Purpose: To quantify the foveal avascular zone and the whole, parafoveal, and foveal vessel density of superficial and deep capillary plexus in amblyopic eyes and age-matched controls and to compare the measurements. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 49 eyes from 17 patients with amblyopia and 21 healthy children (aged 6 to 16 years). Optical coherence tomography angiography was performed for all participants and superficial capillary plexus, deep capillary plexus, and foveal avascular zone were evaluated. Data from amblyopic eyes, fellow eyes with unilateral amblyopia, and control eyes were compared using the Mann–Whitney U test. Results: The mean patient age was 8.6 ± 2.5 years in the amblyopia group and 9.6 ± 2.9 years in the control group. The mean foveal avascular zone measurements were 0.251 ± 0.1 mm 2 in the amblyopia group and 0.291 ± 0.1 mm 2 in the control group. The whole, foveal, and parafoveal vessel densities of superficial capillary plexus were 48.8% ± 3.7%, 23.8% ± 8.8%, and 50.9% ± 4.6% in the amblyopia group and 48.4% ± 2.5%, 19.3% ± 5.4%, and 51.3% ± 2.7% in the control group. The whole, foveal, and parafoveal vessel densities of deep capillary plexus were 51.8% ± 4.3%, 37.6% ± 5.8%, and 54.8% ± 4.2% in the amblyopia group and 54.4% ± 3.2%, 34.9% ± 7.4%, and 56.8% ± 3.2% in the control group. No statistically significant difference was detected in all measurements. Conclusions: Assessment of the foveal avascular zone and vessel density of superficial capillary plexus and deep capillary plexus with optical coherence tomography angiography revealed no difference between amblyopic eyes, controls, and fellow eyes of patients with unilateral amblyopia.

Scheimpflug-Placido disc topographer detected significant changes in the AC parameters after LPI in all groups. However, compared with PACS and PAC, the PACG showed significant alterations in the AC parameters through 6 months.

Both the cross-like and circular Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy techniques induce similar visual and IOP changes. The circular technique is associated with a higher amount of energy used, more floater symptoms, and has a greater effect on macular thickness at one day after laser capsulotomy.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by vascular thrombosis or pregnancy morbidity. Ocular involvement in APS includes a broad spectrum of manifestations involving anterior and posterior segment or the presence of neuroophthalmologic features. Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a very rare finding, and in this report a case having NAION as the prevailing sign of APS is presented. A middle-aged women who presented with visual disturbances in her left eye (LE) and turned out to have the diagnosis of primary APS with the help of rheumatological investigations is discussed. She was treated with oral steroids for NAION in her LE. With systemic and rheumatological work-up, primary APS was diagnosed, and hydroxychloroquine, coumadin, and aspirin were started, after which she remained stable under control. Due to the important diagnostic and therapeutic implications of APS, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of NAION, particularly when the etiology is uncertain.
