(Turkish Ophthalmological Soc, 2009) Yener, Halil Ibrahim; Gul, Adem; Yasar, Tekin; Cinal, Adnan
Purpose: To report cataract cases along three generation in a large family. Introduce: Hereditary cataracts can be divided into two groups as congenital or developmental. Congenital cataracts can be seen with systemic diseases or as isolated in one third. Congenital cataract is still one of the most important treatable causes of blindness in childhood period. The proportion of blindness is 5-15/10 000 in developing countries and 1-4/10 000 in developed countries. The ratio of blindness related to cataract is 1-4/10 000 in developing versus 0,1-0,4/10 000 in developed countries. Case: A grandfather, his 10 children and five grandchildren were examined. Patients who have cataract were operated. All subjects were investigated in terms of systemic disases. Grandfather who was aphakic visited clinic for getting new glasses. Patient had operated in childhood period. He said that his two children were also operated in both eyes. We called other family members for ophthalmologic examination. We found posterior subcapsular cataract in four children and two grandchildren. None of these patients had systemic disases. conclusion: In cases of congenital or developmental cataracts, the relatives also must be examined and if needed intervention may be needed.

(Turkish Ophthalmological Soc, 2010) Gul, Adem; Kilic, Adil; Yener, Halil Ibrahim; Demirok, Ahmet; Cinal, Adnan
Purpose: The aim of this study was, by analyzing data from uveitis patients living in Van province or referred from the surrounding provinces (i.e. Agri, Mus, Hakkari, Igdir and Bitlis), to reveal the profile of uveitis in that district. Material and Method: In this study, we retrospectively investigated 855 eyes of 678 uveitis patients who were examined and followed in Yuzuncu Yil University, Ophthalmology Department between 1996 and 2008. Results: The mean age of the patients was 29.86 +/- 16.01 (range 1-79) years. 403 (59.4%) were male and 275 (40.6%) patients were female. Monocular involvement was present in 501 (73.9%), while binocular involvement was observed in 177 (26.1%) patients. According to the involved area, 395 (58.3%) patients had anterior, 85 (12.5%) intermediate, 33 (4.9%) posterior and 165 (24.3%) patients had panuveitis. No accompanying findings were detected in 406 (59.9%) patients. The most frequent accompanying disease was Behcet's disease seen in 109 (16.1%) patients. Discussion: In this study, the profile of uveitis of Van and the surrounding provinces was revealed. We think that this study is important, because it reflects the profile of uveitis of the Eastern part and together with data obtained from the other parts of Turkey, it will contribute to the development of uveitis map of the country.
Results of Traumatic Cataract Surgery After Penetrating Corneal Trauma With Corneal Healing Without Suturing
(Turkish Ophthalmological Soc, 2010) Caglar, Cagatay; Yener, Halil Ibrahim; Gul, Adem; Yasar, Tekin
Purpose: To evaluate the preoperative signs, complications of cataract surgery and visual outcomes in cases of corneal healing without suturing after penetrating corneal trauma. Material and Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of 68 eyes (68 patients) with traumatic cataract after penetrating corneal trauma with a penetrating object, and which corneal healing was achieved without suture. All patients underwent traumatic cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in our clinic. Patient demographics, causes of injury, corneal wound categories, interval of subsequent IOL implantation, preoperative visual acuity, postoperative best-corrected visual acuity, and preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative complications were analyzed in all patients. Patients were divided into two groups: the first group was composed of emergently admitted patients after ocular trauma, while the second group included subjects with decreased visual acuity in the late period. Results: The mean age of the patients was 12.97 +/- 13.16 years (range, 2.5-67). Most patients were children or young men. The most common etiological agents of penetrating ocular trauma were wood (30.8 %), sharp metal object (22%) and injector needle (8.8 %). The mean preoperative and postoperative visual acuities were 0.02 +/- 0.05 (Snellen) and 0.5 +/- 0.36, respectively. The mean visual improvement after traumatic cataract surgery and IOL implantation was statistically significant (p<0.05). Thirty-six eyes (53%) achieved final best-corrected visual acuity of 0.4 or better. Discussion: Satisfying results in visual outcome can be seen with appropriate treatment and close follow-up after traumatic cataract surgery in cases of penetrating corneal trauma with corneal healing achieved without suturing.
