Evaluation of the effects of different mydriatic drops used on choroidal vascularity in healthy children.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of mydriatics drops used primarily in routine eye examinations on the choroid tissue, which has a dense vascular network in the eye.

Methods: This prospective observational study included 90 eyes of 90 healthy children. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) images were obtained for all children before dilation.

Macular Hole Surgery Without Postoperative Head Positioning: A Technique of Viscoelastic Device Injection Covering the Temporal Internal Limiting Membrane Flap.

The purpose of this study was to describe a technique in which a dispersive viscoelastic device is injected under air onto and around the inverted temporal internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap to close the macular hole (MH) without the need for any postoperative head positioning. A temporal ILM flap was created in the patients. The created ILM flap was inverted over the MH using perfluorocarbon (PCFL) injection.

The effect of ocular dominance on choroidal structures.

This study aimed to compare the dominant and non-dominant eyes of healthy individuals in terms of CT and CVI values to assess the effect of ocular dominance on choroidal morphology. Three hundred eyes of 150 individuals were included in this study. All patients underwent routine ophthalmological examinations and hole-in-the-card tests to determine the dominant eye.

Retinopathy of prematurity screening: can the examination time be reduced?

Clinical Relevance: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a significant cause of childhood blindness. Screening examinations that maintain accuracy, while improving the experience for families, could increase adherence to follow-up and decrease workload.

Background: Traditional ROP screening examinations are known to be uncomfortable for babies and stressful for parents.
