BACKGROUND Development of human resources for eye health (HReH) is a major focus of the Global Action Plan 2014 to 2019 to reduce the prevalence of avoidable visual impairment by 25% by the year 2019. The eye health workforce is thought to be much smaller in sub-Saharan Africa than in other regions of the world but data to support this for policy-making is scarce. We collected HReH and cataract...

John Glasgow Kerr was the second director of First Western-Style Hospital in China, which an eye hospital. Xi Yi Yan Ke (Ophthalmology in Western Medicine), is translated and compiled by Dr. first published 1871 reprinted 1880, first western medical monograph on ophthalmology China. The book consists 53 sections, covering symptom inquiry, symptom examination, cataract surgery, ophthalmosco...

The purpose of this retrospective study is to measure machine learning models' ability predict glaucoma drainage device failure based on demographic information and preoperative measurements. medical records 165 patients were used. Potential predictors included the patients' race, age, sex, intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, number IOP-lowering medications, type previous ophthalmic surg...

Intra-operative optical coherence tomography (OCT) requires a display technology which allows surgeons to visualize OCT data without disrupting surgery. Previous research and commercial intrasurgical OCT systems have integrated heads-up display (HUD) systems into surgical microscopes to provide monoscopic viewing of OCT data through one microscope ocular. To take full advantage of our previousl...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to provide a comprehensive description of noise levels in operating rooms (ORs) in a tertiary care hospital in China. Additionally, the study aims to examine the deviation in noise levels from international and internal standards as well as the differences in noise levels by category of surgery and day of the week. METHODS We monitored noise levels in 23 ORs in a te...

purpose: to report a case of proteus syndrome with new ophthalmic findings not reported elsewhere. patient and findings: the patient is an 18-year-old girl with red lesions on hand and foot from birth and disproportionate growth of right upper and lower limbs from the first year of life. on examination, the patient has enlargement of the right upper and lower limb, macrodactyly, vascular malfor...

Background: Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial disease of pre-corneal tear film that results in ocular discomfort, visual disturbance and instability, with potential damage to the surface. The aim work was evaluate surface alterations related cataract surgery either phacoemulsification or extracapsular extraction surgeries.
 Methods: This prospective observational study included 60 patie...

Background: The study aims at assessing the advantages of Flexi laryngeal mask airway (Flexi LMA) over endotracheal intubation in minimizing the pressor response as well as the rise in intraocular pressure in paediatric patients undergoing ophthalmic operations. Method: Sixty paediatric patients aged 4-12 years of ASA grade I and II meant for ophthalmic surgeries were divided into two groups of...

The study purpose was to evaluate preventive use of dorzolamide-timolol ophthalmic solution (Cosopt) during laparoscopic surgery with the patient in steep Trendelenburg (ST) position. Periorbital swelling, venous congestion, and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) may produce low ocular perfusion. Prompt IOP reduction is important because 30- to 40-minute episodes of acute IOP elevations can re...
