Introduction: Cataract surgery is the most common ophthalmic surgical procedure worldwide. In addition, the retina and choroid are the tissues most susceptible to damage during cataract surgery. However, conflicting results have been found about the relationship between choroidal thickness (CT), retinal thickness (RT), and cataract surgery.

Materials And Methods: Forty-two eyes of 21 patients with progressive keratoconus and simultaneously undergoing accelerated epi-on CXL in one eye and accelerated epi-off CXL in other eye were evaluated. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with spectacle in logMAR and topographic findings (mean keratometry [ ] and maximum keratometry [) were recorded at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 months.
The Relationship Between Macular Cyst Formation and Ischemia in Diabetic Macular Edema.

September 2019
Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between cyst characteristics and macular and peripheral ischemia in diabetic macular edema (DME).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed eyes with DME and included those with clinically significant macular edema as defined by ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study) and cystoid spaces in optical coherence tomography scans in this study. Central subfield thickness (CSFT), horizontal and vertical diameters of the largest cyst, cyst area, and the remaining retinal thickness outside the cyst were determined.
Objective: To evaluate neural and vascular retinal morphology of children with isolated growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and to determine any retinal changes due to GH treatment.
Methods: Twenty-eight children with isolated GHD and 53 age-, gender- and body mass index-matched healthy volunteers were enrolled in this prospective study. The retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and macular thickness (MT) were measured, as well as intraocular pressure (IOP).
Purpose: To evaluate safety, efficacy and postoperative characteristics of polyacrylamide 1.5% ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) left in anterior chamber during and at the end of combined phacoemulsification and pars plana vitrectomy surgery.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study comprised 20 eyes that received combined phacoemulsification and pars plana vitrectomy performed by the same surgeon.
Purpose: To investigate the agents of bacterial contamination of contact lenses after corneal collagen cross-linking (CCL), and to present the possible changes of ocular flora after riboflavin/ultraviolet A.
Methods: Seventy-two contact lenses of patients who underwent CCL and 41 contact lenses of patients who underwent photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) as control group were enrolled to the study. After 48 h of incubation, broth culture media was transferred to plates.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess macular choroidal thickness measurements in patients with different severities of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) versus normal controls by using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).
Design: This paper is a descriptive study.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, the macular area of 74 patients with OSAS and 33 controls were evaluated.
Purpose: To assess intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility of the measurement of choroidal thickness by using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).
Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was performed at Gazi University Ophthalmology Department. The macular areas of the right eyes of 110 healthy volunteers with no ophthalmic or systemic disease were recruited.
