Item Surgical treatment of consecutive exotropia: Comparison of different surgical methods applied to one eye in one session(2021) Sefi-Yurdakul, Nazife; Oto, Sibel; Pelit, Aysel; 0000-0003-2005-9256; 34308671; AAF-4678-2020Purpose: To compare the different surgical methods performed on a single eye in a single session and the factors that affect the success of patients having consecutive exotropia (XT) developed after esotropia surgery. Methods: The medical data of the patients who underwent surgery for consecutive XT were reviewed retrospectively. Patients with followed of 6 months or more were divided into four groups; patients with medial rectus (MR) advancement (Group 1 = 10), MR advancement and MR resection (Group 2 = 12), MR advancement and lateral rectus (LR) recession (Group 3 = 13), MR advancement, MR resection, and LR recession (Group 4 = 14). Success results and possible risk factors were investigated. Results: Forty-nine patients with consecutive XT (21 female, 28 male) were enrolled in the study. The mean age of overall patients was 22.97 years at surgery for consecutive XT. The groups did not display significant differences in terms of surgery ages, gender, refraction values, visual acuity, amblyopia, inferior oblique overaction, limitation of adduction, surgical success rates, and follow-up time (p > 0.05). Patients of Group 4 had larger preoperative and postoperative deviation, while Group 1 had smaller (p < 0.05). The surgical success rates of Groups 1, 2, 3, 4 were 90%, 75%, 76.9%, and 50%, respectively (p = 0.192). Statistically, no factor was found to be effective in surgical success rates (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Surgical treatment of consecutive XT is successful in most of the patients with numerous surgical options performed on a single eye in a single session. Patients, particularly with a high amount of deviation should be warned about the possibility of additional surgery.Item Central corneal thickness in type II diabetes mellitus: is it related to the severity of diabetic retinopathy?(2015) Toygar, Okan; Sizmaz, Selcuk; Pelit, Aysel; Toygar, Baha; Yabas Kiziloglu, Ozge; Akova, Yonca; 26281334Background/aim: To compare the central corneal thickness (CCT) of type II diabetes mellitus patients with age- and sex-matched healthy subjects and to determine the association of the severity of diabetic retinopathy and CCT. Materials and methods: Type II diabetes mellitus patients without retinopathy, with nonproliferative retinopathy, and with proliferative retinopathy were organized as the three subgroups of the study group, and an age-and sex-matched control group was formed. All subjects underwent full ophthalmological examination and CCT measurement with ultrasonographic pachymetry. CCT values were compared between diabetic and healthy subjects and between the three diabetic subgroups. Correlation analysis was performed to determine any relationship between CCT and intraocular pressure. Results: The average CCT was significantly higher in diabetic patients than in the control group (P = 0.04). CCT in diabetic patients without retinopathy did not significantly differ from that of patients with retinopathy (P = 0.64). Similarly, there was no significant difference in CCT between nonproliferative and proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients (P = 0.47). In the whole study population, CCT was significantly correlated with intraocular pressure (P < 0.01). Conclusion: CCT is significantly increased in type II diabetes mellitus patients with respect to controls. Retinal disease severity does not seem to have an effect on corneal thickness.
