Purpose Patients are using online search modalities to learn about their eye health. While Google remains the most popular engine, use of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT has increased. Cataract surgery is common surgical procedure in US, and there limited data on quality information that populates after searches related cataract engines such as LLM platforms ChatGPT. We identified patient frequently asked questions (FAQs) cataracts evaluated accuracy, safety, readability answers...
To compare clinical assessment of diabetic eye disease by standard dilated examination with data gathered using a smartphone-based store-and-forward teleophthalmology platform.100 eyes 50 adult patients diabetes from health care safety-net ophthalmology clinic. All underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examination. Concurrently, smartphone was used to estimate near visual acuity and capture anterior posterior segment photographs, which masked, standardized review. Quantitative comparison clinic...
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the reduction in size experimentally induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) rat eyes treated with bevacizumab, poly(ethylene-glycol) (PEG)-bevacizumab conjugate (b-PEG), and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-encapsulated bevacizumab (b-PLGA). Methods: Forty-eight from 24 rats were divided into 4 groups 12 eyes. In each group, 3 assigned a treatment subgroup, receiving different injection—control, b-PEG, b-PLGA. all eyes, laser...
PurposeTo assess an association between cutaneous keloids, hypertrophic scarring, and fibrosis (KHF) with risk of post-operative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair.DesignRetrospective population-based cohort studyParticipantsPatients ≥ 18 years who underwent initial RD repair pars plana vitrectomy or without scleral buckle (SB) (Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) 67108), pneumatic retinopexy (67110), primary SB (67107) from January 1,...
To evaluate morphologic features and the evolution of inner retinal dimples using spectral domain optical coherence tomography after internal limiting membrane peeling.A single-center retrospective study in 43 eyes full-thickness macular hole surgery with peeling without adjunctive staining.Postoperatively, a total 210 were noted 37 (86%), mean 5.7 per eye (median, 5; range, 1-20), most frequently located inferotemporal quadrant (n = 122, 58%, P < 0.0001). At initial detection, dimple...
Because variation in care on weekends has been reported many surgical fields, it is of interest if variations were noted for patterns rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs).To assess the association between modality RRD repair and day week that patients receive a diagnosis or undergo repair.A retrospective claims-based cohort analysis was performed primary surgery 38 144 commercially insured United States who received incident January 1, 2008, December 31, 2016, underwent within 14 days...
To evaluate the readability, accountability, accessibility, and source of online patient education materials for treatment age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to quantify public interest in Syfovre geographic atrophy after US Food Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
To report the clinical features, treatment modalities, and visual outcomes in 12 eyes with endogenous Klebsiella pneumoniae endophthalmitis (EKPE).The medical records of all patients diagnosed EKPE at Stanford Hospital (Palo Alto, CA) Santa Clara Valley County (Santa Clara, from January 2000 to March 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.A total 10 (12 eyes) EKPE. The median age presentation was 56, 80% male, 30% non-Asian. Presenting acuities ranged 20/20 no light perception. Of received a tap...
Introduction . Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is a common vascular condition that results in intraocular inflammatory changes. Ultra wide field fluorescein angiography (UWFFA) imaging device can capture peripheral findings. The purpose of this study was to look for findings the fellow eye patients with BRVO using UWFFA. Methods Retrospective review diagnosed had both eyes imaged Images were graded other quadrants same as well all eye. Results Of 81 patients, 14 (17%) late leakage...
Purpose: To compare dilated smartphone-based imaging with a nonmydriatic, tabletop fundus camera as teleophthalmology screening tool for diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: This was single-institutional, cross-sectional, comparative-instrument study. Fifty-six patients at safety-net hospital underwent DR using standard, nonmydriatic photography (Nidek NM-1000) and smartphone lens adapter (Paxos Scope, Verana Health). Masked graders performed standardized photo grading. Quantitative...
Purpose Despite several publications on ophthalmic surgical cancellations discussing preventative causes in academic institutions, there remains a paucity of similar studies for safety-net hospitals. This study analyzed cancellation rates at county hospital over 10-year period.
Purpose: This work evaluates trends in achievement of women the retina field, through an analysis gender representation American Society Retina Specialists (ASRS). Methods: retrospective, longitudinal study spans 1983 to 2020. Historical data classified by male or female were collected from ASRS's overall membership, board directors and officers, recipients 4 society awards. The proportion each benchmark held was compared with prior decades since founding ASRS using Fisher’s exact test....
Objective The aim of this study was to understand the factors that ophthalmology trainees consider in pursuing vitreoretinal surgery (VRS) fellowship training. Methods This is a prospective observational survey study. Survey invitations were disseminated postgraduate year 4 (PGY)-4 residents at Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited residency programs and surgical retina fellows Association University Professors Ophthalmology Fellowship Compliance Committee-compliant...
Background: Pregnant patients with pre-existing diabetes mellitus (DM) are at increased risk for development or progression of existing diabetic retinopathy (DR). A quality improvement project was initiated to improve DR screening during pregnancy a safety net hospital. This article highlights the utility and generalizability our telemedicine-based model. Materials Methods: In April 2018, we implemented photographic retinal system in Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) clinic Santa Clara Valley...
A 37-year-old man presented with a chronic macula-involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Despite scleral buckle surgery, the eye had clinically apparent submacular fluid for prolonged period of time. By 1 year postoperatively, patient complete recovery visual function, residual ellipsoid layer changes on optical coherence tomography. [ Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina . 2014;45:474–477.]
