Aim: To develop normative data for meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) parameters, using non-contact meibography technique of Sirius Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici (CSO) machine, in an Egyptian population sample.
Methods: Observational, cross-sectional, analytic study, in which 104 Egyptian volunteers were included. Both upper lids were examined, using " CSO" machine.
Aim: To study and compare the predisposing factors and clinical features of pediatric, adult, and elderly rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Methods: This is an observational analytic cross-sectional study in which patients with RRD admitted for surgery during 6mo period were divided into 3 age groups: pediatric (<18y), adult (18-60y), and elderly (>60y). Patients' demographic data, clinical features, RRD predisposing factors/features including myopia (axial length ≥26.
Purpose: To investigate topical nepafenac drops (TND) effect on retinal vasculature following uneventful phacoemulsification.
Methods: 54 eyes were randomly assigned to G1: TND 3 days preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively; G2: TND for 1 month postoperatively; and G3 no TND (control). BCVA, macular OCTA were compared baseline, 1 week and 1 month.
Purpose: To investigate the retinal microvascular and choroidal thickness changes in eyes with active Behḉet's disease posterior uveitis and post-remission.
Patients And Methods: A prospective longitudinal observational analytic study where patients with active Behḉet's posterior uveitis (BU) were assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and enhanced depth imaging OCT during activity and after remission, for retinal microvascular and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) changes.
Results: 26 eyes of 20 patients were included.
Aim: To study anatomical and visual outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with non-fovea-sparing (entire) internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in eyes with myopic foveoschisis (MF).
Methods: Prospective interventional case series of eyes undergoing PPV with entire ILM peeling for symptomatic MF.
Main Outcome Measures: Preoperative spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) epiretinal membrane, anomalous posterior vitreous detachment, vitreoschisis and postoperative changes in SD-OCT central foveal thickness (CFT), ellipsoid zone defect, foveal detachment (FD), macular hole (MH) diameter (if present) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR).
Purpose: To investigate functional and structural outcomes of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during primary vitrectomy for uncomplicated macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Methods: In this prospective interventional randomized comparative study, 43 eyes (43 patients) were randomly divided into group A (20), and group B (23), with and without ILM peeling respectively. Patients were evaluated clinically, and by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and microperimetry (MP) following silicone oil removal.
First experience with BAK-free travoprost 0.004% in topical glaucoma medication.

Objectives: Benzalkonium chloride (BAK)-free travoprost 0.004% (Travatan Z(®), Alcon Laboratories, Inc, Fort Worth, TX) is a new formulation that was developed with the aim of creating a formulation of travoprost that would maintain the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and have an improved overall safety profile, particularly improved ocular surface tolerability.
Methods: Thirty newly diagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients were treated with BAK-free travoprost 0.
