    Abstract: It is known that histamine is neurotransmitter of the retinopetal axons that originate from the tuberomamillary nucleus of the posterior hypothalamus, but its role in visual information processing in the retina is not well understood. The aim of this study was to give insight into the significance that histamine has for the distal retina function r... Show More

    Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show a new cause of a macular scotoma and an anomalous acquired color-vision deficiency in the clinical fovea caused by retina detachments and subsequent surgeries. This deficiency was measured with a visual test system composed of multiple lasers, a white light beam and dozens of targets that were projected on a com... Show More

    Abstract: Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a therapeutic procedure that helps in increasing the corneal stiffness in the keratoconus eyes. It increases the collagen cross linking within the extracellular matrix (ECM). Ultraviolet-A (370 nm) irradiation of the cornea after saturation with the photosensitizer riboflavin is used. A minimum deepithelializ... Show More

    Abstract: Aim: Several techniques of scleral fixated-intraocular lens have been developed. We evaluate visual outcomes and safety of two different techniques of scleral fixated-intraocular lens in the setting of postoperative and post-traumatic aphakia. Methods: This retrospective study included 22 eyes of 22 patients, who had secondary IOL implantation surg... Show More

    Abstract: The aim of this report is to present the outcome of the surgical removal of a giant subfoveal retained perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL). The case is a 65 years old man undergone pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil implantation for macula-off superior retinal detachment about three months ago. He admitted our clinic with a complaint of gradual visua... Show More
