Iris thickness measurements in patients with diabetic retinopathy.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate iris alterations in diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Methods: Sixty-nine eyes of 69 patients were recruited and three groups of patients were examined: proliferative DR ( = 25), non-proliferative DR ( = 21) and healthy controls ( = 23). Macular optical coherence tomography (OCT), anterior segment iris OCT, and slit lamp digital camera photographs were taken.

Oxidative Stress and Genotoxicity in Pterygium: A Systemic Investigation.

Objectives: To perform a systemic investigation on oxidative stress and DNA damage in patients with primary pterygium.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included 32 patients with primary pterygium (60.1±2.

Quantitative assessment of macular contraction and vitreoretinal interface alterations in diabetic macular edema treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF injections.

Background: Macular contraction after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections for diabetic macular edema (DME) was evaluated by documenting the displacement of macular capillary vessels and epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation.

Methods: A total of 130 eyes were included in this retrospective study. The study group consisted of 63 eyes which had intravitreal anti-VEGF injections for DME, and the control group included 67 eyes without central DME.
