    Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the awareness of the diabetic retinopathy and the level of the diabetic retinopathy in the diabetic patients, which consulted to the state hospitals in Turkey. Methods: A total of 1071 patients, admitted to 8 different state hospitals' ophthalmology clinics around the country, were included to this cross sectional multicentred study. All diabetic patients were asked to respond specifically prepared questionnaire including diabetic retinopathy and diabetes mellitus and underwent fundus examination to assess the diabetic retinopathy level. Results: The mean age of the study population was 57.5 years and the 57.4 % of the patients were women. 34.7% of the patients' were responded "NO" to the question of "Are you aware of the eye complications of diabetes mellitus?". The study also showed that 200 of 699 patients (28.6%) who aware of the diabetic retinopathy, despite having this information do not have regular eye examination for the diabetic retinopathy. It was seen that even 40.62% (26/64) of the college graduates don't go regular checks. The majority of the aware patients (40.5 %) pointed out that they took information from internal medicine or endocrinologists and the 28.1% of the patients were informed from elsewhere (family, neighbor, TV, etc.). Conclusion: One third of the subjects monitored were not aware of diabetic retinopathy. It is noteworthy to emphasize the importance of the routine eye examination for preventing vision loss, regardless of the educational level. The warning of the physicians through written and visual media is thought to be effective in preventing irreversible condition of this disease.

    Evaluation of Iridocorneal Angle, Choroidal Thickness, and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Children With a History of Retinopathy of Prematurity
    (2020) Ulusoy, Mahmut Oguz; Kivanc, Sertac Argun; Kal, Ali; 31790064
    Purpose: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is proliferative retinopathy affecting premature infants associated with abnormal maturation of the retinal vasculature. We sought to evaluate iridocorneal angle, choroidal thickness, and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) of the children that have a history of ROP using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Patients and Methods: Fifty eyes of 28 children with a history of ROP and 46 eyes of 23 healthy school-aged children were included in this study. RNFLT, choroidal thickness, and iridocorneal angle parameters [trabecular iris angle, angle opening distance (AOD500), and trabecular iris space area (TISA500) 500 mu m from the scleral spur] were evaluated using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Student t test was used to compare the mean of the parameters. Correlations between the variables were investigated based on the Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: Subfoveal (ROP: 253.98 +/- 42.5; control: 286.2 +/- 71.9; P=0.045), 500 mu m (ROP: 242.04 +/- 41.8; control: 276.7 +/- 45.3; P=0.003), 1000 mu m (ROP: 237 +/- 39.7; control: 270.15 +/- 55.93; P=0.007), and 1500 mu m (ROP: 224.16 +/- 37.5; control: 259.75 +/- 55.2; P=0.003) temporal choroidal thicknesses were significantly thinner in ROP history children. None of the RNFLT parameters and ganglion cell complex thickness were different between groups. Iridocorneal angle parameters were significantly lower in children with ROP history. (trabecular iris angle: ROP=31.35 +/- 3.9 degrees, control=35.4 +/- 4.5 degrees, P<0.001; TISA500: ROP=0.167 +/- 0.05 mm(2), control=0.21 +/- 0.05 mm(2), P=0.003; AOD500: ROP=480.96 +/- 160.4 mu m, control=542.95 +/- 161.2 mu m, P=0.035). Conclusions: ROP is associated with differences in the iridocorneal angle. Possible iridocorneal angle pathology should be a consideration in children with a history of ROP.
