Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate if patients with bilateral cataract are more likely to have depression or anxiety symptoms when compared to age-and sex-matched volunteers who had already undergone bilateral uncomplicated cataract surgery in both eyes. Methods: Twenty patients who were diagnosed to have senile cataract in both eyes were included in the study. Furthermore, twenty volunteers who had already undergone bilateral uncomplicated cataract surgery were included. Patients with bilateral cataract were defined as “Group 1,” and volunteers with bilateral artificial monofocal intraocular lenses in the posterior chamber were defined as “Group 2.” Both Group 1 and Group 2 completed the “Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)” questionnaire. The scale was used to determine the anxiety and depression symptoms. Results: According to the HAD scale, in Group 1, 6 patients were detected as having mild depression symptoms, 2 moderate, and 6 severe. Furthermore, in Group 1, 5 patients were detected as having mild anxiety symptoms, 2 moderate, and 4 severe. In Group 1, high HAD scale scores were detected, which suggests a propensity toward depression and anxiety when compared to Group 2 (P=0.007, P<0.001, respectively). Conclusion: In our study, in patients diagnosed with bilateral senile cataract, high scores were detected with the HAD scale. Ophthalmologists should be familiar with the possibility of tendency of senile cataract patients to depression or anxiety and consider screening these patients for these symptoms and consider referring for counseling. Furthermore, psychiatrists could ask their patients about their visual acuity condition and refer them to an ophthalmologist to plan a timely surgery for cataract.

Fungi are among the most common agents of microbial keratitis, especially in developing countries and tropical regions. Early diagnosis and appropriate antifungal treatment are critical for clinical success in fungal keratitis (FK). A 35-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital because of the diagnosis of keratitis with resistant to topical antibacterial treatment. Her visual acuity was counting fingers at one meter for the right eye. Biomicroscopic examination revealed a large, white keratitis center with peripherally extension on cornea. Fungal hyphae were observed in microscopic examination and a filamentous fungus was isolated in culture of the corneal scrapings. It was identified as Scedosporium apiospermum by both phenotypic and molecular methods. She was treated with topical and oral voriconazole according to susceptibility testing result. It is important to early diagnosis, determine the causative agent and perform a susceptibility testing in FK. Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of sutureless amniotic membrane (AM) technique using a symblepharon ring-AM patch on the persistent epithelial defects and resistant to medical treatment. Two patients to whom an AM patch was applied to the ocular surface using a polymethyl methacrylate symblepharon ring due to corneal surface disorders are evaluated. The implantation of ring-AM was not complicated. Irritation and epithelial defect decreased in both cases. Eventually, vascularized leukoma developed. Ring-AM implantation is a non-invasive and easy procedure in the treatment of ocular surface disease. Ring-AM is an effective and safe biologic bandage in patients, who refuse surgical procedure or to whom surgery is contraindicated due to systemic diseases.

Bacillary layer detachment (BALAD) is a relatively new optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding described by the utili-zation of OCT and characterized by the separation within the photoreceptor inner segment. The most common ocular diseases associated with BALAD include Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada’s disease, neovascular age-related macular degeneration, and central serous chorioretinopathy, and it is frequently observed in inflammatory, infectious, traumatic, and mass lesions of the choroid. It usually has a benign course and can resolve spontaneously or with treatment in a very short time, accompanied by an increase in visual acuity. However, its prognostic significance is still contradictory, as studies with long-term follow-up have shown that BALAD is related with subretinal fibrosis. In this review, the anatomical definition, multimodal imaging findings, course, and prognosis of BALAD in various ocular diseases are discussed. Abstract
