Purpose: To assess the anatomical and functional outcomes in patients who underwent surgery for canalicular laceration and did not experience significant epiphora, and to compare these outcomes with contralateral uninjured eye.

Method: Dacryoscintigraphy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT), MUNK scores, and a satisfaction questionnaire were administered to 24 patients who had canalicular laceration repair without significant epiphora and had a minimum of 6 months of follow-up. Tear meniscus height (TMH), depth (TMD), and area (TMA) were measured using anterior segment OCT and compared with the values in the uninjured eye.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the forms of ocular and adnexal injuries and to examine the treatment modalities applied after two major earthquakes in Turkey on February 6, 2023.

Methods: Following the earthquakes, the medical records of 34 patients admitted with emergency ophthalmic complaints to Hatay Training and Research Field Hospital and Etlik City Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Of these patients, 35 eyes of 34 individuals diagnosed with earthquake-related ocular and adnexal injuries were included in the study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive factors for evisceration or enucleation surgery after open globe injury (OGI) and to investigate the effectiveness of the ocular trauma score (OTS) in predicting the outcome.

Method: Data from 380 patients who underwent OGI repair were retrospectively analyzed. The eyes of 31 patients who underwent evisceration or enucleation after OGI repair and who were followed up for at least 6 months were included in the study.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term functional outcomes of canalicular laceration repair using the Masterka® monocanalicular intubation system.

Methods: this interventional case series included the data from 30 patients who underwent canalicular laceration repair with a 30-mm pushed monocanalicular stent (Masterka®) and suturing of the lacerated canaliculus with 8/0 Vicryl interrupted sutures. Operative details and complications were meticulously noted.
