Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

24.9K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Accessory Structures of the Eye01:17

Accessory Structures of the Eye

2.0K
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

950
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...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

879
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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

744
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...

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

19.3K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science and Public Health
  • Ophthalmology and Climate Change

Background:

  • Human activities are unequivocally causing climate change.
  • Unchecked climate change exacerbates extreme weather events (fire, drought, flood), leading to human suffering.
  • Limiting cumulative carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane emissions is crucial for mitigating climate change.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an evidence-based perspective on high-impact interventions.
  • To guide ophthalmologists in implementing changes to reduce their environmental footprint.
  • To highlight practical, day-to-day actions for individual ophthalmologists.

Main Methods:

  • Review of evidence linking human activities to climate change.
  • Identification of interventions with the largest potential impact.
  • Focus on practical application for ophthalmologists.

Main Results:

  • Specific, actionable interventions are identified for ophthalmologists.
  • These interventions aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within the medical field.
  • The focus is on maximizing impact through individual changes.

Conclusions:

  • Ophthalmologists can play a role in mitigating climate change through targeted actions.
  • Reducing cumulative CO2 and methane emissions is essential.
  • Evidence-based strategies can empower ophthalmologists to contribute to a healthier planet.
