Ophthalmic findings in Behcet׳s disease: Cases without apparent ocular signs.

Purpose: To evaluate the fluorescein angiography and infrared autofluorescence finding in patients with confirmed Behcet׳s disease (BD) but without clinical ocular signs.

Methods: In this prospective, non-interventional case series, montage fluorescein angiography (MFA) and infrared autofluorescence imaging were performed for all patients with confirmed BD but without ocular signs in clinical examination.

Results: Fifty BD patients (100 eyes) without clinical ocular manifestations were investigated.

The impact of macular laser photocoagulation on contrast sensitivity function in patients with clinically significant macular edema.

Background: Contrast sensitivity is an important aspect of visual function and is even more important for ordinary daily tasks than visual acuity. Contrast sensitivity function may be deteriorated to a significant level in diabetic retinopathy, especially in diabetic macular edema. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of macular laser photocoagulation-as the standard treatment of clinically significant macular edema-on contrast sensitivity function.
