Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the lamina cribrosa curvature index in different types of glaucoma in comparison with clinical findings and conventional measurement methods.
Material And Method: Patients older than 18 years who were followed up in Glaucoma Unit of Department of Ophthalmology at Fırat University Faculty of Medicine, whose disease had been under control at least for 1 year, who had at least three reliable visual fields, whose refractive error was between - 6 and + 5 diopter and who did not have any disease other than glaucoma that would affect the visual field, were included in the study. Clinical and demographic characteristics, visual field, optical coherence tomography and lamina cribrosa curvature index (LCCI) results were evaluated.
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes that can lead to progressive vision loss. Regular surveillance with fundal photography, early diagnosis, and prompt intervention are paramount to reducing the incidence of DR-induced vision loss. However, manual interpretation of fundal photographs is subject to human error.

Methods: The current study included 20 diabetes mellitus patients with diabetic retinopathy, 20 diabetes mellitus patients without diabetic retinopathy, and 20 healthy control subjects with the same sex and age characteristics. Aqueous humor and serum cortistatin, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobinA1c, 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, blood lipid profiles, and body mass index were measured in all subjects.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical characteristics, including spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings, of pediatric-onset Behçet's disease (PBD) patients.
Methods: Medical records of 23 PBD (15 males and 8 females) and 24 (15 males and 9 females) healthy subjects were evaluated retrospectively. The main outcomes were compared between PBD patients, with and without ocular involvement, and healthy subjects.
Purpose: To investigate the association of Behçet disease activity with serum and tear interleukin-2 levels.
Methods: The study was designed as a prospective case control study. The study population consisted of 45 patients with Behçet disease and 24 age and sex-matched healthy participants.
