Introduction: Ocular changes and ocular symptoms may be encountered in patients with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. However, the data concerning the effects of thyroid disorders on intraocular pressure (IOP), central corneal thickness (CCT), and retinal thickness (RT) are very rare. Here, we aimed to evaluate the alterations in IOP, CCT, and RT in patients with euthyroid autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT).Methods: Twenty-five subjects with euthyroid AIT w...

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in the world. Retinopathy and nephropathy can still progress in diabetics despite optimal metabolic control. The aim of the present study was to determine whether different degrees of DR (proliferative or non-proliferative) were associated with abnormally modulated hemostatic parameters in patients with type 1 DM.Method: 52 type 1 diabetic patients and 40 healthy controls were enroll...

Introduction: Ocular changes are common in various endocrine disorders. However, there are only few studies reporting ocular changes in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Here, we examined central corneal thickness (CCT) and retinal thickness (RT), intraocular pressure (IOP) and their relationships with serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), calcium (Ca), and phosphorus levels in PHPT patients.Methods: Thirty-seven patients with PHPT wer...
