Vitrectomy With Short-Term Perfluorocarbon Liquid Tamponade for Retinal Detachment With Inferior Retinal Breaks and Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy.

To assess and compare the results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with short-term perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) tamponade and combined PPV with scleral buckling to treat rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with inferior retinal breaks complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). The medical records of patients who had vitreoretinal surgery for RRD with inferior retinal breaks complicated by PVR were reviewed. Group 1 had PPV with PFCL, and Group 2 had PPV with scleral buckling.

The impact of vitreomacular traction on vitreous vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor levels in neovascular age-related macular degeneration patients.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of vitreomacular traction (VMT) on vitreous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth factor (PlGF) levels in patients with active neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Design: A prospective, interventional, case-control study.

Methods: The study included a total of 70 patients from whom vitreous samples were obtained.

Evaluating Turkish Readability and Quality of Strabismus-Related Websites.

Background This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the readability of strabismus-related websites and the quality of their content. Methodology This cross-sectional study evaluated the websites on strabismus disease using Ateşman and Bezirci-Yilmaz's readability formulas, which have been scientifically verified to be effective for Turkish people. The study picked texts from the first 50 websites that appeared on the screen after typing "strabismus treatment" into the Google search engine based on their Turkish reading level and information reliability.

Atypical Presentation and Delayed Diagnosis of Gyrate Atrophy: Case Reports of Two Siblings.

Gyrate atrophy (GA) is a hereditary condition characterized by ornithine aminotransferase deficiency-related large areas of retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris lobular-shaped atrophy in the peripheral retina. In this report, we present a case of atypical presentation of GA. The aim of this report is to present two siblings, one of which was associated with a lamellar macular hole and with a history of previous diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa.

Long-term Outcomes of Submacular Perfluorocarbon Liquid Removal with Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling and Transretinal Aspiration.

Background: An important complication associated with perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) use during pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is its retention in the submacular area. The aim of this study was to present the long-term outcomes of the surgical method used in this study to remove submacular PFCL and to shed light on the advantages and disadvantages compared to other methods.

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective, single-center, observational study.

Evaluation of lacrimal drainage system in Pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of the obstruction of lacrimal drainage system (LDS) in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 152 eyes of 76 consecutive patients with bilateral PXF syndrome and 170 eyes of 85 age and gender-matched controls. The LDS evaluation was performed based on dye disappearance test, slit-lamp examination, diagnostic probing, and irrigation test.

Treatment of neovascular age related macular degeneration during COVID-19 pandemic: The short term consequences of unintended lapses.

Aim: To investigate the short-term effects of COVID-19 pandemic related unintended treatment lapses on neovascular age related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients.

Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, 140 patients who had at least one anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injection for nAMD within 12 months before COVID-19 pandemic and who had at least 3 months of unintended lapse for control visits during pandemic were recruited and underwent a detailed opthalmological examination and optical coherence tomography imaging.

Results: Of these 140 eyes, 113 (80.
