Item 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 Effects of topical Coenzyme Q10, Xanthan Gum and Sodium Hyaluronate on corneal epithelial wound healing(2021) Asena, Leyla; Gokgoz, Gulsah; Helvacioglu, Fatma; Ozgun, Gonca; Deniz, Emine Ebru; Altinors, Dilek Dursun; 0000-0002-6848-203X; 0000-0002-4837-7937; 0000-0002-6026-0045; 34134604; E-5914-2016; AAY-7932-2021; AAH-8887-2021Background: The aim was to compare the effects of three different eye drops on corneal epithelial wound healing in an experimental model. Methods: Twenty-four eyes of 24 female BALB/c mice were included. A 2 mm central corneal epithelial defect was created. Topical Coenzyme Q10 + Vitamin E D-alpha-TPGS 4 x 1 was applied to Group A (n = 6), topical Sodium hyaluronate + Xanthan Gum + 0.3% Nethylmicine 4 x 1 to Group B (n = 6) and topical Sodium hyaluronate 4 x 1 to Group C (n = 6). Group D (n = 6) was the control group without treatment. Clinical scoring according to corneal fluorescein staining and histopathological evaluations was performed. Results: Clinical scores according to corneal fluorescein staining were similar in all groups on days 1 (p = 0.05), 2 (p = 0.15) and 3 (p = 0.62). Electron microscopy revealed disruption of intercellular junctions between corneal epithelial cells and intracellular vacuole formation in all groups except Group A. Corneal epithelial thickness and superficial epithelial microvillus arrangement were close to normal in Group A. Conclusion: Although there was no difference in clinical scores between groups, electron microscopy revealed a better organised epithelium with normal configuration of microvilli and less vacuolisation in Group AItem Comparison of ocular discomfort after three different epithelial debridement techniques for corneal collagen cross-linking in keratoconus treatment(2021) Alkayid, Hosamadden; Asena, Leyla; Yuce, Aslihan; Colak, Meric Yavuz; Altinors, Dilek Dursun; 34250443Purpose: To compare the severity and duration of ocular discomfort after three different epithelial debridement techniques for corneal collagen cross-linking in the treatment of keratoconus. Methods: Fifty-five patients (65 eyes) known to have keratoconus were enrolled in this retrospective study. The eyes were divided into three groups based on the technique used for epithelial debridement for corneal collagen cross-linking procedure; excimer laser transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy was used in group 1 (18 eyes), alcohol-assisted epithelial removal was used in group 2 (27 eyes), and mechanical epithelial debridement was used in group 3 (20 eyes). Preoperative and postoperative (third month) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using Snellen chart, objective refraction, and keratometry results were recorded. The results of the questionnaire obtained from the patient's medical records were reviewed regarding their subjective evaluation of postoperative symptoms including foreign body sensation, tearing, photophobia, and burning at the end of the first postoperative week. Paired-samples t test was used to compare preoperative and postoperative clinical findings. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the differences between three independent groups. Results: BCVA improved from 0.51 +/- 0.27 to 0.58 +/- 0.21 (p = 0.05). Objective mean spherical and cylindrical refraction decreased from -5.08 +/- 2.78D to -4.46 +/- 2.91D (p = 0.22) and from -3.45 +/- 2.73D to -3.03 +/- 1.97D (p = 0.25). Mean maximum keratometry reading (K-max) decreased from 57.63 +/- 4.73D to 56.13 +/- 4.47D (p = 0.001). The mean score for foreign body sensation was the highest in group 3 (4.50 +/- 0.53) and the lowest in group 1 (2.10 +/- 1.85) (p = 0.01). The mean scores for tearing, photophobia, and burning sensation were comparable in three groups (p = 0.84, p = 0.13, and p = 0.61, respectively). The duration of photophobia was the shortest in group 1 (1.50 +/- 2.37 days), followed by group 3 (2.00 +/- 1.31 days) and group 2 (4.00 +/- 1.83 days) (p = 0.04). Conclusions: The severity and duration of adverse subjective symptoms during the first postoperative week after corneal collagen cross-linking appear to be milder with epithelial debridement using excimer laser transepithelial technique compared with -assisted debridement and mechanical debridement.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 Galectin-3, IL-1A, IL-6, and EGF Levels in Corneal Epithelium of Patients With Recurrent Corneal Erosion Syndrome(2020) Candar, Tuba; Asena, Leyla; Alkayid, Husamadden; Altinors, Dilek D.; 0000-0001-5223-0279; 0000-0002-6848-203X; 32732704; E-5914-2016; AAK-8077-2021Purpose: To determine the galectin-3 (Gal3), interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) levels in corneal epithelium of patients with recurrent corneal erosion (RCE) syndrome and compare them with healthy controls. Methods: In this prospective interventional case control study, 32 eyes of 32 patients with RCE syndrome who had corneal epithelial erosions and 28 eyes of 28 healthy participants scheduled for photorefractive keratectomy (control group) were included. Exclusion criteria included corneal dystrophies, ectasia, dry eye, previous ocular surgery or topical medications, and systemic diseases. Epithelial samples were obtained during epithelial debridement in the study group and mechanical epithelial keratectomy in the control group. Galectin-3 levels were studied by the chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay method. IL-1, IL-6, and EGF levels were determined using corresponding ELISA kits. Results: The median Gal3 levels were 132.25 ng/mL in the study group and 106.50 ng/mL in the control group. The median IL-1 and IL-6 levels were 6.24 pg/mL and 10.16 pg/mL, respectively, in the study group which were higher than that in the control group. The median EGF level in the study group was lower than that the control group with 1.30 pg/mL versus 2.67 pg/mL. In the control group, there was a significant positive correlation between EGF and IL-6 (r = 0.554;P= 0.040). A similar correlation was not observed in patients with RCE (r = -0.071;P= 0.794). Conclusions: The lack of increased EGF expression and the imbalance between growth factors, adhesion molecules, and interleukins may be the reason for the impaired wound healing response in RCE syndrome.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. (C) 2018 ASCRS and ESCRSItem Atypical Intrapapillary Hemorrhage in a Patient with Glaucoma(2015) Gungor, Sirel Gur; Ozisik, Gulce Gokgoz; Akman, Ahmet; Asena, LeylaA 73-year-old man presented for routine follow-up. There were primary open-angle glaucoma, diabetes mellitus, and usage of acetylsalicylic acid in patient's history. Dilated fundus examination demonstrated cup hemorrhage in the right eye. Because of the progression of the superotemporal retinal nerve fiber layer defect in the last seven months, we think that the disk hemorrhage could be associated with glaucoma.

Methods: Six eyes of 6 patients with primary OSSN confirmed by impression cytology received topical 5mg/mL bevacizumab 4 times daily for a period of 8 weeks. Patients were evaluated in 2-week intervals. Digital photography images were obtained at each visit and changes in the size of the lesions were analyzed by image analysis software. Results: The mean age of the patients was 6613 (+/- SD) years. Four tumors were nasal in origin and 2 tumors were temporal. The mean reduction observed in the lesion area was 43%+/- 24.2% (range, 20%-71%) in the first month and 68%+/- 29.7% (range, 42%-100%) in the second month when compared with the baseline area. Four patients required tumor excision at the end of the treatment period. Surgical treatment was not necessary in 2 patients due to complete disappearance of the tumor, which was confirmed by impression cytology. The visual acuity was stable in all patients and no systemic or visual side effects were observed during the study period. Conclusions: Topical bevacizumab is effective as a neoadjuvant therapy combined with surgical excision for the treatment of OSSN. Topical bevacizumab may be used before surgery to decrease the size of the excision. Excision may be unnecessary in responsive patients.Item Herpetic Keratouveitis and Trabeculectomy Failure during Infliximab Therapy in a Patient with Behcet's Disease(2016) Gungor, Sirel Gur; Asena, Leyla; Akman, Ahmet; Gokmen, Onur; 27800267A 51-year-old man was diagnosed with Behcet's disease in 2001. The patient was resistant to all immunosuppressive therapies. After 6 months of infliximab therapy, he presented to our clinic with pain and blurred vision in his right eye. The visual acuity was 20/200 and the intraocular pressure was 35 mmHg in the right eye. Biomicroscopic examination revealed corneal dendritic ulcers and 2+ cells in the anterior chamber in the right eye. The herpetic keratouveitis attack was controlled with antiviral therapy but the patient needed another glaucoma surgery. Trabeculectomy with mitomycin C was performed about halfway through an eight-week interval between two doses of infliximab.Item Evaluation and comparison of the new swept source OCT-based IOLMaster 700 with the IOLMaster 500(2016) Akman, Ahmet; Asena, Leyla; Gungor, Sirel Gur; 0000-0001-6178-8362; 0000-0002-6848-203X; 26674777; AAD-5967-2021; E-5914-2016Purpose To compare the measurements and failure rates obtained with a new swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based biometry to IOLMaster 500. Setting Eye Clinic, Baskent University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey. Design Observational cross-sectional study and evaluation of a new diagnostic technology. Methods 188 eyes of 101 subjects were included in the study. Measurements of axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal power (K1 and K2) and the measurement failure rate with the new Zeiss IOLMaster 700 were compared with those obtained with the IOLMaster 500. The results were evaluated using Bland-Altman analyses. The differences between both methods were assessed using the paired samples t test, and their correlation was evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results The mean age was 68.3212.71years and the male/female ratio was 29/72. The agreements between two devices were outstanding regarding AL (ICC=1.0), ACD (ICC=0.920), K1 (ICC=0.992) and K2 (ICC=0.989) values. IOLMaster 700 was able to measure ACD AL, K1 and K2 in all eyes within high-quality SD limits of the manufacturer. IOLMaster 500 was able to measure ACD in 175 eyes, whereas measurements were not possible in the remaining 13 eyes. AL measurements were not possible for 17 eyes with IOLMaster 500. Nine of these eyes had posterior subcapsular cataracts and eight had dense nuclear cataracts. Conclusions Although the agreement between the two devices was excellent, the IOLMaster 700 was more effective in obtaining biometric measurements in eyes with posterior subcapsular and dense nuclear cataracts.
