Evaluation and correlation of stress scores with blood pressure, endogenous cortisol levels, and homocysteine levels in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy and comparison with age-matched controls.

Context: Stress had been associated with the development of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). The study was designed to evaluate the effect of stress on other risk factors of CSC such as serum cortisol levels, serum homocysteine levels, and blood pressure (BP) in CSC patients.

Aims: To compare stress scores, serum cortisol and serum homocysteine levels, and BP of CSC patients with that of control population and to correlate stress scores of CSC patients with BP, serum cortisol levels, and serum homocysteine levels.

Small-incision cataract surgery in patients with Fuch's heterochromic iridocyclitis.

Introduction: Fuch's heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI) is often complicated by cataract formation.

Objective: To assess the results of small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) in FHI and to study the effect of preoperative factors on postoperative vision.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-three eyes of 59 patients with Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis who had SICS with in-the-bag implantation of intraocular lens (IOL) were evaluated retrospectively; and the primary and secondary outcome measures evaluated were the postoperative vision and complication rate.
