Article Synopsis
- This study compared the choroidal thickness and vascularity metrics between patients with reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) and those with drusen in a sample of 100 patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
- A total of 48 eyes with RPD formed Group 1, while 52 eyes with drusen were in Group 2; the study also included 40 healthy controls for comparison.
- Results indicated that Group 1 had significantly lower choroidal thickness, total choroidal area, stromal area, and luminal area compared to Group 2, suggesting that changes in choroidal vascularity could be important for understanding RPD's pathophysiology.
Purpose: To evaluate macular capillary perfusion in patients with fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI) by using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Material And Method: A total of 19 eyes of 19 patients with unilateral FHI underwent detailed eye examination. OCTA (RTVue-XR Avanti) images were obtained from both eyes.
Objectives: To evaluate changes in the clinical findings of keratoplasty patients who could not be examined face-to-face and were followed up by telephone during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Materials And Methods: Patients with penetrating keratoplasty who presented to the cornea department between March 2020 and February 2021 were grouped according to whether they showed clinical deterioration (Group 1: no deterioration, Group 2: deterioration). The patients' last visit prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and their first visit after the pandemic-related lockdown ended were evaluated.
Objectives: To evaluate and compare the risk factors, presenting features, and outcomes of patients with culture-positive and culture-negative microbial keratitis (MK) who presented to a tertiary referral center.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of 314 patients who were diagnosed with MK in our clinic between 2012 and 2019.
Results: Among 314 patients, 142 had positive cultures (45.
