Item Letter to the Editor: Peripapillary and Macular Vessel Density Measurement With Optical Coherence Angiography in Exfoliation Syndrome(2021) Gungor, Sirel Gur; Sezenoz, Almila Sarigul; Ozturk, Caner; Gokgoz, Gulsah; Akman, Ahmet; 0000-0002-4837-7937; 33273286; AAY-7932-2021Item Comparison of refractive outcomes using Scheimpflug Holladay equivalent keratometry or IOLMaster 700 keratometry for IOL power calculation(2021) Aksoy, Mustafa; Asena, Leyla; Gungor, Sirel Gur; Kucukoduk, Ali; Akman, Ahmet; 0000-0001-8024-4758; 33733281Purpose This study aims to compare postoperative refractive error results using Pentacam (Oculus Optikgerate GmbH) Holladay equivalent keratometry readings (EKR) or IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) keratometry (K) values in IOL power calculation. Material and methods This retrospective study included 54 eyes of 31 patients who underwent cataract surgery. Preoperative biometric measurements of all patients were obtained using IOLMaster 700 followed by Pentacam measurements. IOLMaster 700 K measurements on horizontal (K1) and vertical (K2) axes and EKR measurements on 2 mm (EKR2mm), 3 mm (EKR3mm) and 4.5 mm (EKR4.5 mm) corneal zones were recorded. EKR4.5 mm value and IOLMaster 700 K values were used in Holladay-II, SRK/T, Haigis, and Hoffer-Q formulas to calculate predictive refractive error (PRE). Absolute refractive error (ARE) was calculated as the absolute difference between actual postoperative refractive error (APRE) and PRE values. Results Mean age was 72.2 +/- 8.3 (51-87) years and mean IOL power was 21.5 +/- 2.9 D (18-23 D). There was no significant difference between PRE values when IOLMaster 700 K measurements and EKR4.5 mm K measurements were used in Holladay-II, SRK/T, Haigis, and Hoffer-Q formulas (p = 0.571, p = 0.833, p = 0.165, p = 0.347, respectively). There was no significant difference between APRE and ARE values (p = 0.124). According to mean ARE results, the closest estimate was achieved when the IOLMaster 700 K values were used in the Holladay-II formula (p = 0.271). Conclusion IOLMaster 700 K measurement and Pentacam EKR4.5 mm measurements can be used interchangeably. IOLMaster 700 K values yielded the most predictive measurement of the refractive result using the Holladay-II formula.Item Relationship between primary open angle glaucoma and blood pressure(2020) Yilmaz, Kerem Can; Gungor, Sirel Sur; Ciftci, Orcun; Akman, Ahmet; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; 0000-0002-9635-6313; 0000-0001-8926-9142; 30650042; AAG-8233-2020; W-5233-2018; AAJ-1331-2021Background: Glaucoma is commonly defined as high intra ocular pressure (>= 21 mmHg) with optic neuropathy characterised by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells which is associated with characteristic structural damage to the optic nerve and visual field loss. There are several studies investigating relation between primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and both systemic hypertension and especially night hypotension. Our aim was to compare 24-h ambulatory blood pressure variability of patients with glaucoma followed-up in the eye outpatient clinic with that of patients free of glaucoma. Methods: A total of 75 patients were included in the study, 35 in the patient group and 40 in the control group. Both groups were compared for daytime, night-time, and whole day mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) readings in the ambulatory blood pressure testing. Results: Mean daytime systolic BP of the glaucoma patients was 119.5 +/- 11.6 mmHg, and 128.3 +/- 15.5 mmHg for control group (p = 0.008). The night-time systolic blood pressure, whole day systolic BP, and mean diastolic BP were significantly lower in patients with glaucoma (p = 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.028, respectively). In multiple regression analysis, we identified daytime systolic BP, night-time systolic BP, and whole day systolic BP were independent risk factors for developing glaucoma. Conclusion: If the progression of the disease is noticeable in patients with glaucoma at follow-up, night-time hypotension should be ruled out with ambulatory blood pressure and if this is observed medical treatments used by the patients should be reviewed and necessary measures should be taken.Item Changes in ocular biometric parameters after renal transplantation(2020) Aksoy, Mustafa; Asena, Leyla; Gungor, Sirel Gur; Soy, Ebru H. Ayvazoglu; Akman, Ahmet; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-3462-7632; 0000-0002-0993-9917; 0000-0001-6178-8362; 0000-0002-6848-203X; 0000-0003-1513-7686; 32415655; AAJ-8097-2021; AAC-5566-2019; E-5914-2016; AAD-5967-2021Purpose This study aimed to investigate the changes in postoperative ocular biometric parameters in end-stage renal disease patients who underwent renal transplantation. Material and methods This retrospective study included a total of 33 eyes of 33 patients. The ocular biometric measurements which were evaluated were axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal keratometry (K1 and K2), degree of astigmatism, lens thickness (LT), and intraocular pressure (IOP). Refractive prediction error (RE) was calculated before and after renal transplantation using the same diopter (D) for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation and evaluated for potential cataract surgery. Results The study included 15 male (45%) and 18 female (55%) patients. Mean patient age was 31.55 +/- 8.24 (range: 18-49 years). In the comparison of preoperative and 1-month postoperative measurements, there was a statistically significant difference in AL, LT, ACD, and CCT (p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between K1, K2, and astigmatism measurements (p = 0.72; p = 0.35; p = 0.62, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in RE (p = 0.61-Holladay 2). Conclusion While renal transplantation surgery does not lead to significant changes in astigmatism, predicted refractive error, corneal keratometry, or intraocular pressure, it causes significant decrease in axial length, lens thickness, and central corneal thickness and significant increase in anterior chamber depth. However, these changes do not result in significant changes in IOL power calculation in planned cataract surgery.Item Characteristics of uveitic glaucoma in Turkish patients(2020) Tekeli, Oya; Elgin, Ufuk; Takmaz, Tamer; Eksioglu, Umit; Bas, Zeynep; Yarangumeli, Alper; Karakurt, Ahmet; Evren Kemer, Ozlem; Mumcuoglu, Tarkan; Aktas, Zeynep; Akman, Ahmet; Bayer, Atilla; 32799547Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of uveitic glaucoma (UG) in the Turkish population and investigate the primary underlying diseases. Methods: This multicenter, cross-sectional, prospective study included patients who presented to the glaucoma units of 10 tertiary ophthalmology departments in Ankara, Turkey from 15th March to 16th May 2015 and fulfilled the criteria of UG. Patients were inspected for age, sex, medical history, best corrected visual acuity, biomicroscopic findings, intraocular pressure values, and visual field results. Results: During the study period, 4604 eyes of 2541 patients with glaucoma were screened and 145 eyes of 104 patients (4.1%) were identified as having UG. One hundred and thirty-four eyes (92.4%) had open-angle glaucoma and 11 eyes (7.6%) had closed-angle glaucoma. The mean patient age was 47 +/- 16 (6-90) years. Idiopathic uveitis (54 eyes), Behcet's disease (26 eyes), Fuchs heterochromic cyclitis (21 eyes), Herpes Simplex virus infectious uveitis (14 eyes), and ankylosing spondylitis (six eyes) were the leading types of uveitis associated with glaucoma. Acute anterior uveitis was the most common type of uveitis diagnosed in 72 patients (105 eyes), whereas 21 patients (27 eyes) had panuveitis, eight patients (nine eyes) had intermediate uveitis, and three patients (four eyes) had posterior uveitis. The need for surgical intervention was 37.2% among all cases and the most common surgery was trabeculectomy in 45 eyes. Conclusion: UG is a vision-threatening complication commonly seen in patients with uveitis. This study demonstrates the epidemiological features and underlying etiologies of UG in the Turkish population. The most common primary causes of UG were Behcet's disease and Fuchs heterochromic cyclitis.Item Evaluation of quality of life after implantation of a new trifocal intraocular lens(2019) Akman, Ahmet; Asena, Leyla; Ozturk, Caner; Gungor, Sirel Gur; 0000-0001-6178-8362; 0000-0002-6848-203X; 30612749; E-5914-2016; AAD-5967-2021Purpose: To evaluate the vision-related quality of life (QOL) after implantation of a new trifocal intraocular lens (IOL), by using the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-14 (VF-14 QOL questionnaire). Setting: Baskent University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Ankara, Turkey. Design: Prospective noncomparative case series. Methods: Consecutive patients who had a new trifocal IOL (Pan-Optix) bilaterally implanted were included in the study. The vision-related QOL was assessed 3 months after the surgery in the second eye. The VF-14 QOL questionnaire was used, with a grading scale of 0, no difficulty; 1, a little difficulty; 2, moderate difficulty; 3, quite difficult; 4, impossible to perform. A subgroup of 14 patients, with an interval of at least 3 months between the surgery in the first eye and the surgery in the fellow eye, were also interviewed 3 months after the monocular IOL implantation. In this subgroup, the QOL with monocular and binocular implantation was compared. Results: The study comprised 48 patients. Reading small print, driving at night, and doing fine handwork were the most difficult tasks to perform, with the mean values of the VF-14 QOL questionnaire being 0.94 +/- 0.81 (SD), 0.89 +/- 0.68, and 0.64 +/- 0.67, respectively. Binocular implantation was associated with improvement in vision-related QOL when compared with monocular implantation, with significant differences in doing fine handwork such as sewing (P = .02) and using a computer (P = .03). Conclusions: With mean values of 1.00 or lower for each question, the results of the VF-14 QOL questionnaire indicated that patients who have the new trifocal IOL bilaterally implanted have an overall high satisfaction rate and a high vision-related QOL.
