RÉSUMÉ
Objective: Various neurological complications have been reported after COVID-19. The study aimed to document an unusual case of Adie's tonic pupil following COVID-19. Methods: The study was a case report. Results: A 28-year-old female had suffered a flu-like disease about 2 months before and the SARSCoV-2 polymerase chain reaction test at that time was positive. Two weeks after infection she noticed an asymmetry between the pupils. The only pathological finding on examination was anisocoria with a larger left pupil in ambient light. Light reflexes were observed in the right eye, while in the left eye, they were absent. Also, there was no near response in the left pupil. A 0.1% pilocarpine test results validated Adie's pupil diagnosis. After one year of follow-up, the anisocoria decreased but did not completely recover. Discussion: COVID-19 may cause damage to neural structures due to autoimmune ways by activating immune pathways or because of vascular complications that may affect the vasa nervorum. Adie's tonic pupil is often idiopathic, but it may develop following viral infection. Conclusions: Ocular complications that involve pupil abnormalities may manifest following COVID-19. In the cases of Adie's tonic pupil, infectious diseases, including COVID-19, should be questioned. Abbreviations: RT PCR = reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyze the changes in the effective optical zones (EOZ) using topographic techniques on the tangential curvature difference map at post-operative 1-year following transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (T-PRK) and to identify parameters linked to the EOZ alterations. Methods: The study comprised 55 eyes of 55 myopic patients who underwent T-PRK. EOZs were measured using the tangential curvature difference map of the Scheimpflug tomography system. Correlations between the EOZ alterations and relevant parameters were assessed. Results: The EOZ was significantly lower than the programmed optical zone (p<0.001). The decrease in the EOZ was significantly relevant to the decrease in mean keratometry (p=0.01, B/95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.139/0.033 and 0.244, standardized Beta: 0.346) and the increase in maximum keratometry (p=0.003, B/95% CI: 0.072/0.026 and 0.118, standardized Beta: 0.406). Conclusion: The EOZ decreased in the 1st year after T-PRK in eyes with myopia. The decrease in the EOZ was correlated positively with the decrease in mean and maximum keratometry. T-PRK may be an effective and safe surgery for the correction of mild-to-moderate myopia.
RÉSUMÉ
PURPOSE: To compare the effective optical zones (EOZs) of small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (F-LASIK) by utilizing topographic methods on the tangential curvature difference map at postoperative 1 year and to identify parameters linked to the EOZ alterations following both surgeries. METHODS: Myopic patients who underwent SMILE or F-LASIK were included in the study. Patients with refractive error greater than -9.0 D sphere or -0.50 D of astigmatism were excluded from the study. EOZs were measured at postoperative 1 year by using the tangential curvature difference map of the Scheimpflug tomography system. Correlations between the EOZ alterations and relevant parameters were assessed. RESULTS: In total, 59 eyes in the SMILE group and 65 eyes in the F-LASIK group were assessed. The decrease in EOZ compared with the programmed optical zone was significantly higher in the F-LASIK group ( P < 0.001). The increase in corneal asphericity was significantly relevant to the decrease in EOZin both groups according to the multiple regression analysis ( P < 0.001, B/95% CI: 0.62/0.34 and 0.90, standardized-Beta: 0.587 for the SMILE group; P < 0.001, B/95% CI: 0.74/0.41 and 1.07, standardized-Beta: 0.631 for the F-LASIK group). CONCLUSION: The EOZ decreased 1 year after both SMILE and F-LASIK. The SMILE group showed less EOZ reduction than F-LASIK patients relative to the programmed optical zone. The decrease in EOZ was correlated with the increase in corneal asphericity in both groups.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term refractive outcomes of Eyecryl posterior chamber spherical phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation in high myopia and endothelial cell density (ECD) change. SETTING: Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. DESIGN: Retrospective. METHODS: Eyes that were not suitable for corneal refractive surgery, had high myopia between -6.00 diopters (D) and -20.00 D, had Eyecryl posterior chamber spherical pIOL implantation, and had at least 5 years of follow-up were included. Preoperative ECD was ≥2300 cells/mm 2 and cylindrical value was ≤2.0 D in all cases. Preoperative and postoperative first, third, and fifth years of refraction, uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA/CDVA), and ECD were recorded. RESULTS: 36 eyes of 18 patients were examined. The mean UDVA and CDVA in postoperative fifth years were 0.24 ± 0.19 logMAR and 0.12 ± 0.18 logMAR, respectively. The safety and efficacy indices were 1.52 ± 0.54 and 1.14 ± 0.38, respectively. At 5 years, the spherical equivalent was ±0.50 D in 75% of eyes and ±1.00 D in 92% of eyes. After 5 years, the mean cumulative ECD loss was 6.91% ( P = .07). The annual ECD loss was 1.57% in the first year, 0.26% between 1 year and 3 years, and 2.38% between 3 years and 5 years. Asymptomatic anterior capsule opacity developed in 1 eye 4 years after surgery. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment developed in 1, and myopic choroidal neovascular membrane occurred in 1 eye. CONCLUSIONS: Eyecryl posterior chamber spherical pIOL implantation is one of the effective and safe refractive surgical methods in correcting high myopia with predictable and stable refractive results over a 5-year period. Longer-term studies are needed for complications such as decreased ECD, retinal complications, and lens opacity.
