After bilateral implantation of an angle-supported anterior chamber intraocular lens (AC IOL) in an allergic patient, the haptic tips were exposed through the limbus in the left eye. Endophthalmitis developed in the eye and was treated by pars plana vitrectomy, IOL extraction, and intravitreal antibiotic injection. Haptic repositioning was performed in the right eye. In this report, we assess the possibility that exposure of the angle-supported AC IOL haptics caused the endophthalmitis. We hypothesized that vigorous rubbing of the eye of the atopic patient might cause limbal erosion that could lead to exposure of the angle-supported AC IOL haptic through the limbus.

The effect of retinopathy of prematurity on visual acuity, refraction, biometric values, retinal and choroidal thickness in school-aged children.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the long-term effects of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) on visual function and ocular anatomy. We compared biometric values, foveal thickness, and choroidal thickness among children with a history of ROP (stratified by treatment status), premature infants without ROP, and term-born children.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between september 2021 and february 2022 at the Ophthalmology Department of Ankara Bilkent City Hospital.

Background: The development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is influenced by risk factors that contribute to inflammatory processes, cellular stress responses, and a dysregulation of the complement system. Given the incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis of AMD and the necessity for novel therapeutics, biomarker studies investigating aqueous humour from the anterior chamber of the eye serve as a valuable tool. This pilot study aimed to assess inflammatory mediators and complement components in aqueous humour of non-exudative AMD patients in comparison with a control group.

Background: This study evaluated the agreement of the ocular parameters obtained with the two optical biometers, the IOLMaster 700 and the Galilei G6 Lens Professional.
Patients And Methods: A comparative prospective study was conducted on 159 eyes of 91 adult patients using the IOLMaster 700 and Galilei G6 devices by a single examiner. Agreement between ocular biometric parameters: white-to-white (WTW) distance, keratometry (flat (K1) and steep (K2), mean (Km)) of anterior, posterior, and total corneal surfaces, central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and axial length (AL) were assessed using Bland-Altman analysis.

Background/objectives: We aimed to investigate the potential of anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) in differentiating anterior chamber (AC) pigment and inflammatory cells.
Subject/methods: Cross-sectional study of adults with uveitis. The exclusion criterion was corneal opacity sufficient to obscure slit lamp examination of the anterior chamber.

Purpose: To report our flicker electroretinographic (ERG) findings in a patient who developed uveitis after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for a metastatic malignant melanoma.
Methods: ERGs were used to monitor retinal physiology in a patient with ocular complications following systemic ICI administration. Flicker ERGs were recorded using the RETeval system before and after the ICI treatments.
