Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the morphological changes in meibomian glands in keratoconus patients using scleral contact lenses and compare them with keratoconus and healthy controls.

Methods: The study included 34 eyes of 20 patients who were wearing scleral contact lenses due to keratoconus, as well as 31 age- and sex-matched keratoconus controls and 31 healthy controls. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy, non-invasive tear film break-up time assessment, Schirmer I test, meibography, and corneal staining with fluorescein were performed.

Purpose: Investigate the most appropriate mathematical formula to objectively express upper eyelid contour symmetry.

Methods: 62 eyes of 31 patients were included in the study. The upper eyelid contour symmetry of the patients was classified subjectively (independent of MRD1) as poor, acceptable, and good by three oculoplastic specialists (senior, expert, and junior surgeon).

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements from four different tonometers in both glaucomatous and healthy eyes, while also examining how central corneal thickness (CCT) affects these measurements.
  • One hundred glaucoma patients and 50 healthy individuals participated, with IOP measured using non-contact tonometry (NCT), tono-pen (TP), dynamic contour tonometer (DCT), and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), alongside CCT assessment through ultrasonic pachymetry.
  • Results showed that NCT had a strong correlation with GAT in measuring IOP, suggesting that NCT can be a reliable alternative to GAT for clinical use.

Aim: To reveal the changes of corneal endothelial characteristics with aging among Caucasian population.

Methods: Non-contact specular microscopy was performed in 564 eyes of 282 healthy Caucasian Turkish patients. Endothelial cell density (MCD), mean cell area (MCA), coefficient of variation (CV) in cell size, percentage of hexagonal cells, and central corneal thickness (CCT) were measured.
