Canaloplasty is a well-established non-penetrating glaucoma surgery. Unsuccessful outcomes can be enhanced by micro-invasive 360° suture trabeculotomy (360°trabeculotomy), analyzed in this study. This retrospective study included twenty eyes of 19 patients, mean age 59.7±17.2 years, with primary open-angle glaucoma (POWG n = 14), pseudoexfoliation ...
To develop a deep learning (DL) model for automated detection of glaucoma and to compare diagnostic capability against hand-craft features (HCFs) based on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) images. A DL model with pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) based was trained usin...
To evaluate the endothelial cell loss in patients with iris-claw phakic lenses (Artisan®) in a long-term follow-up. We analyzed the medical records of patients who had undergone iris-claw phakic lens implantation and who had at least 5 years of follow-up. We included 67 eyes with myopic errors (follow-up 9.6 ± 3.0 years) and 10 eyes with mixed asti...
To evaluate the surgical outcomes of the 27-gauge (G) vitrectomy system for the treatment of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). This retrospective consecutive series multicenter study involved a total of 410 eyes of 406 patients who underwent 3-port transconjunctival 27G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for RRD between November 2014 and De...
Multiple image averaging (MIA) is a new approach to improve OCT angiography (OCTA) imaging. The aim of this work was to analyze the impact of MIA on image quality and quantitative OCTA parameters. Twenty eyes from 20 healthy volunteers (55.65 ± 14.8 years) were prospectively enrolled. Imaging was performed using two commercially available OCTA devi...
Retinal oxygen saturation (SO2) during flicker light stimulation was measured non-invasively in humans with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Furthermore, the differences between early and late stages of AMD were evaluated. In 60 eyes of 45 AMD patients (74 ± 8.3 years) and 23 eyes of 23 healthy controls (73.4 ± 7.4 years), the SO2 of arterio...
Both ectopia lentis and retinal injury are common results of blunt ocular trauma. Here, we investigated the incidence and characteristics of retinal breaks associated with ectopia lentis caused by blunt ocular trauma. Patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy to treat traumatic lens subluxation and dislocation were retrospectively reviewed. The ...
The evaluation of the short-term effect of topically applied coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on retina and choroid in Alzheimer's disease (AD) was aimed in this study. Randomized controlled study included a total of 93 patients, 62 of whom with AD. Thirty (32.3%) AD patients received treatment (Group 1), 32 (34.4%) AD patients observed without treatment (Grou...
