Ophthalmic Drug Delivery Systems

211
Ophthalmic drug delivery faces major limitations due to poor absorption across the corneal membrane. This process is primarily driven by diffusion and is influenced by two main factors: the physicochemical properties of the drug and tear drainage. Most ophthalmic drugs, such as pilocarpine, epinephrine, atropine, and local anesthetics, are weak bases. They are typically formulated at an acidic pH to enhance chemical stability. However, this leads to high ionization, reducing their ability to...

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.5K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.3K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Optometry
  • Clinical Education
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Universities are exploring extended clinical placement programs to diversify student learning experiences.
  • These programs may significantly impact practicing optometrists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey Australian optometrists regarding their views on participating in extended clinical placement programs.

Main Methods:

  • A national survey was distributed to members of Optometry Australia in June-July 2014.
  • 268 optometrists completed the survey, categorized as employees/locums or owners/managers.

Main Results:

  • 65% of employees/locums supported the programs, with females more likely than males.
  • 34% of owners/managers supported the programs, with males more likely than females.
  • Key perceived benefits included mentoring and recruitment; disadvantages included time burden and reduced patient numbers. Incentives suggested were CPD credits and financial remuneration.

Conclusions:

  • Moderate support exists for extended clinical placements in optometry.
  • Incentives are crucial for broader professional engagement.
  • Findings can guide the development of sustainable optometry training programs and inform government support initiatives.
