Thinning of the retinal nerve fiber and choroidal layers in adolescents with anorexia nervosa: A controlled study.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate retinal nerve fiber and choroidal layer alterations in adolescents with anorexia nervosa using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Methods: Thirty patients with anorexia nervosa and 30 healthy adolescents aged 12-18 years were included in this study. Their age, sex, body mass index, anorexia nervosa type, disease duration, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography data were recorded.

The role of blood neutrophil lymphocyte ratio in predicting the initial response to anti-VEGF treatment in neovascular AMD patients.

Purpose: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a critical role in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs is the mainstay of neovascular AMD treatment. Blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is shown to be a biomarker of inflammation in AMD. We aimed to investigate the role of NLR in predicting favorable short-term anti-VEGF treatment results in neovascular AMD patients.

Outcomes of fractionated CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients with choroidal malignant melanoma.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate local tumor control and complication development rates of fractionated CyberKnife radiosurgery (CRS) in patients with choroidal melanoma.

Methods: A total of 29 patients with choroidal melanoma were treated with fractionated CRS at Ankara Oncology Research and Training Hospital, Department of Radiotherapy between May 2009 and December 2013. Patients were treated with CRS if the initial height of the choroidal melanoma was ≥ 6 mm, or juxtapapillary and/or juxtamacular tumors with a height of >2.

Acute clouding of a trifocal intraocular lens during implantation: A case report.

Purpose: In this paper, we present a case of acute clouding of a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) that resolved spontaneously by the day after surgery.

Observations: A 68-year-old woman with a nuclear cataract in the right eye was scheduled for cataract surgery with +21.00 diopter trifocal IOL (AT LISA tri 839MP, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Germany) implantation.

Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio as a predictor of perioperative complications in patients with PEX Syndrome during cataract surgery.

Introduction: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) is an age-related process associated with glaucoma and cataracts. It increases the risk of complications during cataract surgery. Blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is shown to be an effective biomarker of inflammation in PES.

Evaluation of the effect of optic zone diameter selection on high-order aberrations in photorefractive keratectomy excimer laser treatment.

To evaluate the postoperative higher-order aberration (HOA) differences and visual quality outcomes of wavefront-optimised photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) surgery in 6.5-mm and 7.0-mm optic zones.

Accuracy of 8 intraocular lens calculation formulas in relation to anterior chamber depth in patients with normal axial lengths.

Purpose: To determine the effect of anterior chamber depth (ACD) on the accuracy of 8 intraocular lens calculation formulas in patients with normal axial lengths (ALs).

Setting: Baylor College of Medicine, Alkek Eye center, Houston, Texas, USA.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Intraocular lens power calculations in short eyes using 7 formulas.

Purpose: To investigate the accuracy of 7 intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulas in predicting refractive outcome in eyes with axial lengths (AL) equal to or less than 22.0 mm and to evaluate factors contributing to prediction errors.

Setting: Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, and private practice, Mesa, Arizona, USA.

The Relation of White-on-White Standard Automated Perimetry, Short Wavelength Perimetry, and Optic Coherence Tomography Parameters in Ocular Hypertension.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the demographics, clinical properties, and the relation between white-on-white standard automated perimetry (SAP), short wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP), and optical coherence tomographic (OCT) parameters of patients with ocular hypertension.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-one eyes of 61 patients diagnosed with ocular hypertension in the Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital ophthalmology unit between January 2010 and January 2011 were included in this study. All patients underwent SAP and SWAP tests with the Humphrey visual field analyser using the 30.

Evaluation of Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Renal Artery Resistive Index in Patients With Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome: A Prospective Case-Control Study.

Purpose: To investigate the significance of renal artery resistance and carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) parameters in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES).

Materials And Methods: In this prospective case-control study, 37 patients were involved and grouped as PES (n=19) and control groups (n=18). Ophthalmological evaluation included visual acuity, intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness measurement, and optic disc evaluation.

Relationship between pseudoexfoliation syndrome and erectile dysfunction: a possible cause of endothelial dysfunction for development of erectile dysfunction.

Objectives: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) is a common age-related fibrillopathy related to accumulation of pseudoexfoliation material (PEM) in certain places in the body, especially blood vessels. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is another condition related to vascular pathology and in this study it is aimed to identify the relationship between ED and PES.

Materials And Methods: Data of 92 patients were investigated.
