to surgical amounts in patients with infantile esotropia.

Materials And Methods: The records of patients with infantile esotropia who underwent bilateral medial rectus recession (symmetric surgery) and unilateral medial rectus recession with lateral rectus resection (asymmetric surgery) were analyzed. The results of the cases with symmetric (group 1) and asymmetric (group 2), successful (group 3) and failed (group 4) surgeries were compared, and responses to the amount of surgery were investigated.

Primary and Secondary Intraocular Lens Implantations in Children With Pediatric Cataract: Visual Acuity and Strabismus at the Age of 2 Years and Older.

Purpose: To compare the visual outcomes of primary and secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantations and to identify the risk factors for the development of strabismus in patients with pediatric cataract.

Methods: The records of the pediatric patients who had undergone cataract surgery between January 1999 and November 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. The results of the cases with cataract extraction with primary IOL implantation (primary group) and cases with secondary IOL implantation (secondary group) were compared and the risk factors for the development of strabismus were investigated.
