Corneal Clarity and Tomographic Patterns in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome: A Severity-Based Investigation.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the corneal and anterior segment characteristics in pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS), depending on the severity of the disease.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital, in the ophthalmology department, in Turkey. Pseudoexfoliation syndrome group was classified into three groups.

Analysis of Corneal and Lens Densitometry Changes in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Purpose: By comparing the densitometry findings of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and the healthy group, we aimed to understand the possible changes that may occur in the cornea and lens in those with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Design: Prospective, cross-sectional study.

Methods: A total of 60 eyes of 60 patients with T1DM and 101 eyes of 101 healthy subjects were included in this study.

Does Subretinal Fluid Optical Density Ratio Differ Among the Eyes with Acute Central Serous Chorioretinopathy,Vogt Koyanagi Harada Disease and Choroidal Hemangioma: A Cross-sectional Study.

Purpose: To investigate the diagnostic value of optical density ratio (ODR) in various diseases with subretinal fluid (SRF) due to different pathophysiologies.

Methods: Patients with acute central serous chorioretinopathy, CSCR (n = 49), Vogt Koyanagi Harada disease, VKH (n = 34), and choroidal hemangioma (n = 17) characterized with SRF were included. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images were analyzed using ImageJ by three independent readers.

Corneal densitometry in patients with arcus senilis and its correlation with serum lipid levels.

Purpose: To evaluate corneal densitometry (CD) of patients with arcus senilis (AS) and its association with the serum lipid markers.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional, case-control study. The AS diagnosis was made clinically.

CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Secondary Vasoproliferative Tumor of the Retina.

A 16-year-old boy with X-linked retinoschisis was examined for the visual decline on his left eye. Upon examination, a vasopermeable elevated mass lesion was determined at the lower temporal retinal periphery associated with surrounding arc-like hard exudates which is consistent with a vasoactive proliferative tumor of the retina. After discussing the therapeutic options with the patient and his parents, 3 successive dexamethasone implants 6 months apart were administered.

Unilateral Purtscher-like retinopathy as the presenting feature of a case with spontaneous carotid artery dissection.

Carotid artery dissection should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a clinician faces with a case presenting with a unilateral Purtscher-like retinopathy.

Corneal and lens densitometry in patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis.

Aim: To evaluate corneal and crystalline lens densitometry in patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC).

Methods: This is a case-control study. Patients with VKC and age-gender-matched healthy controls underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination with corneal and crystalline lens densitometry measurements.

Multimodal imaging features of a spontaneously resolved unilateral congenital macrovessel-related macular edema in a 13-year-old boy.

Congenital retinal macrovessels (CRM) are large aberrant blood vessels that cross the horizontal raphe. Visual acuity may be negatively affected in cases afflicted with CRM due to macular serous detachment, hemorrhage, exudation, foveolar cyst formation and retinal artery occlusion. Even the presence of an anomalous vessel itself running through the foveal avascular zone may compromise the visual acuity.

Unilateral Acute Macular Toxoplasmic Chorioretinitis Associated with White Dot-Like Choroidal Involvement Demonstrated on Indocyanine Green Angiography.

A 9-year-old otherwise healthy boy was examined due to a 4-day history of visual decline in his right eye. Ophthalmological examination revealed an area of active retinochoroiditis in the right macula. Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) demonstrated multiple hypocyanescent dots surrounding the active lesion extending 360 degrees towards the equator.

Favorable clinical outcome with intravitreal aflibercept treatment in a case with bilateral choroidal neovascular membrane and quiescent Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.

To describe the favorable clinical outcome in a case with bilateral choroidal neovascular membrane and quiescent Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome by administering bilateral intravitreal aflibercept injections. A 30-year-old woman was diagnosed with VKH syndrome at another institution and had been in remission with oral mycophenolate mofetil for two years. However, nearly simultaneous right juxtafoveal and left subfoveal type 2 choroidal neovascular membrane was detected two years after the initial diagnosis.

Inflammatory Choroidal Neovascular Membranes in Patients With Noninfectious Uveitis: The Place of Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Therapy.

Inflammatory choroidal neovascularization (iCNV) is an infrequent but an important cause of visual morbidity in patients with non-infectious uveitis and mostly occurs in intermediate or posterior uveitis. Punctate inner choroiditis, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and multifocal choroiditis are among the leading causes of uveitis entities resulting in iCNVs. The diagnosis and management of iCNVs still remain a challenge.

Multimodal Imaging Characteristics of a Large Retinal Capillary Macroaneurysm in an Eye With Severe Diabetic Macular Edema: A Case Presentation and Literature Review.

Though microaneurysms are the hallmark of diabetic retinopathy (DR), large aneurismal changes termed as ''macroaneurysms'' (MAs) may also occur in the course of chronic diabetic macular edema. MAs are usually accompanied by intraretinal hard exudates, fluid accumulation and retinal hemorrhages. Detection of MAs is clinically important as it implies that macular edema is usually chronic and therefore can be resistant to intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections.

[Peripapillary whitening in high myopia: only a staphyloma posticum?].

This article reports the case of a 55-year-old female patient who presented with visual deterioration and previously known myopia. Funduscopy revealed a tilted optic disc along with a peripapillary staphyloma and a yellowish lesion on the inferior border of the optic disc. Optical coherence tomography showed an intrachoroidal cavitation.

Swept-source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in a Patient with Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy Followed for Ten Years.

A woman with Bietti’s crystalline dystrophy (BCD) was first examined when she was 27 years of age and has been followed for 10 more years. The disease course was monitored initially with spectral domain-optical coherence tomography and then with swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). OCTA analysis showed that choroidal vessels could be visualized at the outer retinal layer segmentation due to retinal pigment epithelial atrophy and blood flow was reduced at the level of choroidal segmentation.

Intravitreal Aflibercept as an Adjunct to Systemic Therapy in a Case of Choroidal Neovascular Membrane Associated with Sympathetic Ophthalmia.

Choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV) is a very rare complication in patients with sympathetic ophthalmia. We hereby report a 38-year-old man who developed a type 2 CNV in his only seeing (left) eye while under systemic steroid treatment. Systemic therapy was revised and a total of 5 intravitreal aflibercept injections (2 mg each) were administered over a period of 8 months.
