To assess the clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with spontaneous consecutive exotropia (ScXT) in children diagnosed refractive accommodative esotropia (RAET). A retrospective analysis of medical records was conducted on 19 patients who demonstrated a transition from RAET to (XT). Patients received strabismus surgery or botulinum toxin injection were excluded study. The control group consisted 31 age-matched successful optical alignment at both near distance....

Purpose To report our experience with 0.05%–2% topical cyclosporine in the treatment of 4 cases severe, corticosteroid-resistant, vernal keratoconjunctivitis shield ulcers. Methods Four patients ulcers not responding to medical steroids, antihistamines, and mast-cell stabilizers were treated cyclosporine. The frequency application was times daily all cases, concentration adjusted according clinical status starting 2%. Results Healing no epithelial defect occurred 10 days 2% cases....

To evaluate the relationship of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome with pseudoexfoliation, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and alpha-1 adrenergic blocker (A1AB) use.Five hundred patients were included in this prospective study. Intraoperative adverse events, such as pupillary constriction, billowing, prolapse from wound, noted. Multinomial regression analysis was used to pupil diameter, A1AB use.Pupil constriction significantly associated pseudoexfoliation (P < .001). Diabetes mellitus...

To investigate the histopathological results of lacrimal sac biopsies in patients with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction.In this prospective non-comparative study, 205 consecutive patients, who were diagnosed as obstruction, included. Patients history trauma and/ or surgery periorbital area, punctum canalicular obstruction excluded from study. evaluated for age, gender, history, and presenting symptoms. Lacrimal drainage system abnormalities assessed. irrigation,...

To evaluate histopathologic and clinical response to silicone plug insertion in dry eye patients.Punctal plugs were placed 32 eyes of 18 patients with aqueous deficiency who on maximum medical therapy had Schirmer testing topical anesthetic measuring less than 5 mm. Pre-treatment post-treatment (6 weeks 1 year) evaluations included temporal inferior quadrant impression cytology examinations, Schirmer-1, BUT, corneal fluorescein rose-bengal staining patterns questionnaire scores. The samples...

Strabismus surgery is one of the most common ophthalmic surgical procedures in children and associated with significant postoperative nausea vomiting (PONV).We evaluated effect intravenous paracetamol on PONV after strabismus surgery.Prospective, placebo-controlled, randomised double-blind study.University hospital.Ninety children, between 2 14 years scheduled for surgery, were recruited. Eighty-six completed study.After induction anaesthesia, dexamethasone 0.1 mg kg was administered to all....

Cranial nerve involvement in brucellosis is rare. We present a case of presenting with optic neuritis and abducens palsy on the left side. Cerebrospinal fluid findings indicated Brucella meningitis high protein count, low sugar level pleocystosis. In addition, agglutination test (Wright test) was found to be 1/128 cerebrospinal fluid. Serum for also positive at 1/1280. This diagnosed as involving nerves. The patient treated by ceftriaxone (intravenous), rifampicin (orally) doxycycline...

Background/aim: To compare the central corneal thickness (CCT) of type II diabetes mellitus patients with age- and sex-matched healthy subjects to determine association severity diabetic retinopathy CCT. Materials methods: Type without retinopathy, nonproliferative proliferative were organized as three subgroups study group, an control group was formed. All underwent full ophthalmological examination CCT measurement ultrasonographic pachymetry. values compared between subgroups. Correlation...

To investigate the effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on postmenopausal tear function and conjunctival epithelium.Schirmer I-Jones test, film break-up time (BUT), impression cytology findings were analyzed in 34 eyes 17 women who at least two years not taking HRT: This series tests was repeated after three months HRT.The patients' average age 53.82 +/- 3.6 years, mean postmenopause 35.29 11.59 months. There no significant difference Schirmer test results before HRT (p > 0.05)....

Purpose. To investigate the visual field with FASTPAC 30-2 program before and after hemodialysis in patients end stage renal disease. Materials methods. Twenty eyes of 20 on regular were included study group. healthy chosen as control Intraocular pressures (IOP) measured one hour same session, was tested at times. Results. When IOP compared hemodialysis, no statistically significant difference found (p > 0.05), however Mean Deviation (MD) = 0.008) improved hemodialysis. we first global...

To investigate the effects of central corneal thickness (CCT) on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements Pascal dynamic contour tonometry (DCT), Canon TX-10 non-contact (NCT) and Goldmann applanation (GAT) in healthy subjects.IOP values 135 eyes with normal corneas volunteers were determined by DCT, NCT GAT. The CCT was measured using an ultrasonic pachymeter after all IOP determinations had been made.When DCT compared (IOP = 17.52 +/- 2.0 mmHg) 16.54 2.77 GAT 15.07 2.35 mmHg), significantly...

The aim of this study was to determine the frequency target organ damage (TOD) and beneficial properties ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) for detecting patients who are at high risk TOD cardiovascular disease in never treated mild-to-moderate hypertension. Sixty-seven (28 males 39 females, mean age, 49.6 +/- 9.5 years) were divided into two groups, dippers (group I, n = 43) nondippers II, 24), according nocturnal (BP) reduction less than 10%. groups compared with respect...

To assess accumulation of p53 protein in samples primary pterygium from people living two different climatic regions Turkey.Group 1 included 101 specimens Adana located southern Turkey. Group 2 39 Ankara, the middle Climatic conditions throughout year are sunnier and warmer than they Ankara. The control group (Group 3) 30 conjunctiva that had been excised during cataract surgery patients without pterygium. pterygial were studied by immunohistochemistry using antibodies against protein....

We report a rare presentation of brucellosis as bilateral optic nerve and right abducent involvement, endocarditis complicated by premacular hemorrhage in 28-year-old white female. The patient showed improvement with both medical surgical therapy. Brucellosis should be considered the differential diagnosis papillitis, gaze palsy endemic regions.
