Evaluating anterior segment stability and corneal endothelium after prolene gonioscopy assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in open-angle glaucoma.

Introduction: This study investigates the short-term effects of prolene gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) on anterior segment parameters and corneal endothelium in patients with open-angle glaucoma.

Methods: This retrospective study included 30 eyes from 30 patients who underwent GATT surgery. Demographic data, ophthalmological examination findings, and intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements using a Goldman applanation tonometer were recorded.

Choroidal macrovascular and capillary alterations in eyes with idiopathic epiretinal membranes.

Purpose: To evaluate the choroidal vascular alterations and effect of surgical treatment in the setting of idiopathic epiretinal membranes.

Methods: The structure of the choroid was studied in 33 patients with unilateral idiopathic epiretinal membrane using optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging and optical coherence tomography angiography. Eyes with epiretinal membrane underwent 25-gauge vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane peeling.

Evaluation of Central and Peripheral Retinal Vascular Changes in the Fellow Eyes of Patients with Unilateral Retinal Vein Occlusions.

Objectives: To evaluate the subtle peripheral retinal and macular vascular changes in the fellow eyes of patients with unilateral retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 53 patients with unilateral RVO and 44 age-matched controls. The frequency of peripheral retinal vascular pathologies in both eyes was evaluated using high quality ultra-wide field fluorescein angiography (UWFFA).

Iontophoresis Corneal Cross-linking With Oxygen Supplementation in Ovine Eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate the biomechanical changes and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) production after different corneal cross-linking (CXL) protocols with or without oxygen supplementation.

Methods: Ovine eyes in the study were equally distributed to five groups as control, standard Dresden protocol, diluted alcohol- and iontophoresis-assisted CXL (DAI-CXL), and 0.1% and 0.

Clinical characteristics and the treatment modalities of Graves' orbitopathy in a tertiary referral center in Turkey: changes over two decades.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes in demographics, clinical findings, and treatment modalities in Graves' orbitopathy (GO) patients at a tertiary referral center in Turkey over the last two decades.

Methods: The clinical data of 752 GO patients were evaluated retrospectively. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the first ophthalmic examination date; Group 1(n:344) between January 1998 and December 2007 and Group 2(n:408) between January 2008 and December 2017.

Singlet oxygen formation during accelerated and hyperaccelerated corneal cross-linking: in vitro study.

Background: To evaluate the singlet oxygen (O) production of oxygen assisted %0.1 riboflavin and ultraviolet-A (UVA) crosslinking therapy (with and without oxygen assistance), in combination with standard, accelerated and hyper-accelerated procedures via an important quantitive marker of O which is the photo-oxidation of 1,3 diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF).

Methods: %0.

Choroidal vascularity index and choriocapillary changes in retinal vein occlusions.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes in the choroidal structure in the setting of retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Methods: Changes in the structure of the choroid were studied in sixty-four eyes with unilateral central or branch RVO using optical coherence tomography (OCT) with enhanced depth imaging and OCT-angiography (OCT-A). Choroidal vascularity index (CVI), Haller layer/choroidal thickness (H/C) ratio, and choriocapillaris flow density were used to compare the structural characteristics of the choroid with fellow eyes and the eyes of thirty-four age-, gender-, and systemic co-morbidity-matched controls.

Real-life comparison of the viewing angle and the image quality of two commonly used viewing systems for vitreoretinal surgery.

Background/aim: To compare the clinical use, image quality and viewing angle of a commonly used contact wide angle viewing (WAV) system (Advanced Visual Instruments (AVI) Panoramic Imaging Systems, NY, USA) with a commonly used noncontact WAV system (Leica RUV800, Leica Microsystems, Switzerland).

Materials And Methods: Images of 42 consecutively operated eyes were obtained with both systems at the same surgical stages and were compared for image quality using the Imatest Master 4.5.

Effect of Riboflavin/Rose Bengal-Mediated PACK-CXL on Acanthamoeba Trophozoites and Cysts in Vitro.

Purpose: To evaluate the antiamoebic properties of photo-activated chromophore for keratitis (PACK)-corneal cross-linking (CXL) (PACK-CXL), in combination with riboflavin (0.1 and 0.25%) or rose bengal (0.
