Age-related changes in biomechanical parameters of the cornea and intraocular pressure in a healthy Turkish population.

Background/aim: To investigate age-related changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and biomechanical parameters of the cornea in healthy subjects.

Materials And Methods: There were 404 healthy subjects included prospectively in this study. The subjects were divided into 3 groups (Group 1:93 subjects aged < 18, Group 2:189 subjects aged between 18 and 59, and Group 3:122 subjects aged ≥ 60).

Surgical outcomes and incidence of retinal redetachment in cases with complicated retinal detachment after silicone oil removal: univariate and multiple risk factors analysis.

Purpose: To analyze the surgical outcomes and retinal redetachment frequency after silicone oil (SO) removal for complex retinal detachment.

Methods: This institutional-based study included 894 consecutive patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with SO endotamponade for complicated retinal detachment. The effects of preoperative best-corrected visual acuity, vitreous base shaving, intraoperative scleral buckling, retinectomy, SO viscosity, duration of SO, and vitreous hemorrhage at the first postoperative week on the risk of redetachment were investigated.

Ophthalmic manifestations in familial Mediterranean fever: a case series of 6 patients.

Purpose: To describe the ocular involvement of patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) followed in a tertiary referral center.

Methods: The data of 6 patients with FMF were retrospectively reviewed. Detailed ophthalmologic examinations, type of inflammation, course of the disease, number of recurrences, treatment regimens, complications, and comorbid ocular or systemic diseases were noted.

Thirteen-year vitreoretinal surgical outcomes of 5,097 cases from a tertiary referral center in Turkey.

A 13-year retrospective chart review of 5,097 consecutive cases that underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in a tertiary referral center in Turkey was performed. Age at onset, sex, laterality, associated systemic disease, pre- and postoperative visual acuities (VA), indications, type of surgery and outcomes of surgery were analyzed. The most common indications for vitreoretinal surgery (VRS) were rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (n = 1,802, 35.
