Early results of dexamethasone implant, ranibizumab, and triamcinolone in macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion.

Purpose: To compare the short-term results of the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone intravitreal implant (DEX), ranibizumab (RAN), and intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) in macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

Methods: One eye each of 32 patients who were treated with intravitreal injections for macular edema secondary to BRVO was studied. This retrospective study included 3 groups.

Effect of 1% brinzolamide and 0.5% timolol fixed combination on intraocular pressure after cataract surgery with phacoemulsification.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of brinzolamide-timolol fixed combination on intraocular pressure (IOP) after cataract surgery.

Methods: The study included 92 eyes of 87 patients who underwent cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation. Patients scheduled for phacoemulsification were assigned to 1 of 2 groups.

Bilateral consecutive optic neuropathy in a patient with thrombophilia.

A 39-year-old man was admitted with a sudden visual loss in the left eye. Visual acuities were 10/10 on the right and 1/10 on the left. Fundus examination did not show any abnormalities.

Peripapillary and macular retinoschisis in a patient with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.

A 55-year-old man was admitted with a 2-year history of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. The best-corrected visual acuities were 10/10 in both eyes. Pseudoexfoliation material was noted on the iris and the lens capsule.

Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina: a case report.

Gyrate atrophy is a rare metabolic disease characterized by hyperornithinemia, typical retinal and choroidal lesions, high myopia with marked astigmatism, early cataract formation, and autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. In this paper, we describe a 12-year-old boy presenting with high myopia and gyrate fundus lesions, in addition to 10-times elevated serum ornithine level.

Ultrasound biomicroscopic evaluation of the efficacy of a transillumination technique for ciliary sulcus localization in transscleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of the transillumination technique for precisely locating the ciliary sulcus in transscleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PC IOLs) by determining the haptic positions with ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Numune Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.

Methods: Ultrasound biomicroscopy was used to determine the haptic positions in eyes with ab externo transsclerally fixated PC IOLs.

A case of postganglionic Horner syndrome after catheterization of internal jugular vein confirmed with pharmacological tests.

Horner syndrome, consisting of ipsilateral miosis, upper eye lid ptosis, and facial anhidrosis, has been reported as a rare complication of internal jugular vein catheterization. In this paper, we describe a nine-year-old girl presenting with postganglionic Horner syndrome, in whom right-sided ptosis and miosis occurred after ipsilateral percutaneous internal jugular venous catheterization.
