Choroidal thickness in healthy Turkish subjects.

Aim: To investigate choroidal thickness in healthy Turkish subjects.

Materials And Methods: Refraction, axial length (AXL) measurement, anterior chamber, and fundus examinations were performed. Eyes that had any retinal or choroidal pathology were excluded from the study.

Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography findings in Behçet disease.

Purpose: Investigation of subfoveal choroidal thickness in Behçet disease (BD) with enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).

Methods: The study included 35 patients with posterior uveitis (PU) associated with BD, 35 patients with BD without ocular involvement, and 30 healthy controls.

Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of age, gender, axial length, or spherical equivalent refractive error.

Cyclosporine a 0.05% eye drops for the treatment of subepithelial infiltrates after epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.

Background: To evaluate the treatment with topical 0.05% cyclosporine A (CsA) in patients with subepithelial corneal infiltrates (SEI).

Methods: We reviewed 16 patients (22 eyes) before and after the treatment with 0.

Botulinum toxin injections for blepharospasm prior to ocular surgeries.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to show the efficiency of preoperative botulinum toxin A (Botox A) in patients with benign essential blepharospasm who were to undergo ocular surgery with local anesthesia.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight benign essential blepharospasm patients who were administered unilateral Botox A prior to ocular surgery between January 2004 and May 2011 were included in this study. Eleven cases had pterygiums, ten had cataracts, and four had glaucomas, while the remaining three had aphakia.

Efficiency of endoscopic imaging in repetitive probing following unsuccessful probing.

Purpose: To show the efficiency of repetitive probing performed with intranasal endoscopic imaging in cases who underwent unsuccessful probing and the accompanying nasal pathologies.

Methods: Eighty-four eyes of the 64 patients in whom primary probing was found to be unsuccessful were included in the study. Cases were divided into 3 groups, depending on the number of unsuccessful attempts (1 [group 1], 2 [group 2], and 3 [group 3] unsuccessful probings).
