Analysis of the capsular bend in posterior capsular opacification using anterior segment optical coherence tomography
ConclusionPCO types and CBA have a strong relationship with PCO score and intraocular lens-posterior capsule space. In PCO's eyes, CBA has a cut-off value of 96.85 °. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

Evaluating the accuracy of a cataract surgery simulation video in depicting patient experiences under conscious anesthesia
ConclusionsOur model reflects the wide range of subjective patient experiences during and after surgery. The high percentage of patients who found the video accurate in different ways suggests that, with more development, point-of-view cataract simulation videos could prove useful for educational or clinical use. Further research may be done to confirm the simulation ’s utility, by screening the video for subjects before operations. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

Identification of novel variants in Turkish families with non-syndromic congenital cataracts using whole-exome sequencing
ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, the present research is one of the limited numbers of studies in the Turkish population in which genetically heterogeneous non-syndromic CC was investigated using WES analysis. Novel variants that we identified inDNMBP,LSS, andWFS1 genes, which are rarely associated with the CC phenotype, have contributed to the mutation spectrum of this disease. Identifying the relevant molecular genetic etiology allows accurate genetic counseling to be provided to the families. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

Manual compass measurement and trigonometric determination of proptosis
ConclusionsCompared to CT, MCMATDP is rather consistent in proptosis measurement. The new method is feasible in clinical practice when measuring proptosis. With the development of non-contact intelligent measurement software and the continuous improvement in measurement accuracy, a non-invasive, simple, and inexpensive measurement mode is true based on the theory of MCMATDP.

Association of NLRPs with pathogenesis of dry age-related macular degeneration
ConclusionThe significant decrease in NLRP12 in dry AMD may become a breakthrough in the study of dry AMD and systemic chronic inflammatory response. However, NLRP3 may have a more important role in wet AMD. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

Parameters of a basic ophthalmic examination that can ensure proper timing of corneal crosslinking in patients with keratoconus
ConclusionsIt is advisable to refer patients with keratoconus to a specialized facility for CXL when either of the following conditions is present: (i) UCDVA (decimal visual acuity) ≥ 0.06 or (ii) CDVA (decimal visual acuity) ≥ 0.3. (Source: International Ophthalmology)
