    (2017) Kal, Ali; Ulusoy, Mahmut Oguz; Horasanli, Bahriye; Cezairlioglu, Sefik; Kal, Oznur; 0000-0002-7751-4961; 0000-0001-7544-5790; 0000-0003-3142-1011; 28619430; AAJ-7586-2021; AAJ-4936-2021
    Objective: Using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), to compare the choroidal thickness in a healthy population (group 1), with newly diagnosed multiple sclerosis (MS) patients (group 2), with MS patients who underwent beta-interferon monotherapy (group 3) and MS patients who underwent fingolimod therapy for 1 year (group 4) Methods: Twenty-five control subjects (25 eyes), 24 newly diagnosed (24 eyes) MS patients, 22 MS patients who underwent fingolimod monotherapy for 1 year (22 eyes), and 24 MS patients who underwent beta-interferon monotherapy for 1 year (24 eyes) were included in this study. The control group consisted of age- and gender matched healthy individuals. The choroidal thickness measurements were performed using a high-speed and high-resolution SD-OCT device. The choroidal thickness measurements were compared using a One Way Anova and Post-Hoc Tukey test. Results: Ninety-five eyes of 95 participants were included in this study. The mean age of the control group was 27.83 +/- 4.60, and it was 26.83 +/- 6.79, 27.87 +/- 6. 46 and 27.58 +/- 6.65 in the newly diagnosed MS group, fingolimod group and beta-interferon group, respectively. In fingolimod group N-1000, N-1500 and T-1500 was significantly lower than control group. (p = 0.026, p = 0.06 p = 0.13) Conclusion: Choroidal thickness values at N-1000, N-1500 and T-1500 levels in fingolimod group were found lower than in control but higher than in newly diagnosed MS group. This result can be explained with the therapeutic effect of the fingolimod on MS.

    Effect of Dry Eye on Scheimpflug Imaging of the Cornea and Elevation Data
    (2017) Asena, Leyla; Alnors, Dilek D.; Cezairlioglu, Sefik; Boluk, Sefer Oguen; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6848-203X; 28576215; E-5914-2016
    Objective: To evaluate the effect of dry eye on Scheimpflug imaging of the cornea and elevation data. Design: Prospective observational study. Participants: Scheimpflug images of 50 patients with dry eye who were being tested for eligibility for corneal refractive surgery were screened. Twelve eyes of 12 patients with abnormal Belin/Ambrosio enhanced ectasia display (BAD) anterior elevation difference were included in the study. The patients had no history of contact lens wear or any other sign of ectasia. Methods: Peak central corneal densitometry value, corneal volume, pachymetry at the thinnest point, and BAD anterior elevation difference value at the centre of the 9 mm zone were recorded before and after 4 weeks of dry eye treatment. Measurements were compared with the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: The mean corneal peak densitometry and volume were similar before and after therapy (p = 0.465 and p = 0.441, respectively). The mean anterior elevation difference value at the centre of the 9 mm zone before treatment (6.67 +/- 1.72 mu m) was significantly higher than the mean post-treatment value (4.00 +/- 1.48 mu m) (p = 0.002). The mean pachymetry at the thinnest location after treatment (548 +/- 11.0) was significantly higher than the pretreatment value (538 +/- 8.5) (p = 0.027). Conclusions: BAD anterior elevation differences and pachymetric measurements may be affected by ocular surface or tear film abnormalities associated with dry eye disease. Repeated evaluations after treatment may reveal normal results.

    Evaluation of Dry Eye Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease Undergoing Hemodialysis
    (2018) Kal, Oznur; Ulusoy, Mahmut Oguz; Kal, Ali; Tanriaski, Gulsah; Cezairlioglu, Sefik; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7751-4961; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7544-5790; 29205873; AAJ-7586-2021; AAJ-4936-2021
    The aim of the present study was to evaluate dry eye parameters with conventional tests and tear meniscus with Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Thirty-eight ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis, and 40 healthy individuals were enrolled. An ocular surface disease index questionnaire (OSDI) was administered. Before conventional dry eye tests, tear meniscus were evaluated using AS-OCT. After a complete ocular examination, Schirmer and break-up time (BUT) tests were performed and probable corneal staining was investigated. Schirmer test and BUT values were significantly lower in ESRD patients (P<0.05). OSDI scores and corneal staining scores were significantly higher in ESRD patients (P<0.05). Tear meniscus height, tear meniscus depth, and tear meniscus area, which were obtained by AS-OCT were significantly lower in patients with ESRD (P<0.05). Tear meniscus evaluation using AS-OCT is an effective and non-invasive method to assess tear meniscus in patients with ESRD. Patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis should obtain regular ophthalmic examination, especially for dry eye.

    The Diagnostic Ability of Ganglion Cell Complex Thickness-to-Total Retinal Thickness Ratio in Glaucoma in a Caucasian Population
    (2020) Sezenoz, Almila Sarigul; Gungor, Sirel Gur; Akman, Ahmet; Ozturk, Caner; Cezairlioglu, Sefik; Aksoy, Mustafa; Colak, Meric; 0000-0002-0294-6874; 0000-0002-7030-5454; 0000-0001-6178-8362; 0000-0003-1513-7686; 0000-0002-1507-8148; 32167260; AAA-4360-2021; AAJ-4860-2021; AAD-5967-2021
    Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the macular ganglion cell complex-to-total retinal thickness (G/T) ratio in a Caucasian population. Materials and Methods: A total of 86 patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Patients were divided into 4 groups: healthy; ocular hypertension; preperimetric glaucoma; and early glaucoma. Macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC) thickness, total retinal thickness, and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) in one randomly selected eye of each patient were measured with measured with Heidelberg HD spectral domain optical coherence tomography (Heidelberg Engineering, Inc., Heidelberg, Germany). G/T ratio (%) was calculated as (mGCC thickness / total retinal thickness) x100. The ability of each parameter to diagnose glaucoma was examined by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) analysis and sensitivity evaluation at a fixed level of specificity. Unpaired t test was used to compare the measured values between the healthy subjects and the different patient groups. Results: The study included 9 healthy individuals, 18 patients with ocular hypertension, 28 with preperimetric glaucoma, and 31 with early glaucoma. Total retinal thickness, mGCC thickness, RNFLT, and G/T ratio were highest in the healthy group and decreased progressively in patients with ocular hypertension, preperimecric glaucoma, and early glaucoma. All comparisons between the groups were significant for these parameters (p<0.001 for all). Average RNFLT, average GCC, and total retinal thickness showed consistently higher AUROC than G/T ratio in the differentiation between healthy individuals and patients with ocular hypertension, preperimetric glaucoma, and early glaucoma. Conclusion: G/T ratio does not contribute to separation of ocular hypertension, preperimetric glaucoma, and early glaucoma patients from the healthy population. Compared to the other parameters investigated, G/T had lower diagnostic value
