Decrease of over-elevation in adduction after surgery of medial rectus muscles in partially refractive accommodative esotropia.

Significance: The course of over-elevation in adduction after strabismus surgery has been evaluated in a small number of research in the literature, we believe our study is the first to report the results in a specific group of esotropia (ET) patients.

Aim: To report the course of postoperative over-elevation in adduction in patients who underwent surgery for horizontal deviation on the medial recti in partially accommodative ET.

Methods: The medical charts of patients who had partially accommodative ET with over-elevation in adduction were reviewed retrospectively.

Sequential tissue plasminogen activator, pneumatic displacement, and anti-VEGF treatment for submacular hemorrhage.

Purpose: To report the results of our sequential intravitreal (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), pneumatic displacement (PD), and IV anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD)-related submacular hemorrhage (SMH).

Methods: A total of 16 eyes of 16 patients with SMH of less than 15 days duration were included in this retrospective pilot study. The tPA was applied on the day of diagnosis, and PD was performed the following day.

Next-generation sequencing analysis of the ARMS2 gene in Turkish exudative age-related macular degeneration patients.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in developed countries. It is a complex disease with both genetic and environmental risk factors. To improve clinical management of this condition, it is important to develop risk assessment and prevention strategies for environmental influences, and establish a more effective treatment approach.

Effect of ARMS2 gene polymorphism on intravitreal ranibizumab treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness in developed countries. The ARMS2 gene has been found to be associated with AMD. Currently, intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) treatment is one of the widely used treatments for neovascular AMD.

Analysis of ELOVL4 and PRPH2 genes in Turkish Stargardt disease patients.

Stargardt disease (STGD) is an inherited genetic eye condition involving bilateral macular dystrophy leading to progressive central vision loss. It is the most common form of autosomal recessive juvenile macular dystrophy. In this study, ELOVL4 and PRPH2 genes were analyzed in 30 STGD probands for genetic variations using next-generation sequencing.
