Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

653
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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

505
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

590
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...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Education
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • Published information on virtual supervision (VS) in ophthalmology is limited.
  • VS offers a potential role in ophthalmic practice and education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the evidence and potential role of VS in ophthalmology.
  • To conduct a scoping review of VS in ophthalmic practice and education.

Main Methods:

  • Searched peer-reviewed English-language journals for studies on physician-physician or physician-trainee VS in ophthalmology.
  • Excluded studies involving in-person supervision.
  • Appraised methodological quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).

Main Results:

  • Seven articles were synthesized, involving various medical professionals and settings.
  • All studies reported successful real-time image/video transmission for clinical data.
  • Technical challenges were noted, and MMAT revealed limitations in study designs and outcome measures.

Conclusions:

  • VS is technologically feasible in ophthalmology, enabling synchronous communication and data transmission.
  • VS can aid in diagnosis, management planning, and surgical skill acquisition.
  • Future research should focus on larger sample sizes and robust designs to enhance VS effectiveness.
