Choroidal vascularity index in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Background: There is growing evidence supporting an association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and systemic vascular disorders. However, the data on choroidal microvasculature are limited. In recent years, choroidal thickness (CT) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) have been of considerable interest as objective markers of choroidal vascularity.

Methods: In this prospective study, 149 eyes of 149 children were enrolled. The participants also completed the Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) questionnaire and provided information regarding weekly hours spent in front of a digital screen.

Factors effecting the choroidal vascularity index in children with mild to moderate myopia.

Purpose: To measure the choroidal structural parameters in a population of myopic children and determine the factors effecting the choroidal vascularity index (CVI).

Methods: In total, 200 eyes of 200 children (100 females, 100 males) with a mean age of 11.5 ± 1.

Short-term effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor on retinal vessel diameter in patients with systemic hypertension.

Purpose: To determine the retinal vessel diameter changes after angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor treatment in a group of hypertensive patients.

Methods: This study included 60 treatment-naive hypertensive patients who were treated with ACE inhibitor. Sixty healthy volunteers served as control group.

Short-term effect of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor on choroidal vascularity.

Purpose: To determine the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors on choroidal vascularity using the binarization method in a group of treatment-naïve hypertensive patients.

Methods: There were 48 treatment-naive hypertensive patients who were diagnosed according to the "2013 European Society of Hypertension/European Society of Cardiology" guideline and started angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor perindopril (Coversyl) in the study. As a control group, 48 healthy volunteers were randomly selected among people who attended the outpatient clinic for routine ophthalmological examination.

Choroidal vascularity index and retinal nerve fiber layer reflectivity in newly diagnosed migraine patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the choroidal structural parameters, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, and optic density index (ODI) and their correlations in patients with migraine.

Methods: Twenty-eight newly diagnosed migraine patients and 28 age-matched healthy controls were included in this prospective cross-sectional study. The enhanced depth-optical coherence tomography images were evaluated.

Choroidal structural changes and choroidal vascularity index in patients with systemic hypertension.

Purpose: To assess the impact of systemic hypertension on the choroidal structure and choroidal vascularity index (CVI).

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study comprised 50 eyes of 50 treatment-naive hypertensive patients and 50 eyes of 50 healthy subjects. Choroidal thickness (CT) was measured in the subfoveal region, 1500 µm nasal to the fovea, and 1500 µm temporal to the fovea.

Macular ganglion cell complex changes in eyes treated with aflibercept for neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Background: To evaluate the effect of intravitreal aflibercept injection on macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Methods: In total, 36 eyes of 36 treatment-naïve patients with nAMD (18 female and 18 male) and 36 eyes of 36 healthy subjects (20 female and 16 male) as controls were included in this retrospective study. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images were evaluated after each injection for 3 months and at 12 months.
