Background/objectives: It is debatable whether the decrease of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in myopic people under 18 years of age is due to insufficient measurement techniques or to real physical loss of retinal ganglion cells and axons. Hence, to better understand the relationship between the degree of myopia and the neuroretinal rim (NR), we aim to investigate the NR in the eyes of healthy myopic children using the novel measurement algorithms of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Subjects/methods: This prospective, cross-sectional study includes 378 left eyes of 378 (301 female) participants divided into three groups according to their spherical equivalent (SE) refractive error (RE) [Group-1(G1), -1.
Background And Objective: This study aimed to compare the 1-year postoperative phacoemulsification-trabeculectomy (P-Trab) and phacoemulsification-ExPRESS (P-200 model) miniature shunt (P-ExPRESS) combined surgeries.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective, comparative clinical study investigated 41 eyes of 41 patients diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma and cataract. Of these, 21 eyes underwent P-Trab surgery and 20 eyes underwent P-ExPRESS surgery.
Purpose: To compare the new spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) algorithm for measuring circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness centered on Bruch's membrane opening (BMO), RNFL, with the conventional circumpapillary RNFL thickness measurement centered on the optic disc (RNFL), and assess the BMO-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) in nonglaucomatous eyes with large discs.
Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional, observational study included a total of 91 eyes of 91 patients having nonglaucomatous eyes with large discs (Group 1) and 50 eyes of 50 healthy subjects (Group 2). The optic nerve head (ONH) parameters obtained by confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (CSLO), peripapillary RNFL thickness, BMO area, and BMO-MRW were imaged with SD-OCT.
Unlabelled: PRéCIS:: The present study suggests that immediate trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) may be performed as a safe and effective intervention in the management of refractory ocular hypertension (OHT)/glaucoma in patients with bilateral acute iris transillumination (BAIT).
Purpose: To report the long-term results of trabeculectomy with MMC in the management of OHT/glaucoma in patients with BAIT.
Materials And Methods: In total, 9 eyes of 6 patients with BAIT who underwent trabeculectomy with MMC between 2007 and 2015 were reviewed.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the glaucoma medication on Choroidal Thickness (CT) in those with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG) and normal cases. This prospective study included 27 patients with newly diagnosed POAG (group 1; 49 eyes), undergoing glaucoma treatment, and 30 patients, whose treatment was terminated due to misdiagnosis (group 2; 57 eyes). Choroidal thickness was measured using Enhanced Depth Imaging (EDI) with Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) at the first visit and almost one month later.

Materials And Methods: The medical records of all patients treated by phacoemulsification and PCIOL implantation for radiation-induced cataract after external beam radiotherapy for retinoblastoma at a single institution between 1980 and 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. The study included 6 eyes of 6 children (4 girls, 2 boys).
Bullous central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a rare variant of CSCR characterized by severe serous retinal detachment which especially involves the inferior quadrants. Corticosteroid therapy administered for systemic or ocular misdiagnoses may induce and exacerbate CSCR. The purpose of this study was to report diagnosis and treatment results of an unusual case of bullous CSCR induced by systemic and periocular corticosteroid therapy received at another medical center due to a misdiagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.

Materials And Methods: Medical records of 27 patients diagnosed with Coats' disease in our clinic were reviewed retrospectively. All patients underwent complete ophthalmological examination and fundus photography was taken.
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical characteristics of patients who were followed in our clinic with the diagnosis of peripheral exudative hemorrhagic chorioretinopathy (PEHC).
Materials And Methods: Medical records of 12 patients who were diagnosed with PEHC in İstanbul University İstanbul Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology between July 2006 and June 2014 were reviewed retrospectively.
Results: This study included 21 eyes of 12 patients.
Focal choroidal excavation is a choroidal pit that can be detected by optical coherence tomography. Central serous chorioretinopathy, choroidal neovascularization and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy are pathologies associated with focal choroidal excavation. In this article, we present the follow-up and treatment outcomes of three eyes of two patients with focal choroidal excavation.

To report the fundus findings on multimodal imaging of a membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II (MPGNII) patient. A 41-year-old woman had a medical history of renal transplantation for MPGNII 5 years prior to presentation to our clinic for ophthalmic examination. Fundus examination showed macular retinal pigment epithelial changes and large peripapillary atrophy in the right eye, and yellowish bilateral drusen-like deposits peripherally.

We present a case of silent polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in a patient with angioid streaks. PCV was detected during a routine ophthalmic examination and confirmed by fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and optical coherence tomography. After 2 years of follow-up, the PCV remained silent without any complications.
