Are There Any Changes in Corneal Biomechanics and Central Corneal Thickness in Fuchs' Uveitis?

Purpose: To compare corneal biomechanics, intraocular pressure (IOP) and central corneal thickness (CCT) of 38 patients with unilateral Fuchs' uveitis (FU) with 42 healthy controls.

Methods: Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), Goldmann-correlated and corneal-compensated IOP (IOPg and IOPcc, respectively) and CCT were measured.

Results: The mean CH, CRF, and IOPg of the involved FU eyes were significantly lower (9.

Clinical and Demographic Characteristics of Patients with Uveitis Starting Later in Life.

Purpose: To evaluate uveitis cases presenting at older ages for the first time.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data related to the 90 eyes of 68 patients who presented with a first episode of uveitis at the age of ≥60 years and were seen at the Uveitis Division of the Ulucanlar Eye Hospital from 1996 to 2013.

Results: The location of the uveitis was anterior in 51 (75%) patients.

Decreased retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in patients with congenital isolated growth hormone deficiency.

Purpose: To evaluate the optic disc topography parameters of children with congenital isolated growth hormone deficiency (GHD) using the Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT) in a controlled study.

Methods: This prospective study included 32 eyes of 32 patients with congenital isolated GHD and 36 eyes of 36 healthy subjects. The topographic optic disc parameters (mean cup volume, rim volume, cup area, disc area, rim area, mean cup-to-disc ratio and cup depth, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness [RNFL]) were imaged in all subjects with HRT-III (software 3.

Comparison of autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography findings in acute and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.

Aim: To discuss and compare the fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in acute or chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

Methods: Medical records of 100 cases of CSCR were reviewed. Acute and chronic cases were evaluated according to the duration of decreased visual acuity, serous retinal detachment (RD) and focal leakage on fluorescein angiography (FA).

Corneal properties in children with congenital isolated growth hormone deficiency.

Aim: To compare the corneal parameters of children with congenital isolated growth hormone deficiency and healthy subjects.

Methods: In this cross-sectional, prospective study, 50 cases with growth hormone (GH) deficiency treated with recombinant GH and 71 healthy children underwent a complete ophthalmic examination. The corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg) and corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) were measured with the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA).

Corneal biomechanical characteristics in children with diabetes mellitus.

To compare the corneal biomechanical properties in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and healthy children. In this cross-sectional study, the study and control groups were composed of 68 children with DM and 74 healthy children, respectively. The corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg) and corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) were measured with the ocular response analyzer (ORA).

Increased central corneal thickness in patients with Turner syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate central corneal thickness (CCT) values in patients with Turner syndrome (TS) and compare these values with healthy subjects.

Methods: A total of 31 subjects with TS and 67 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects made up the study and control group, respectively. The CCT values were measured by an ultrasound pachymeter in this cross-sectional prospective study.

Fundus autofluorescence imaging of patients with idiopathic macular hole.

Aim: To investigate the role of fundus autofluorescence (FAF) both in the diagnosis and the preoperative and postoperative evaluation of patients with idiopathic macular hole (MH).

Methods: Forty eyes of 40 patients diagnosed as idiopathic MH between May 2010 and May 2011 were included in this retrospective study. All patients underwent full ophthalmologic examinations and imagings including fluorescein angiography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and optical coherence tomography.

Corneal biomechanical parameters during pregnancy.

Purpose: To evaluate the variation in biomechanical properties and central corneal thickness (CCT) for each trimester during pregnancy and to compare the values with those in nonpregnant women.

Methods: We prospectively studied the eyes of 32 pregnant and 34 age-matched non-pregnant women. The parameters included corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure (IOP), and corneal-compensated IOP measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA).

Presumed herpetic anterior uveitis: a study with retrospective analysis of 79 cases.

Purpose: To describe the clinical features, visual outcome, medical treatment, and complications of presumed herpetic anterior uveitis.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data related to 79 eyes of 77 patients with presumed herpetic anterior uveitis seen at the Uveitis Unit of the Ulucanlar Eye Training and Research Hospital from 1996 to 2011. Age at onset of disease, sex, follow-up duration, existence of corneal involvement, posterior synechiae, distorted pupil, iris atrophy, characteristic of keratic precipitates, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), medical treatment, recurrence rate, complications, visual acuities (VA), and surgery for complications were recorded.
