Evaluation of macular choroidal and microvascular network changes by activity scores and serum antibodies in thyroid eye patients and healthy subjects.

Aim: To investigate the choroidal thickness and the microvascular network changes around the macula in thyroid eye disease (TED) patients at different stages and the relationship of those changes with risk factors, serum antibodies and the severity of TED.

Methods: A total of 85 participants were enrolled. All participants underwent ophthalmology and endocrinology examinations.

Anterior segment complications after dexamethasone implantations:real world data.

Purpose: We aim to contribute to the literature in terms of treatment safety with our real world data by examining the anterior segment complications and follow-up results of patients who underwent dexamethasone implants in our clinic.

Methods: The records of patients treated with at least one intravitreal dexamethasone implant for various retinal diseases: diabetic macular edema (265 eyes), central retinal vein occlusion (45 eyes), retinal vein branch occlusion (91 eyes), postoperative cystoid macular edema (18 eyes), non-infectious uveitis (37 eyes) and other (14 eyes) between July 2013 and April 2020 were reviewed.

Results: After 925 injections were applied to 470 eyes of a total of 383 patients, the eyes were controlled during a mean follow-up of 24 months.

Outcomes after bilateral implantation of AcrySof IQ PanOptix trifocal intraocular lens: a prospective interventional study.

Background: Implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) is becoming increasingly popular for the treatment of visual demands at various distances in patients undergoing phacoemulsification cataract surgery. We aimed to assess the visual performance and rates of photic phenomena, posterior capsule opacification (PCO), and spectacle independence in patients with bilateral implantation of the AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® multifocal IOL model TFNT00 at one and six months postoperatively.

Methods: This prospective interventional cohort study included adult patients who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® IOL.

Changes in TRPV1 Expression as Well as Substance P and Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Levels Are Associated with Recurrence of Pterygium.

Pterygium, a disease of the ocular surface, is characterized by the proliferation and invasion of fibrovascular tissue. Chronic inflammation contributes to pterygium occurrence. Sensory neuropeptides of TRPV1-positive nerve fibers are involved in inflammation and corneal wound healing.

Fungal keratitis caused by Scedosporium apiospermum: a case report.

Background: We present a case of fungal keratitis caused by Scedosporium apiospermum, which is a rare agent. Case description A 34-year-old Caucasian male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of pain and blurred vision in the left eye. The patient had a history of wearing contact lenses for 3 years.

Changes in retinal vessel and retinal layer thickness after cross-linking in keratoconus via swept-source OCT angiography.

Purpose: To analyze the postoperative foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP) vascular densities (VD), and retinal layers after cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus treatment.

Methods: Twenty-seven eyes with cross-linking treatment for keratoconus were included in the study. Foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, SCP VD, DCP VD, and retinal layers were evaluated by using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5% and Topical Dexamethasone 1% in Post-Vitrectomy Inflammation.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of postoperative topical loteprednol etabonate (LE) 0.5% with dexamethasone (DEX) 0.1% for the treatment of inflammation following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).
