Objective: This study aimed to investigate the ocular surface and symptoms of dry eye in individuals who wear face masks on a daily basis. Methods: prospective evaluated 52 right eyes subjects (26 men, 26 women) routinely wore for at least 8 hrs day. Mean age was 30.48±6.01 years. All patients were assessed with Schirmer-1 test, Tear Break-up Time (TBUT), Oxford staining grade, Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) initial clinical admission (T1), after mask use (T2), 15 days greater than open...

To compare anterior chamber depth (ACD) changes after phacoemulsification surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) and normal using an segment imaging method. Another aim of this study was to evaluate the effect these on accuracy intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation postoperative refraction.Twenty-two eyes 22 PEX 30 who underwent uneventful IOL implantation were included study. The ACD all evaluated preoperatively at 3 months postoperatively ALLEGRO Oculyzer (WaveLight®...

Purpose: This study aims to assess choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and thickness (CT) in patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) compare them healthy control subjects.Methods: retrospective cross-sectional includes 43 DM age/gender-matched subjects as the group. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT; Spectralis, Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) images of all participants were analyzed. CT measurements five different points (subfoveal,...

Purpose: This study aims to compare subfoveal choroidal thicknesses (SFCTs) after intravitreal dexamethasone (IVD) or aflibercept (IVA) treatment in patients with persistent diabetic macular edema (DME) unresponsive ranibizumab (IVR). Methods: The consisted of DME IVR which 37 were administered 1 dose IVD (group A) and 34 who 3 doses IVA B), as well 35 healthy individuals C). Detailed ophthalmological examination optical coherence tomography parameters group A B, including central retinal...

This study aimed to identify the prognostic factors regarding visual and anatomic outcomes of eyes with posterior segment intraocular foreign body (PS-IOFB).

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate changes in subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), vascularity index (CVI), estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and intraocular (IOP) after renal transplantation.Materials Methods: A total of 49 transplantation patients were included this prospective study.CVI SFCT on enhanced-depth imaging optic coherence tomography (EDI-OCT), MAP at the cubital fossa, GFR, IOP measured preoperatively postoperative 1 week month.In...

This study aimed to evaluate choroidal thickness (CT) and vascularity index (CVI) in patients with Graves' disease (GD) without ocular involvement.Fifty diagnosed GD 50 age gender matched healthy control subjects were retrospectively evaluated. Measurements taken from five different points on CT images. Choroid images classified as lumen regions (LA) stromal (SA) using the image binarization method. CVI was calculated by dividing LA total area (TCA). The effects of Thyrotropin Receptor...

To evaluate the macular vessel density (VD) in inactive ocular sarcoidosis (OS) and investigate relationship between VD both disease duration visual acuity (VA).This cross-sectional study was performed at a tertiary hospital. The VDs of patients with OS were obtained using optical coherence tomography angiography compared healthy subjects.Deep whole image (WI-MVD), parafoveal, perifoveal lower group (p = .01, p .02, respectively). Negative correlation superficial deep WI-MVD, (for all <...

Objectives To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of macular ganglion cell complex-to-total retinal thickness (G/T) ratio in a Caucasian population. Materials and methods A total 86 patients were enrolled this cross-sectional study. Patients divided into 4 groups: healthy; ocular hypertension; preperimetric glaucoma; early glaucoma. Macular complex (mGCC) thickness, nerve fiber layer (RNFLT) one randomly selected eye each patient measured with Heidelberg HD spectral domain optical coherence...

This study aims to compare the cytotoxic, apoptotic, and oxidative effects of a new cationic disinfectant, Akacid Plus, with chlorhexidine, on human corneal epithelial cell line.

Aim: The retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and the choroidal are compared to healthy volunteers in vitiligo patients. Materials Methods: study included right eyes of 60 individuals generalized Following routine ophthalmological examination, RNFL were analyzed with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Results: It was determined that mean macular decreased significantly patients, while did not change (p<0.05). Conclusion: As fact does despite reduced patients may...

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the changes in postoperative ocular biometric parameters end-stage renal disease patients who underwent transplantation. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 33 were included. Ocular measurements including axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), keratometry (K1 K2), degree astigmatism, lens (LT), intraocular pressure (IOP) evaluated. Refractive prediction error (RE) for potential cataract...

Abstract Purpose: This study aims to compare the cytotoxic, apoptotic, and oxidative effects of preserved preservative-free forms brimonidine 0.15% on human corneal epithelial cell (HCEC) line. Methods: Time-dependent cytotoxicity studies were performed at 5 15 minute 1, 6, 24 hour with Alamar Blue method in HCEC treated test solutions. For apoptotic studies, Annexin-V 7-AAD staining flow cytometry was used. To support this, mRNA expressions protein BAX, BCL-2, caspase-3, -9, -12, which are...
