BackgroundCataract is the leading cause of blindness globally. Effective cataract surgical coverage (eCSC) measures number people in a population who have been operated on for cataract, and had good outcome, as proportion all or requiring surgery. Therefore, eCSC describes service access (ie, coverage, [CSC]) adjusted quality. The 74th World Health Assembly endorsed global target 30-percentage point increase by 2030. To enable monitoring progress towards this target, we analysed Rapid...
We undertook a Grand Challenges in Global Eye Health prioritisation exercise to identify the key issues that must be addressed improve eye health context of an ageing population, eliminate persistent inequities health-care access, and mitigate widespread resource limitations.Drawing on methods used previous studies, we multi-step recruitment strategy assemble diverse panel individuals from range disciplines relevant global all regions globally participate three-round, online, Delphi-like,...
<h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the prevalence and causes of blindness visual impairment, diabetes mellitus diabetic retinopathy among people aged ≥50 years in Republic Moldova using Rapid Assessment Avoidable Blindness plus Diabetic Retinopathy ('RAAB+DR') techniques. <h3>Materials Methods</h3> 111 communities were randomly selected. In addition to standard RAAB procedures all with (previous history disease or a random blood glucose level >11.1 mm/L (200 mg/dL)), dilated fundus...
Purpose This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and main causes of blindness visual impairment in population aged 50 years older Armenia using Rapid Assessment Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) methodology.Methods The team randomly selected clusters (each consisting people) from all 11 regions Armenia. Data on participants' demographics, presenting acuity, pinhole principal cause spectacle coverage, uncorrected refractive error (URE), presbyopia were collected RAAB survey form. Four teams...
Abstract Background Strabismus is a complex disease that has various treatment approaches each with its own advantages and drawbacks. In this context, shared decisions making (SDM) communication process the provider sharing all relevant alternatives, benefits, risks of procedure, while patient shares preferences values regarding his/her choices. way, SDM bidirectional goes beyond typical informed consent. Therefore, it known little extent to which influences satisfaction outcome along...
ABSTRACTPurpose This study assessed the prevalence of cataract blindness, surgical coverage (CSC), effective CSC, visual outcome after surgery, and barriers to surgery in a population aged 50 years older Armenia using Rapid Assessment Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) methodology.Methods The sample included 2258 individuals who were randomly selected from 11 provinces 2019 following RAAB methodology. team clusters, people each. survey form was used collect information on surgery.Results mean age...
To reveal the reasons for strabismus surgery delay and motivations seeking surgical treatment in adulthood. Prospective survey among 91 adult patients, suffering from concomitant acquired childhood that underwent delayed surgery. The mean age of participants was 24 years (from 16 to 58 years); 48 females (52.7%), 43 males (47.3%). Strabismus has been about 20 patients who could potentially benefit it childhood. most common delay, reported by included following: lack awareness (37.4%);...
Purpose: Reliable data on eye care needs in Kyrgyzstan are not readily available. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and causes blindness visual impairment persons aged 50 above southwest support Ministry Health (MoH) planning region.Methods: A population-based survey conducted three states (Oblast) region Kyrgyzstan. Sixty clusters people years older were selected by probability proportionate size sampling. Ethical approval obtained from MoH, consent each...
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and rate newly detected pediatric manifest strabismus cases in Republic Moldova. A descriptive conducted data about number children that passed prophylactic ophthalmological examination every year (children 3 months– 17 years), new found annually under evidence were collected from Health Family Centers Northern, Southern, Central districts period performed 2011– 2017. 1.3%. diagnosed 0.2%, with a higher ratio for esotropia versus...
Purpose: In this study the results of consecutive exotropia surgical treatment by using different technics are presented. Methods: This included 34 patients, aged 21 to 47 years (mean 27.9), who underwent medial rectus muscle advancement alone or in combination with resection and/or lateral recession. The mean interval between original surgery and for was 8.5 (range: 5.5 14 years). Most patients had 2 more prior surgeries (73.5%) sold an adduction deficit (47.06%). Results: overall...
Background Many surgical formulas have been developed and proposed based on the experience of surgeons to improve predictability strabismus surgery. However, consent among regarding dose effect extraocular muscle (EOM) recession or resection was not achieved yet disagreement about appropriate amount surgery still exists. Objective Our study aimed propose an instrument for EOM (RsL) length (RcL) estimation before second elaborate postoperative angle deviation (PAD) predictive model using...
Purpose: It has been promoted that disturbance of ocular proprioception may play a role in the pathogenesis concomitant strabismus and other types oculomotor anomalies. The aim study was to obtain knowledge about how surgical foreshortening myotendinous region potentially affects proprioceptors resides this area muscles test hypothesis avoiding disruption result more favorable long term postoperative result. Patients Methods: distal end lateral medial rectus from patients with manifest...
This paper reflects a personal conclusions on person-centred care practice, based my own research in strabismus field. Theoretical and practical considerations of the approach are discussed. Health services struggle to ensure health “person-centered” way, but general concept also called personcentered is an ethical one: patients should be treated as “persons.” Person-centred practice needs well facilitated order flourish healthcare framework. However, literature sometimes unclear about...
Background: In order to involve patients in collaborative decisions (SDM), they need know the treatment options and determine patient’s preferences from doctors. This process is a must be evaluated Republic of Moldova. Objective: The study’s aim was evaluate Shared Decision Making adult strabismus care both patients’ physicians’ perspectives. Material methods: A prospective, transversal study conducted. Sixty nine their attending physician were asked fill out SDM-9 SDM-9-DOC questionnaires...
Background: The tissue engineering is the evolving science that combines cells, biomaterials and biochemical factors aimed at restoring, maintaining substituting different types of tissue. An important role played by use stem cells in various fields medicine, including ophthalmology, namely cases retinopathies optic nerve atrophy. Conclusions: Current treatment atrophy based on etiological causes or late complications. Considering availability advanced therapies, cell therapy offers a new...
