INTRODUCTION: Sustained-release intraocular implants provide a therapeutic option for open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) patients who are non-compliant with eyedrops. Currently, there are no published patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures that assess treatment satisfaction with intraocular implants. To address this gap, a new PRO instrument, the Allergan Satisfaction with Treatment Experience Questionnaire (ASTEQ), has been developed in accordance with Food and Drug Administration guidance...

Glaucoma is a leading cause of vision loss. First line therapy for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) are topical ocular hypotensive drops. Patient adherence with topical therapy for glaucoma is a significant challenge with a reported adherence of 60%. The purpose of this review is to discuss factors associated with glaucoma adherence (including demographic factors, cost, patient education, health beliefs, treatment burden and regimen, and physical limitations) and to explore potential interventions to improve medication adherence...

INTRODUCTION: Optic disc drusen (ODD) are acellular deposits in the optic nerve head, which are most often benign and asymptomatic. Patients may develop visual field defects and be at increased risk of ischemic co-morbidities. As ODD can be difficult to distinguish from papilledema, patients are at risk of unnecessary clinical workups. Patient information is a key aspect of ODD management. In this study, we explored the accuracy of ChatGPT responses for typical patient questions on ODD...

INTRODUCTION: The factors related to the ocular penetration of drugs after the administration of eye drops in humans have not been examined in detail. Therefore, this study assessed the influence of patient factors on the intraocular penetration of eye drops. METHODS: A pooled analysis was performed on the data of 42 participants from three studies to evaluate the ocular pharmacokinetics in humans after the topical application of brimonidine-related eye drops. The patients were scheduled for vitrectomy and received brimonidine-related eye drops (0...

INTRODUCTION: Generative pretrained transformer-4 (GPT-4) has gained widespread attention from society, and its potential has been extensively evaluated in many areas. However, investigation of GPT-4's use in medicine, especially in the ophthalmology field, is still limited. This study aims to evaluate GPT-4's capability to identify rare ophthalmic diseases in three simulated scenarios for different end-users, including patients, family physicians, and junior ophthalmologists. METHODS: We selected ten treatable rare ophthalmic disease cases from the publicly available EyeRounds service...

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a safe and popular corneal surgery performed worldwide. Nevertheless, there is potential risk of corneal haze development after surgery. Proper management of post PRK haze is important for good visual outcome. We performed a comprehensive review of the literature on the various risk factors and treatments for PRK haze, searching the PubMed, Google Scholar, SCOPUS, ScienceDirect, and Embase databases using relevant search terms. All articles in English from August 1989 through April 2023 were reviewed for this study, among which 102 articles were chosen to be included in the study...

INTRODUCTION: Measurement of the largest basal dimension (LBD) of intraocular tumors is important as a prognostic parameter. To evaluate the potential value of true color ultra-widefield fundus photography for measuring tumors, we compared LBD measurements of choroidal and retinal tumors using a color ultra-widefield fundus camera with clinical estimation based on indirect ophthalmoscopy and standardized ophthalmic ultrasound. METHODS: The LBD of 148 choroidal and retinal tumors in 148 patients seen at Tongren Hospital were measured using ultra-widefield fundus photography and compared with measurements obtained using B-scan ultrasonography and clinical estimates based on indirect ophthalmoscopy...
