Unlocking the secrets of success in probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction: investigating the factors that matter
ConclusionThe study found that probing performed within the first 36 months had high success rates regardless of age and type of obstruction. However, the success rate significantly decreased in patients undergoing probing for ICO at 36 months or later. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

The association of symptomatic vitreous floaters with depression and anxiety
ConclusionVitreous floaters have a negative impact on patients ’ psychological status, by the terms of enhanced depressive and anxiety levels. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first in the literature to elaborate the aforementioned association, by assessing three different questionnaires simultaneously.

Comparison of the cytokines levels in aqueous humor in vitrectomized eyes versus non-vitrectomized eyes with diabetic macular edema
ConclusionsThe concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 in the aqueous humor were significantly higher in vitrectomized DME eyes compared to nonvitrectomized DME eyes and the levels of VEGF were similar in the two groups, suggesting that inflammation after vitrectomy may be a key factor in the occurrence and development of DME.

Clinical features, management, and outcomes of patients with sterile endophthalmitis associated with intravitreal bevacizumab injection: retrospective case series
ConclusionSterile endophthalmitis may occur after IVB injection. Differential diagnosis of sterile endophthalmitis from infective endophthalmitis is crucial to adjust the appropriate treatment and prevent long-term complications due to unnecessary treatment. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

A case of choroidal neovascularization as a first manifestaion of systemic lupus erythematosus
ConclusionBased on the findings from the fundus exam and imaging, systemic symptoms and the blood work-up, we postulate that the pigment epitheliopathy associated with choroidal neovascularization was related to the vaso-occlusive disease at the level of the choroid that can be part of SLE vasculopathy. To our knowledge, this represents the first case in which pigment epitheliopathy and CNV were the primary manifestations of SLE. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

The effect of sodium hyaluronate on dry eye and corneal epithelial thickness following cataract surgery
ConclusionIn the patient group using sodium hyaluronate, significant differences were determined in all dry eye parameters and CCET. The use of hyaluronate sodium drops after cataract surgery was seen to improve dry eye parameters and contribute to a healthy ocular surface by ensuring continuity of the corneal epithelium.

New suture probe canaloplasty combined with suprachoroidal collagen implantation
ConclusionNew suture probe canaloplasty with ScD and collagen sheet implantation yields the opportunity to conduct a cost-effective canaloplasty easier and less complicated than with the previously described method with the twisted 6/0 suture. The safety profile and IOP lowering effect is comparable. In cases where complete probing fails, there is still the opportunity to switch to suture trabeculotomy over the majorly probed part of Schlemm ’s canal. The pressure lowering effect of the deep sclerectomy with ScD and suprachoroidal collagen sheet implant seems to have an additional impact on the sufficient pressure loweri...
