Background: To evaluate anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) data in patients with unilateral blunt ocular trauma (BOT), to determine the relationship of results with hyphema development.
Methods: 21 patients who received unilateral BOT were included in the study. Healthy eyes of patients were included in the control group. Iris stromal thickness (IST), schlemm canal area (SCA) and pupil diameter were measured by AS-OCT of the participants. In addition, eyes with ocular trauma were divided into those with and without hyphema and compared in terms of these parameters.
Results: The mean nasal and temporal (n-t) IST was measured as 373± 40 µm and 369 ± 35 µm in BOT in comparison with 344 ± 35 µm and 335 ± 36 µm in control eyes, respectively (p = 0.000 and p = 0.001, respectively). The mean nasal and temporal (n-t) SCA was measured as 12,571 ± 880 µm and 12,162 ± 1181 µm in developed hyphema in comparison with 10,455 ± 1506 µm and 10,188 ± 939 µm in did not develop hyphema, respectively (p = 0.016 and p = 0.002 respectively).
Conclusion: The ISTs of the traumatized eyes in the nasal and temporal quadrants were statistically thicker than the other healthy eyes. SCA in both nasal and temporal quadrants of eyes with hyphema was statistically significantly larger than the group without hyphema.

Respiratory symptoms after coalmine fire and pandemic: A longitudinal analysis of the Hazelwood Health Study adult cohort.
PLOS Glob Public Health

The aim of this study was to determine whether the effects of extreme but discrete PM2.5 exposure from a coal mine fire on respiratory symptoms abated, persisted, or worsened over time, and whether they were exacerbated by COVID-19. We analysed longitudinal survey data from a cohort residing near a 2014 coalmine fire in regional Australia.

This effect seems to be more noticeable in eyes with narrow angles (NAs) than in eyes with open angles (OAs). Decrease in IOP may be a result of the increase in anterior chamber angle (ACA) and Schlemm canal (SC) after cataract surgery.

Objectives: To evaluate scleral thickness of patients with keratoconus by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
Materials And Methods: Fifty-two eyes of 42 patients with keratoconus (group 1) and 42 right eyes of 42 healthy individuals (group 2) were included. Scleral thickness measurements were taken with AS-OCT 6, 4, and 2 mm behind the scleral spur in four gaze positions: superior, inferior, temporal, and nasal.
Axial length to corneal curvature radius ratio is negatively correlated with choroidal blood flow in myopic children.

Background: The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying early-onset myopia remain unclear; in this study, we investigate the pathogenesis by examining the interrelationships between axial length to corneal curvature radius ratio ( ) and choroidal blood flow.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 202 eyes from myopic children, categorized into 141 eyes with mild myopia, 47 eyes with moderate myopia, and 14 eyes with high myopia. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was used to measure choroidal blood flow perfusion within a 6 mm × 6 mm area of the macular region, divided into nine subareas based on ETDRS partitioning: macular fovea, nasal side 1, superior 1, temporal side 1, inferior 1, nasal side 2, superior 2, temporal side 2, and inferior 2.
Effects of tropicamide and compound tropicamide eye drops on ocular biological parameters and choroid thickness in children.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of short-acting cycloplegic agents, tropicamide and compound tropicamide, on ocular biological parameters and choroid thickness.
Methods: In this study, seventy pediatric subjects aged 6 to 13 years were randomly assigned to two groups: the tropicamide group and compound tropicamide group. Ocular biological parameters and choroidal thickness (CT) and subfoveal choroid thickness (SFCT) were measured in both groups and were retested 40 min after drug administration.
