A Technique to Reduce Incidence of Opaque Bubble Layer Formation During LASIK Flap Creation Using the VisuMax Femtosecond Laser.

Purpose: To identify risk factors for opaque bubble layer (OBL) formation and compare the incidence of OBL using a cone modification technique versus the original technique for LASIK flap creation using the VisuMax laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany).

Methods: This retrospective study examined videos of flap creation using the VisuMax laser to identify OBL occurrence. Eyes were divided into three groups: eyes where OBL occurred using the original technique (OBL group), eyes where OBL did not occur using the original technique (no OBL group), and eyes in which the cone modification technique was used for LASIK flap creation (larger flap diameter) (cone modification technique group).

A sample predictive model for intraocular pressure following laser in situ keratomileusis for myopia and an "intraocular pressure constant".

Purpose: To describe a sample predictive model for intraocular pressure (IOP) following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia and an IOP constant.

Methods: The records of patients that underwent LASIK for myopia and myopic astigmatism via WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q 400 Hz excimer laser and Hansatome XP microkeratome were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with no systemic or ocular disease other than myopia or myopic astigmatism were included in the study.

Subfoveal choroidal thickness changes after intravitreal bevacizumab therapy for central serous chorioretinopathy.

Purpose:: To evaluate subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) changes after intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) therapy for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) using enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).

Methods:: In this retrospective study, we assessed the medical records of patients with CSC who received IVB (IVB group) or who were observed without intervention (control group). SFCT was measured using EDI-OCT.

Characterization of the Corneal Subbasal Nerve Plexus in Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency.

Purpose: To quantify the changes in the subbasal nerve plexus in patients with limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) using in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy.

Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional comparative study, confocal images of 51 eyes of 37 patients with LSCD collected between 2010 and 2015 by the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph III Rostock Corneal Module Confocal Microscope were analyzed. Two independent observers evaluated the scans of the central cornea.

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage during femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery.

Purpose: To describe a case of suprachoroidal hemorrhage that occurred during femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS).

Observations: A 67-year-old woman with high myopia underwent FLACS. Following two unsuccessful attempts at docking due to interface air bubbles, the third attempt was successful.

Long-Term Outcomes of the Boston Type I Keratoprosthesis in the Management of Corneal Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency.

Purpose: To report the long-term outcomes of the Boston type I keratoprosthesis (KPro) in the management of limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD).

Methods: Retrospective review of KPro procedures performed by a single surgeon from May 1, 2004, to January 1, 2015.

Results: One hundred seventy-three KPro procedures were performed in 149 eyes, including 68 in 54 eyes with LSCD.

An 11-Year Review of Keratoplasty in a Tertiary Referral Center in Turkey: Changing Surgical Techniques for Similar Indications.

Objectives: Study aims to evaluate the indications and surgical techniques for corneal transplantation and to report changes in trends for preferred keratoplasty surgical techniques.

Methods: Clinical records of 815 consecutive corneal transplantations between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2014 in Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital Eye Clinic were analyzed and classified into seven broad groups according to indications. Main outcome measures were change of leading indications and trends for surgical techniques.

Intravitreal Bevacizumab for Treatment of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) versus observation in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

Methods: In a retrospective comparative study, records of 45 patients with CSCR were reviewed. Twenty-two patients received IVB (1.

Evaluation of Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness in Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis.

Purpose. To evaluate the relationship between internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in the elderly population. Methods.

Acute retinal pigment epitheliitis: spectral domain optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, and autofluorescence findings.

A 17-year-old presented with central and paracentral scotomas in his right eye for one week. There was no remarkable medical or ocular history. Blood analyses were within normal range.

Effects of polyquaternium- and benzalkonium-chloride-preserved travoprost on ocular surfaces: an impression cytology study.

Purpose: To compare the toxicity effect of polyquaternium (PQ) and benzalkonium chloride (BAK) preservation of travoprost on the ocular surface.

Methods: This prospective study included 44 eyes of 44 patients with newly diagnosed glaucoma. Twenty-two patients used PQ-preserved travoprost (PQ group) and 22 patients used BAK-preserved travoprost (BAK group).

Ipsilateral rotational autokeratoplasty for the management of traumatic corneal scar.

A 40-years-old male patient with a corneal scar secondary to perforating eye injury had undergone ipsilateral rotational autokeratoplasty in our clinics. The corneal scar involved the pupillary area. The patient had a preoperative visual acuity of counting fingers.

Quantitative analysis of macular thickness following uneventful and complicated cataract surgery.

Purpose: To compare change of macular thickness after uneventful cataract surgery and after cataract surgery complicated with vitreous loss, using optic coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: Twenty eyes of 20 patients who underwent cataract surgery complicated with posterior capsular tear participated in this retrospective study (Group 2). The fellow eyes of those patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery served as the control group (Group 1).

Vitiligo in a Patient Treated with Interferon Alpha-2a for Behçet's Disease.

Behçet's disease (BD) and vitiligo are diseases of unknown etiology. Interferon (IFN) alpha therapy is commonly used in Behçet uveitis. Interferon treatment in various diseases have also been observed causing certain autoimmune diseases such as vitiligo because of its immunomodulatory activity.
