    Conjunctivitis due to Neisseria sicca: A case report
    (Medknow Publications & Media Pvt Ltd, 2014) Eser, Ilker; Alper Akçalı; Tatman-Otkun, Muserref; Taskiran-Comez, Arzu
    We report the first case, in Medline-based literature, of conjunctivitis caused by gram negative diplococcus, Neisseria sicca. Although it is not widely accepted as such, isolation from cultures of repeated eye swab samples suggests that N. sicca may be a pathogen in conjunctival infections. Positive culture for this organism should not be readily dismissed. Such conjunctivitis responded favorably to treatment with netilmicin eye drops.

    Phakic anterior chamber lenses in very high myopia: an 18-month follow up
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012) Akcay, Levent; Eser, Ilker; Kaplan, Aysin T.; Taskiran-Comez, Arzu; Dogan, Omer K.
    Background: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of two different foldable anterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses for high myopia. Background: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of two different foldable anterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses for high myopia. Design: A prospective interventional case series at the Eye Clinic, Kartal Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. Participants: Sixty-two eyes of 31 patients received iris-claw lens (group 1) (Artiflex AC 401, Ophtec), and 43 eyes of 22 patients received angle-supported lens (group 2) (I-Care, Corneal). Methods: The mean preoperative spherical equivalents for group 1 and group 2 were -12.13 D and -18.95 D, respectively. Endothelial cell density was measured at day 1 and at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 18 months for follow ups. Main Outcome Measures: Percentage change in endothelial cell density and improvement in visual acuity. Results: At the 18-months follow up, uncorrected visual acuity improved to logMAR 0.37 +/- 0.23 from 1.60 +/- 0.10 in group 1, and logMAR 0.47 +/- 0.14 from 0.70 +/- 0.20 in group 2; best spectacle corrected visual acuity improved to logMAR 0.23 +/- 0.22 from logMAR 0.36 +/- 0.14) in group 1, and logMAR 0.29 +/- 0.18 from logMAR 0.50 +/- 0.20) in group 2 (P < 0.001, in both groups). Mean decreased endothelial cell density was 241 cells/mm(2) (8.61%) and 223 cells/mm(2) (8.42%) at 18 months follow up in group 1 and 2, respectively (P = 0.17) but significant in comparison to preoperative values for both groups (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Although both iris-claw and angle-supported lenses offer good refractive outcomes significant endothelial cell density was observed at 18 months follow up.
