Item Implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lens in cases without posterior capsular union(CUKUROVA UNIV, FAC MEDICINE, 2018-01-01) Ozdemir, Evin Singar; Altiparmak, Ugur Emrah; Unlu, Nurten; Ozdemir, Yaprak Arzu; Duman, SunayPurpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the results of primary iris-fixated and scleral-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens implantations in patients with in sufficient capsular support. Materials and Methods: A prospective analysis of patients who underwent primary sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation secondary to insufficient posterior capsular support during cataract surgery was performed. Outcome measures wereItem The role of anterior segment optical coherence tomography in the management of an intra-corneal foreign body(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2016-01-01) Celebi, Ali Riza Cenk; Kilavuzoglu, Ayse Ebru; Altiparmak, Ugur Emrah; Cosar, C. Banu; Ozkiris, AbdullahIntroduction: Corneal foreign bodies are reported to be the second most common type of ocular injury. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) is a valuable tool for the early diagnosis and monitoring the progress of treatment in cases of ocular trauma. Herein we aimed to report on a patient with an intra-corneal foreign body and the role of AS-OCT in management. Case presentation: A 34-year-old male presented with foreign body sensation in his left eye. Slit-lamp biomicroscopic examination revealed a peripherally located intrastromally embedded foreign body with a free anterior edge extending outwards from the cornea. It was not possible to visualize the foreign body's entire route through the cornea because of localized corneal edema. AS-OCT showed shadowing of the corneal layers corresponding to the location of the corneal foreign body. A hyper-reflective lesion was observed close to the inside edge of the foreign body in the cornea, indicating that the foreign body had not completely penetrated the cornea. The foreign body was removed via the external route, as it had not completely penetrated the cornea. During the postoperative period the patient was asymptomatic, although the left eye's cornea healed with scar tissue. Discussion and Evaluation: AS-OCT facilitates non-invasive rapid imaging of ocular tissue at various depths, thereby providing accurate assessment of foreign body characteristics. The location of an intracorneal foreign body and the status of the surrounding ocular structure dictate the optimal surgical technique to be employed. Conclusions: AS-OCT in the present case facilitated localization and determination of the size of a corneal foreign body. In addition, AS-OCT findings assisted in selection of the appropriate surgical intervention.Item Retinal tear: an unusual complication of ocular toxoplasmosis(DE GRUYTER OPEN LTD, 2015-01-01) Celebi, Ali Riza Cenk; Kilavuzoglu, Ayse Ebru; Altiparmak, Ugur Emrah; Cosar, Cemile Banu; Ozkiris, AbdullahPurpose: It is aimed to report on a 16-year-old patient with acquired ocular toxoplasmosis complicated by a retinal tear. Methods: Retrospective medical chart review Results: A 16-year-old Caucasian female presented with vision loss in her right eye. In addition to a white active lesion between the fovea and the optic nerve head, marked vitreous opacification was noted. She was diagnosed with ocular toxoplasmosis. The patient was treated with oral azithromycin, clindamycin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. One month later, retinochoroiditis resolved and vitreous cleared. Three months after onset, patient presented with floaters in the right eye and a retinal tear was located at the temporal region of the retina. Prophylactic argon laser treatment that encircled the retinal tear was performed. No other abnormalities were noted during 6 months of follow-up. Conclusions: Retinal tear associated with ocular toxoplasmosis is rare
