Short-term results of these new methods are acceptable; studies including more cases with longer follow-up are needed to determine their long-term success. [J Cataract Refract Surg. 2016;32(9):586-597.].

Prediabetic factors including impaired FBG, increased hemoglobinA1C, and BMI are independent risk factors for increase in choroidal thickness. Increased macular choroidal thickness may be the earliest determiner to detect the onset of diabetic retinopathy in prediabetes.

Idiopathic and secondary ERMs were estimated to differ significantly at the time of diagnosis in terms of age, visual acuities, macular thickness, presence of cystoid macular degeneration, and posterior vitreous detachment. These parameters may assist the retinal surgeon in the treatment process of ERM.

In OSAHS patients, PPCT, CMCT, and RNFL were significantly thinner compared with the control group. These results may explain why OSAHS patients are prone to normotensive glaucoma.

The macular and peripapillary choroidal thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer, and total retinal volume of the macula were significantly higher in acromegaly patients. Increased choroidal thickness may cause different macular pathologies such as choroidal neovascularization. RNFL results may be important in acromegaly patients with glaucoma, especially if the progress of glaucoma is monitored by OCT.

In this study, we observed chronic migraine disease does not have any effect on peripapillary RNFL thickness; however, increases in CT and decreases in GCL thickness were observed in migraine patients.

Purpose: To investigate the graft survival rate and factors affecting graft survival in patients with congenital glaucoma who underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PKP).Materials and Methods: Patients with congenital glaucoma who underwent PKP were retrospectively evaluated. The associations between age, corneal diameter, presence of ocular comorbidities, concurrent ocular surgeries with corneal graft, and visual outcomes were assessed.Results: Among the 30 eyes enrolled in the study, 6 (20%) had aniridia, 6 (20%) had Axenfeld–Rieger syndrome, and 18 (60%) were diagnosed with primary congenital glaucoma. Graft survival rates were 66.6% and 63.33% at 12 and 24 months, respectively. At the end of the follow-up, the overall graft survival rate was 60%. Statistical significance was observed between patient age at the time of surgery and graft failure (p=0.02). Graft failure was associated with a younger patient age. Functional vision was achieved in 53.3% of patients.Conclusions: Management of congenital glaucoma and its corneal complications is a delicate issue that requires great effort. PKP in congenital glaucoma was moderately successful in the present study. To provide functional vision, PKP could be the treatment of choice.
