- Abstract
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effects of menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on the quality and amount of tear, intraocular pressure (IOP) and retrobulbar blood flow velocities. Patients and Methods: Twenty women aged between 40 and 50 years, free of ocular and systemic diseases and planning to receive HRT were recruited as the study group. Twenty-four healthy, age-matched but still menstruating women were enrolled as controls. On the first day of study basal and reflex Schirmer test, tear break-up time and IOP measurements (at 08.00, 12.00 and 16.00 h) were performed for all groups. On the second day of the study, the peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV) and resistivity index (RI) of the ophthalmic (OA), central retinal (CRA), nasal (NSPCA) and temporal short posterior ciliary (TSPCA) arteries were determined by color Doppler imaging. The menopausal group received HRT for 2 months, when all measurements were repeated for the 15 women who had received HRT on a daily basis. Results: The quality and amount of tear decreased (p < 0.01), IOP (p < 0.01) and RI of the CRA, TPCA and NPCA (p < 0.05) increased in postmenopausal women compared with the control group. After 2 months of HRT, the quality and amount of tear had increased (p < 0.001) and the IOP had decreased (p < 0.001). The PSV of the CRA and TSPCA had decreased (p < 0.05), as had the RI in the CRA (p < 0.001), NSPCA and TSPCA (p < 0.05). Conclusion: We conclude that age-induced changes on quality and amount of tear, IOP and retrobulbar blood flow are intensified by the menopause and that it may be possible to decrease the menopausal effects on these parameters by HRT.Copyright © 2004 S.

- Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the responses of different optical coherence tomography (OCT) patterns of diabetic macular edema (DME) to intravitreal injection therapy., Methods: In this retrospective, comparative, and multicenter study, patients who had previously untreated DME, who received intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) or aflibercept (IVA) and/or steroid treatment with the pro re nata (PRN) treatment regimen after a 3-month loading dose, and had a 12-month follow-up in the MARMASIA Study Group were included. Morphological patterns of DME were divided into four groups based on OCT features diffuse/spongious edema (Group 1), cystoid edema (Group 2), diffuse/spongious edema+subretinal fluid (SRF) (Group 3), and cystoid edema+SRF (Group 4). Changes in central macular thickness (CMT) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at months 3, 6, and 12, and the number of injections at month 12 were compared between the DME groups., Results: 455 eyes of 299 patients were included in the study. The mean baseline BCVAs [Logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (logMAR)] in groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 0.54 ± 0.24, 0.52 ± 0.25, 0.55 ± 0.23, and 0.57 ± 0.27, respectively. There was no significant difference between the baseline mean BCVAs between the groups ( p = .35). The mean BCVAs were significantly improved to 0,47 ± 0,33 in group 1, 0,42 ± 0,33 in group 2, 0,47 ± 0,31 in group 3, and 0,45 ± 0,43 at month 12. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of BCVA change at month 12 ( p = .71). The mean baseline CMTs in groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 387,19 ± 128,19, 447,02 ± 132,39, 449,12 ± 109,24, and 544,19 ± 178,61, respectively. At baseline, the mean CMT was significantly higher in Group 4 than in the other groups ( p = .000). The mean CMTs were significantly decreased to 325,16 ± 97,55, 334,94 ± 115,99, 324,33 ± 79,20, and 332,08 ± 150,40 in four groups at month 12 respectively ( p > .05). The groups had no significant difference in mean CMT at month 12 ( p = .835). The change in CMT was significantly higher in Group 4 than in the other groups at month 12 ( p = .000). The mean number of intravitreal anti-VEGF injections at month 12 was 4.51 ± 1.57 in Group 1, 4.63 ± 1.54 in Group 2, 4.88 ± 1.38 in Group 3, and 5.07 ± 1.49 in Group 4. The mean number of anti-VEGF injections in Group 1 and Group 2 was significantly lower than in Group 4 ( p = 0,014 and p = 0,017)., Conclusions: In real life, there was no significant difference between the DME groups in terms of visual improvement at month 12. However, better anatomical improvement was achieved in Group 4 than in the other DME groups.

- Abstract
Purpose: This cross-sectional optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) study aimed to assess the macular and optic nerve head (ONH) vascular density, foveal avascular zone, and outer retina and choriocapillaris flow in oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (oJIA)., Study Design: Prospective., Methods: Twenty-two eyes of 22 oJIA patients with uveitis (oJIA-U), 20 eyes of 20 oJIA patients without uveitis (isolated oJIA), and 26 healthy volunteers of similar ages and sexes were investigated. The superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP), ONH, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters, the flow area of the outer retina, and choriocapillaris were evaluated., Results: Compared with the control group, both the oJIA-U group and isolated oJIA group showed significantly decreased vessel density of parafovea (p = 0.031 and p = 0.047, respectively) in DCP. Choriocapillaris flow area at 1 mm radius was significantly lower in the oJIA-U group compared to the control group (p = 0.001). Choriocapillaris flow area at 2- and 3-mm radius were significantly lower in the oJIA-U group compared to the control group (p < 0.001, for both) and isolated oJIA-U group compared to the control group (p = 0.008 and p = 0.001, respectively). The VD and thickness parameters of SCP and ONH, FAZ, and outer retina flow area were similar between the groups., Conclusions: oJIA patients with and without uveitis revealed a decreased vessel density in the deep parafoveal region and choriocapillaris flow. Our findings suggest that retinal choroidal microvascular changes could be evident in oJIA-U patients without posterior segment involvement as well as oJIA patients without uveitis., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Background: To assess vessel density (VD) and flow of retinal plexuses and peripapillary region related with the pediatric radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) and multiple sclerosis (MS)., Methods: We analyzed 24 eyes of 12 participants with the diagnosis of RIS, 24 eyes of 12 participants with the diagnosis of MS, and 26 eyes of 13 age- and sex-matched healthy controls in this prospective, cross-sectional study. The superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus, foveal avascular zone, and the flow of choriocapillaris were investigated using optical coherence tomography angiography., Results: Parafoveal VD and all subregion parameters in SCP were significantly decreased in the MS group compared with the controls, whereas only nasal and inferior VD were significantly decreased in the pediatric RIS group compared with the controls. Ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness of all subregions of the inner ring was significantly decreased in the pediatric MS group compared with the control group. No significant difference was observed between the pediatric RIS group and the control group regarding thickness., Conclusions: We showed lower parafoveal VD in all subregions of SCP in pediatric MS, whereas only parafoveal nasal and inferior VD were decreased in pediatric RIS. GCL thickness of inner ring was significantly decreased in the pediatric MS, whereas GCL thickness did not change in pediatric RIS. Therefore, a decrease of parafoveal nasal and inferior VD without a decrease in thickness implies an early impairment of microvasculature in the RIS before impairment of thickness and that microvascular alterations begin from highly vascular superficial parafovea., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare that are relevant to the content of this article., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Thrombotic events associated with SARS-CoV-2 at the vascular endothelium still remains unclear. The aim of the current study is to determine the relationship between cellular proteins on the (ocular) vascular endothelial surface and the immune thrombotic and/or endotheliopathy process elicited by SARS-CoV-2 using an in-silico modeling. The structural S (spike glycoprotein), N (nucleocapsid protein), M (membrane protein), and E (envelope protein) proteins, an accessory protein (ORF1ab) of SARS-CoV-2 and 158 cellular proteins associated with retinal vascular endothelial cell surface or structure were included in this study for comparison of three-dimensional (3D) structure and sequence. Sixty-nine of the retinal proteins were obtained from the Uniprot database. Remaining proteins not included in the database were included in the study after they were converted into 3D structures using the RaptorX web tool. Sequence and three-dimensional structure of SARS-COV-2 S, N, M, E, ORF1ab proteins and retinal vascular endothelial proteins were compared with mTM-align server. Proteins with significant similarity (score above 0.5) were validated with the TM-align web server. Immune and thrombosis-related protein-receptor interactions of similar proteins was checked with CABS-dock. We detected a high level of structural similarity between E protein and ACE, ACE2, LAT1, and TM9SF4 endothelial proteins. In addition, PECAM-1 was found to be structurally similar to ORF1ab and S protein. When we evaluated the likelihood/potential to stimulate an immune responses/a cytokine release, TLR-2 and TLR-3, which are highly susceptible to SARS-CoV2, showed a potential receptor-protein interaction with retinal vascular endothelial proteins. Our study demonstrates that SARS-CoV-2 proteins may have structural similarities with vascular endothelial proteins, and therefore, as immunological target sites, the counterpart proteins on the endothelial surface of many organs may also be secondarily affected by any immune response against SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Purpose: Although less than one-third of anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) positive patients with oJIA develop uveitis, ANA positivity is still the most well-known marker for assessing the risk of uveitis in oligoarticular JIA (oJIA). Therefore, novel biomarkers are needed to better assess the risk of developing uveitis. For this purpose, we performed a comparative tear proteome analysis of uveitis patients to reveal the identity of differentially regulated proteins., Design: Tear samples were collected using the Schirmer strips in 7 oJIA and 7 oJIA patients with uveitis (oJIA-U). All oJIA-U patients had developed bilateral anterior uveitis and were inactive and topical treatment-free., Methods: The nHPLC LC-MS/MS system was used for protein identification and label-free proteome comparisons. The PANTHER and STRING analyses were carried out using UniProt accession numbers of the identified proteins., Results: Patient characteristics, e.g., age, gender, disease duration, and treatments were similar. For protein identification, three different databases were searched. Twenty-two, 147, and 258 database searches, respectively. Of these, 15 were common to all three proteome databases. Of these 15 proteins, 10 proteins were upregulated, and 2 were downregulated, based on the twofold regulation criteria. The upregulated proteins were, namely, cystatin-S, secretoglobin family 1D member, opiorphin prepropeptide, mammaglobin-B, lysozyme C, mesothelin, immunoglobulin kappa constant, extracellular glycoprotein lacritin, beta-2-microglobulin, and immunoglobulin J chain. The downregulated proteins were dermcidin and prolactin-inducible protein. Among the differentially regulated proteins, cystatin-S was the most regulated protein with an 18-fold upregulation ratio in tear samples from uveitis patients., Conclusion: Here, the identities and regulation ratios of several proteins were revealed when tear samples from uveitis patients were compared to patients without uveitis. These proteins are putative biomarkers for assessing uveitis risk and require further attention., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Purpose: In this article, a submacular autologous neurosensory retinal transplantation technique is presented in patients with large macular hole (MH) accompanying retinal detachment., Methods: In the surgical procedure, 23-G pars plana vitrectomy and peripheral vitrectomy were performed. An autologous neurosensory retinal patch, which should be larger than the diameter of the MH, was released from a suitable quadrant. The retinal patch was grasped using a 23 gauge microforceps and then passed through the MH and placed under the macula. Liquid perfluorocarbon (PFCL) was injected, and the retina was reattached. A subfoveal autologous neurosensory retinal patch was repositioned in the center of the MH with gentle manipulation under fluid perfluorocarbon, if necessary. Laser retinopexy was applied to peripheral tears under PFCL Subsequently, a 5,000-cSt silicone oil-PFCL exchange was also performed., Results: Four eyes of four patients were operated on using the technique described earlier. Silicone oil was removed from two patients, and the macular holes were closed in all patients at the last follow-up., Conclusion: This technique has been beneficial in refractory MHs and can improve the visual potential in eyes with MHs.

- Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the presence of ACE2, TMPRSS2 and Furin, i.e., a key player in the ocular infection with SARS-COV-2, in surgically obtained human retinal tissue samples from SARS-CoV-2-negative patients, using gene expression analysis., Methods: The mechanisms and entry paths of ocular infections have been ill-defined so far. To better understand the possible entry routes, we used surgically explanted retinal tissue from nine patients that were not infected with SARS-CoV-2 and analyzed the message expression of the three key molecules that confer viral entry into cells using polymerase chain reaction., Results: The median age of the patients (n = 9) included in the study was 52 years (IQR 48, 55). Eight patients underwent surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and one patient for tractional retinal detachment. Gene expression for the proteins studied was detected in all nine patients. The results of analysis by Livak's method (2001) demonstrated a median TMPRSS2 gene expression value of 20.9 (IQR 11.7, 33.7), a median ACE2 gene expression value of 2.09 (IQR 1.14, 2.79) and a median Furin gene expression value of 8.33 (IQR 5.90, 11.8)., Conclusion: In conclusion, TMPRSS2, Furin and ACE2 are expressed in the retina and may contribute to the retinal involvement in COVID-19 patients. Expression may vary among individuals, which may explain why some patients may be more prone to retinal involvement during SARS-CoV-2 infection COVID-19 patients than others. Variability in the expression of TMPRSS2, Furin and ACE2 proteins themselves may also explain the presence or development of retinal symptoms of varying severity., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Background: The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between computed tomography (CT) findings in open globe injuries (OGIs) in pediatric patients and the pediatric ocular trauma score (POTS) and OTS in pediatric ocular trauma., Methods: In 34 pediatric patients with OGI, CT findings were categorized into nine main categories: Scleral irregularity, lens dislocation, abnormal vitreous density, choroid-retinal layer thickening, preseptal thickness increase, intraocular foreign body and air, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, and perforation. The relationship between different types and numbers of CT findings and the POTS and OTS was evaluated., Results: The mean age of trauma was 6.6±3.1. Of the patients, 9 (26.5%) were female and 25 (73.5%) were male. The most com-mon CT findings are scleral irregularity and increased preseptal thickness (47.1%). In univariate analysis, a P<0.05 was found between 16 patients with 1 or less CT findings (median POTS value 80 [71.25-90.0]) and 11 patients with 2 or 3 CT findings (median POTS value 60 [15-70]). A P<0.05 was found between 16 patients with 1 or less CT findings (median POTS value 80 [71.25-90.0]) and 7 patients with 4 or more CT findings (median POTS value 45 [25-80]). A P > 0.05 was found between 11 patients with 2 or 3 CT findings (median POTS value 60 [15-70]) and 7 patients with 4 or more CT findings (median POTS value 45 [25-80]). No significant difference was found between the number of CT findings and OTS stages. While POTS was significant (P<0.05) in patients with ab-normal vitreous density (median 45 [30-69.6]), OTS value was not significant (P>0.05). There was no significant difference between POTS and OTS in other CT findings., Conclusion: The number of CT findings may assist in predicting POTS and, consequently, estimating visual prognosis in pediatric patients with OGI. In emergency situations where, sufficient clinical data are unavailable, the objective findings from CT may help in assessing the severity of ocular trauma and potentially predicting long-term visual outcomes.

- Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate subclinical retinal microvascular changes with OCTA in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) patients without ocular involvement., Methods: Ten eyes of 10 JSLE and 13 eyes of 13 age and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. The superficial (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP), FAZ parameters, the flow area of the outer retina, and choriocapillaris were evaluated using OCTA., Results: All vessel density (VD) parameters in DCP were significantly lower in JSLE group compared to HCs. There was no significant difference between the groups in VD parameters of both SCP and ONH, FAZ, outer retina and choriocapillaris flow area. All DCP VD parameters showed a good ability to differentiate JSLE from HCs., Conclusion: OCTA could detect retinal vascular impairment in the deep macular region in JSLE patients with normal ocular examination. Furthermore, all DCP VD parameters have a good ability to discriminate JSLE from HCs.

- Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the macular and optic nerve head (ONH) vascular density, foveal avascular zone area, and outer retina and choriocapillaris flow in Multisystemic Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA)., Methods: Thirty-four eyes of 34 patients with MIS-C and 36 age and sex-matched healthy controls were investigated in this prospective, cross-sectional study. The superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP), ONH, FAZ parameters, the flow area of the outer retina, and choriocapillaris were evaluated using OCTA., Results: All VD parameters in SCP were significantly lower in MIS-C patients. There was no significant difference between the groups in VD parameters of both DCP and ONH, as well as FAZ area and FAZ perimeter. However, foveal density (FD-300) was significantly decreased in the MIS-C group. (p = 0.024). The outer retina flow area at 1 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm radius and CC flow area at 1 mm and 2 mm radius were significantly lower in the MIS-C group than in the control group. Although CC flow area at 3 mm radius was decreased in the MIS-C group compared to healthy controls, the difference was not statistically significant., Conclusions: We demonstrated a decreased vessel density in SCP, choriocapillaris flow area, and outer retinal flow area in MIS-C patients. Hence, we proposed that OCTA could reveal retinal and choroidal microvascular changes in MIS-C patients who were completely healthy before the diagnosis of MIS-C., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Purpose: To provide consensus on the clinical use of intravitreal dexamethasone (DEX) implant for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) in Turkey., Methods: A panel of 22 retina experts prepared 77 statements of recommendation, and 80 retinal specialists practicing in Turkey were chosen to vote either in support or against each one. A Delphi-based method was used through which the ophthalmologists were able to view all of the results anonymously after two rounds and modify their subsequent answers. The survey was conducted via a mini website, and statements without consensus were resent to the specialists with the latest vote results a week later., Results: A total of 72 ophthalmologists answered the first and second round questions. After the first stage, consensus was achieved on 55 of the statements, leaving 22 without agreement. After the second stage, consensus was reached on 11 of the remaining statements. Strong consensus was achieved on statements regarding the etiopathogenesis of DME and the first-line indications and safety of the DEX implant procedure. The panel recommended the use of DEX implant for patients with an arterial thromboembolic event in the last three months and also agreed that pro re nata DEX implant treatment not only provides better outcomes for DME patients but also reduces the treatment burden for those who could not receive an adequate number of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections., Conclusion: This study provides clinical consensus and recommendations about the use of DEX implant in the clinical practice of DME management in Turkey.

- Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the macular and optic nerve head (ONH) vascular density, foveal avascular zone area, and outer retina and choriocapillaris flow in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA)., Methods: Ten eyes of 10 patients with JDM and 15 age and sex-matched healthy controls were investigated in this prospective, cross-sectional study. The superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP), ONH, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters, the flow area of the outer retina, and choriocapillaris were evaluated using OCTA., Results: Vessel density (VD) of the parafovea (p = 0.036) and parafoveal subregions (p = 0.041 for superior hemifield, p = 0.031 for inferior hemifield, p = 0.012 for superior, p = 0.019 for nasal, p = 0.026 for inferior, and p = 0.048 for temporal) in DCP were significantly lower in the JDM group compared to healthy controls. A high inverse correlation between disease duration and these parameters was found except parafoveal superior VD in DCP. There was no significant difference between the groups in VD parameters of SCP and ONH, FAZ parameters, outer retina, and choriocapillaris flow area as well as thickness parameters. (p > 0.05 for all). Furthermore, ROC analysis revealed that all parafoveal DCP parameters showed good ability to differentiate JDM from healthy controls., Conclusions: We demonstrated a decreased vessel density in the deep parafoveal region in JDM. As a result, we hypothesized that OCTA could detect retinal microvascular changes in JDM patients who did not have clinical evidence of ocular involvement., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) infection have emerged globally, findings related to ocular involvement and reported cases are quite limited. Immune reactions against viral infections are closely related to viral and host proteins sequence similarity. Molecular Mimicry has been described for many different viruses; sequence similarities of viral and human tissue proteins may trigger autoimmune reactions after viral infections due to similarities between viral and human structures. With this study, we aimed to investigate the protein sequence similarity of SARS CoV-2 with retinal proteins and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) surface proteins. Retinal proteins involved in autoimmune retinopathy and retinal pigment epithelium surface transport proteins were analyzed in order to infer their structural similarity to surface glycoprotein (S), nucleocapsid phosphoprotein (N), membrane glycoprotein (M), envelope protein (E), ORF1ab polyprotein (orf1ab) proteins of SARS CoV-2. Protein similarity comparisons, 3D protein structure prediction, T cell epitopes-MHC binding prediction, B cell epitopes-MHC binding prediction and the evaluation of the antigenicity of peptides assessments were performed. The protein sequence analysis was made using the Pairwise Sequence Alignment and the LALIGN program. 3D protein structure estimates were made using Swiss Model with default settings and analyzed with TM-align web server. T-cell epitope identification was performed using the Immune Epitope Database and Analysis (IEDB) resource Tepitool. B cell epitopes based on sequence characteristics of the antigen was performed using amino acid scales and HMMs with the BepiPred 2.0 web server. The predicted peptides/epitopes in terms of antigenicity were examined using the default settings with the VaxiJen v2.0 server. Analyses showed that, there is a meaningful similarities between 6 retinal pigment epithelium surface transport proteins (MRP-4, MRP-5, RFC1, SNAT7, TAUT and MATE) and the SARS CoV-2 E protein. Immunoreactive epitopic sites of these proteins which are similar to protein E epitope can create an immune stimulation on T cytotoxic and T helper cells and 6 of these 9 epitopic sites are also vaxiJen. These result imply that autoimmune cross-reaction is likely between the studied RPE proteins and SARS CoV-2 E protein. The structure of SARS CoV-2, its proteins and immunologic reactions against these proteins remain largely unknown. Understanding the structure of SARS CoV-2 proteins and demonstration of similarity with human proteins are crucial to predict an autoimmune response associated with immunity against host proteins and its clinical manifestations as well as possible adverse effects of vaccination., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
Objectives: To assess changes in reflectivity of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), ellipsoid zone (EZ), and external limiting membrane (ELM) on spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images and the effects of reflectivity changes on visual acuity improvement after vitrectomy in macular hole patients., Materials and Methods: Twenty-four eyes of 24 patients with idiopathic full-thickness macular hole closed after vitrectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The "plot profile" function of the medical imaging software was used by a single masked physician to analyze RPE, EZ, and ELM reflectivity on OCT images at postoperative 1 month and 12 months., Results: Absolute and relative EZ reflectivity showed highly significant increases at postoperative 12 months compared to 1 month (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Absolute and relative EZ reflectivity changes from postoperative month 1 to month 12 after macular hole surgery were significantly correlated with best corrected visual acuity improvement (p=0.012 and p=0.020, respectively)., Conclusion: EZ reflectivity can be a predictor of functional and anatomical improvement after macular hole surgery.

- Abstract
Aim: To compare two different anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment regimens'-a priori pro re nata (PRN) and PRN regimen following the loading phase-anatomical and functional results in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients., Methods: Totally 544 nAMD patients followed and treated with aflibercept ( n =135) and ranibizumab ( n =409) at 9 different centers between 2013 and 2015 were enrolled into this retrospective multicenter study. Patients with initial best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) interval of 1.3-0.3 (logMAR) and a minimum follow-up of 12mo were included. Patients under two different regimens-a priori pro re nata (1+PRN) or 3 consecutive intravitreal injections followed by a PRN regimen (3+PRN)-were compared in BCVA at 3
th , 6th and 12th months, and in central macular thickness (CMT) at 6th and 12th months. The total study group, intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) and intravitreal aflibercept (IVA) groups were evaluated separately., Results: The mean CMT decreased in the 1+PRN ( n =101) regimen from 407 to 358 and 340 µm and in the 3+PRN ( n =443) group from 398 to 318 and finally to 310 µm at months 6 and 12, respectively. Anatomically, the CMT reduction at 6th month (48.5 vs 76.4; P <0.05) was statistically significant in favor of 3+PRN group. BCVA changed in 1+PRN group from 0.77 to 0.78, 0.75 and 0.75; in 3+PRN group from 0.81 to 0.69, 0.72, and 0.76 at months 3, 6, and 12, respectively. Visual gain was statistically better in 3+PRN group at 3th month (-0.01 vs 0.12; P <0.001). In IVR group, CMT reduction was in greater in 3+PRN at 6th (44 vs 72) and 12th month (61 vs 84), but statistically insignificant. The 3+PRN group revealed statistically better visual results at 3th month (-0.02 vs 0.11, P <0.05). In IVA group, although statistically insignificant, CMT reduction (61 vs 89, 6th month; 85 vs 97, 12th month) and visual gain (0.02 vs 0.16; 0.02 vs 0.14; 0.05 vs 0.11) was found in favor of 3+PRN group at all visits., Conclusion: The loading dose of anti-VEGF treatments in nAMD leads to significantly better anatomical and functional results, regardless of the agent, specially in early follow-up interval., (International Journal of Ophthalmology Press.)- Published

- Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the real-world outcomes of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients., Materials and Methods: Multicenter, retrospective, interventional, non-comparative study. The records of nAMD patients treated with an anti-VEGF agent on a pro re nata treatment regimen basis between January 2013 and December 2015 were reviewed. The patients who completed a follow-up period of 12 months were included. Primary outcome measures of this study were the visit and injection numbers during the first year., Results: Eight hundred eighty eyes of 783 patients met the inclusion criteria for the study. Mean number of visits at month 12 was 6.9±2.5 (range: 1-15). Mean number of injections at month 12 was 4.1±1.9 (range: 1-11). Mean visual acuity at baseline and months 3, 6, and 12 was 0.90±0.63 LogMAR (range: 0.0-3.0), 0.79±0.57 LogMAR (range: 0.0-3.0), 0.76±0.57 LogMAR (range: 0.0-3.0), and 0.79±0.59 LogMAR (range: 0.0-3.0), respectively. Mean central retinal thickness at baseline and months 6 and 12 was 395±153 μm (range: 91-1582), 330±115 μm (range: 99-975), and 332±114 μm (range: 106-1191), respectively., Conclusion: The numbers of visits and injections were much lower than ideal and were insufficient with the pro re nata treatment regimen., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest: No conflict of interest was declared by the authors.

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether a correlation exists between optical coherence tomography (OCT) of retina and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the optic pathway measurements. All subjects underwent OCT measurements of optic nerve head, retinal nerve fiber layer, and macula. Fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of optic pathways were analyzed using DTI. Prechiasmatic FA values were significantly decreased in unilateral amblyopic group in both affected and sound fellow eyes (p = 0.019 and 0.013), but not in bilateral amblyopic group (p = 0.221) when compared with the control group. ADC values were significantly greater in sound eye in unilateral amblyopic group in prechiasmatic and postchiasmatic regions (p = 0.001 and 0.049). ADC values were also significantly greater in bilateral amblyopic group in postchiasmatic region (p = 0.037). There were no significant differences between the affected eye and sound eye side DTI measurements. There was no significant correlation between prechiasmatic DTI and OCT measurements in affected and sound eyes of unilateral amblyopia group. DTI results demonstrated that there is a functional underdevelopment of the anterior and posterior visual pathways in both affected and sound eye of unilateral amblyopic patients. Significantly reduced FA values in prechiasmatic region where OCT values of retina were normal can be explained by possible micro-structural changes.

- Abstract
Familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC) is an autosomal recessive syndrome that affects the tight junction proteins claudin-16 and claudin-19 in the thick ascending limb. In patients with claudin-19 mutations, additional symptoms such as visual impairment and other ophthalmologic findings are expected. In this report, we present a seven-year-old girl with polyuria and polydipsia. She was the daughter of consanguineous parents with a history of neonatal hypomagnesemic convulsion. On physical examination, bilateral horizontal nystagmus, retinitis pigmentosa and severe myopia were detected. Laboratory examination revealed hypomagnesemia, hypercalciuria and hypermagnesuria. A clinical diagnosis of FHHNC caused possibly by claudin-19 mutation was decided with the ocular findings. DNA analysis revealed a novel homozygous nonsense mutation (W169X) in the CLDN19 gene. In conclusion, in a patient with consanguineous parents, history of hypomagnesemic convulsion and disturbed organization and development of the retina, a diagnosis of FHHNC caused by claudin-19 mutation should be considered.

- Abstract
Purpose: To compare the short-term ocular hypotensive efficacy and side effects of 0.2% brimonidine and 0.5% apraclonidine in patients with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)., Methods: We performed a double-masked, placebo-controlled study to compare the efficacy of the application of 0.2% brimonidine and 0.5% apraclonidine for the effect of IOP, systemic blood pressure and heart rate in 20 newly diagnosed ocular hypertensive patients. Effects on the untreated fellow eye and ocular side effects were also determined. All measurements were performed 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 h after the instillation of one drop., Results: Brimonidine and apraclonidine significantly reduced IOP from baseline at all observation times. No significant difference was observed between the treatment groups. IOP decreased significantly in the untreated fellow eye in the brimonidine group at 4-, 6- and 8-hour checks and at 6-hour checks in the apraclonidine group when compared with placebo. Blood pressure and heart rate decreased significantly in the brimonidine group compared with placebo. Apraclonidine did not affect blood pressure or heart rate any differently than placebo. The pupil diameter and the interpalpebral fissure width significantly increased in the apraclonidine group, but not in the brimonidine group. There were no significant differences in the overall incidence of foreign body sensation, burning and stinging and dry mouth in the treatment groups., Conclusions: In the short-term, brimonidine was effective in reducing IOP in patients with elevated IOP and was equivalent in efficacy to apraclonidine. On the other hand, a significant change in blood pressure and heart rate was observed with brimonidine; there was no change at all in the apraclonidine group., (Copyright 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel)

- Abstract
Brimonidine, a highly selective alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonist, was studied to determine its ocular hypotensive effect and side effects in patients with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) while on continuing therapy with timolol. This was a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study in 15 patients with primary open-angle or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma on therapy receiving timolol 0.5% twice daily, with IOP greater than or equal to 22 mm Hg in one eye. IOP measurements, blood pressure and pulse rate were assessed on 2 days at a baseline and 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 h later. A single drop of brimonidine 0.2% or placebo was added to treatment with timolol. The reductions in IOP at all time intervals observed with brimonidine + timolol were significantly greater than those with timolol + placebo. The maximum mean net decrease in IOP was 19.23 +/- 10.60% at 4 h. Statistically significant decreases in systemic blood pressure and pulse rate without clinical symptoms were observed in the group receiving brimonidine + timolol. This study suggests that a combination of brimonidine and timolol may have potential in the treatment of glaucoma. Further clinical trials with brimonidine are indicated to assess its further role as adjunctive agent.
