Methods: All patients who visited the Emergency Service of the Ahi Evran University Research and Training Hospital between 1 March 2018 and 31 March 2019 with complaints of corneal foreign bodies were examined based on their number of visits in the last one year, daily hours of work, duration of working in years, time of working without a break and age. While corneal foreign body traumas for up to 3 times in the last one year were included in one group, those that were experienced for 4 times or more frequently were included in the other group. Results: 140 male patients were included in the study. While 67 of the participants were included in the group of patients with corneal for...

Material and methods: 34 eyes of 34 patients pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) and 32 eyes of 20 patient Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED) have been examined by Scheimpflug camera combined with a Placido disk corneal topographer. Anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), iridocorneal angle (ICA), central corneal thickness (CCT) and LogMAR best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were compared in terms. Except for corneal edema, diseases of the eye that can impair vision (cataracts, glaucoma, retinal disease) were excluded. Results: The average age of patients in group PBK and FED were found 64.9 ± 13.9 and 66.06 ± 10.5 respectively. ACD, ACV, ICA, CCT and BCVA in PBK group 2.95 ± 0.48 mm, 202.55 ± 115.20 mm3 , 40.73 ± 10.44 derece, 742.41 ± 108.74 m and 2.06 ± 0.70 LogMAR respectively. ACD,...

Kornea epitel defektinden kornea delinmesine uzanan çeşitli oküler bulgular bu hastalıkla ilişkilidir (1). Kuru göz hastalığı en sık görülen göz hastalıklarından biridir. Yapılan toplum temelli prevalans çalışmalarında oranlar farklılık göstermekte olup %5 ile %35 arasında değişmektedir (2). Hastalık kadın cinsiyet, yaşlılar ve Asya ırkına mensup bireylerde daha sık gözlenmektedir (3-5). Etyopatogenezinde; hormonal değişimler, sigara kullanımı, oküler cerrahi, ilaç kullanımı, allerjenler, düşük nem düzeyi, yüksek oda sıcaklığı ve kontakt lens kullanımının rol oynadığı bildirilmiştir (5). Hastalıkla ilişkili oküler rahatsızlık, yabancı cisim hissi ve ağrı semptomlarının bireyin yaşam kalitesini olumsuz olarak etkilediği ve ruh sağlığı ile ilgili problemleri beraberinde getirdiği

METHODS Totally 41 anxiety patients (8-16y) and 35 healthy controls (age-matched) were evaluated. Complete ophthalmic examination was performed. Inclusion criteria were best corrected visual acuity ≥20/20, normal intraocular pressure (IOP; 10-21 mm Hg), and no systemic or ocular diseases according to history. The diagnosis of psychiatric disorders was determined using Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Aged Children Present-Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) was used to measure the central ChT. RESULTS The mean age was 12.18±3.24y in the patient group and 12.86±3.15y in the control group. Age and gender distribution of the two groups was similar. Central ChT mean value was 353.26±31.9 µm in anxiety patients while 318.75±60.9 µm in the control group. Mean central ChT was statistically significantly...

Methods: 60 eyes of 30 children and adolescents with allergic conjunctivitis and 60 eyes of 30 healthy controls participated in the study. Inclusion criteria for patient groups were best-corrected visual acuity 20/20 or better, normal intraocular pressure (IOP) and no systemic or ocular diseases other than allergic conjunctivitis. Healthy controls recruited from children and adolescents who had no ocular or chronic systemic disorders and had best-corrected visual acuity 20/20 or better and normal IOP. ChT was measuredby using Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography (EDI-OCT) before and after treatment by antihistamine agents. Results: Subfoveal choroidal thicknes mean value was 364.1 ± 63.8 mm in the allergic conjunctivitis group and the first-month values after the treatment were 333.5 ± 52.1 mm. Subfoveal choroidal thickness means value in the control group was 320.6 ± 80.9 mm. There was a statistically significant decrease in ChT after treatment of allergic conjunctivitis patients and there was a significant difference in terms of baseline ChT values between the allergic conjunctivitis group and the control group. There was no significant difference between one month after treatment values and the mean values of the control group. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that ChT can increase in allergic conjunctivitis patients and can become normal again with topical antihistamine treatment. In order to support choroidal thickness to be a marker for the diagnosis and follow-up of allergic conjunctivitis, further studies with larger samples and longitudinal studies are needed.
