Purpose: To evaluate postoperative changes in corneal topographic parameters and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) following Müller muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR) in patients with mild-to-moderate ptosis.

Methods: This prospective clinical study included patients who underwent MMCR after a positive phenylephrine test and with good levator function who were evaluated. Preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), margin reflex distance 1 and corneal parameters (flat meridian, steep meridian, simulated keratometry, maximum keratometry), along with HOAs including coma, trefoil, spherical aberration, secondary astigmatism and quadrifoil, were assessed at week 1, month 1 and month 3.

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term progression of macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) using a standardized classification system and to assess the incidence, progression, and management strategies of complications such as macular neovascularization (MNV) and macular hole (MH).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the medical records of patients diagnosed with MacTel at a tertiary referral center in Türkiye from January 2004 to February 2025. Patients with a minimum follow-up of 3 years and no confounding macular pathologies were included.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between phacoparameters and inflammation parameters (anterior chamber flare (ACF), macular and peripapillary choroidal vascular index (mCVI and pCVI)) changes after cataract surgery.

Study Design: Prospective study METHODS: This prospective observational study included patients without systemic and ocular diseases who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery that may have affected intraocular inflammation. Preoperative, postoperative 1st week, 1st, 3rd and 6th months ACF were measured.

Purpose: To compare visual and refractive outcomes in aphakic patients who underwent scleral fixated intraocular lens (SF-IOL) implantation with Yamane and Z-suture techniques.

Design: Retrospective study.

Methods: Patients who underwent SF-IOL implantation with Yamane and Z-suture techniques due to aphakia between 2021 and 2023 were analyzed.

Introduction: Alexandrite laser is generally used for hair removal and treatment of hyperpigmented skin lesions. It is important to use protective equipment during treatment. In previous cases, complications such as conjunctival hyperemia, anterior uveitis, and choroidal neovascularization were reported.

Background: To evaluate the change in corneal high order aberrations (HOAs) and anterior chamber parameters following scleral fixation in aphakic patients using the Scheimpflug camera system.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients who were aphakic after phacoemulsification surgery and underwent scleral-fixed intraocular lens (SF-IOL) implantation with Z suture technique between 2010 and 2022. Preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior segment parameters and corneal aberrations were evaluated with a combined Scheimpflug-Placido disk corneal topography device (Sirius Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici, Florence, Italy).
