Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

752
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

889
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

973
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.4K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

1.1K
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Summary

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) surveys are feasible for optometry clinics. While most patients completed PROMIS quickly, visual acuity impacted participation, suggesting a need for improved delivery methods.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Health Services Research
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

  • The utility of general health Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) surveys in eye care is not well-established.
  • Implementing PROMIS in clinical settings requires demonstration of feasibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the feasibility of implementing general health and functioning PROMIS surveys in an optometric clinic.
  • To assess patient completion rates and time to completion for PROMIS surveys in an eye care setting.

Main Methods:

  • PROMIS general health and functioning surveys were offered to patients over two months in a Rochester, NY optometric clinic.
  • Demographic and clinical data were collected, alongside survey completion rates and time.

Main Results:

  • Out of 651 patients, 258 attempted PROMIS; 193 (74.8%) completed it.
  • Lower visual acuity and older age were associated with lower participation and completion rates.
  • Mean completion time was 6.36 minutes, with no significant variation across groups.

Conclusions:

  • PROMIS surveys are feasible for implementation in optometry clinics, evidenced by a high completion rate among participants.
  • The significant impact of visual acuity on participation highlights the need to optimize PROMIS delivery for greater patient inclusion.
  • While generally quick, the wide range in completion times suggests potential challenges for some patients.
