Blind Procedures

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which child was...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Practices

Background:

  • Cataract surgery is a common procedure performed by ophthalmologists and medical officers.
  • Understanding current surgical preferences is crucial for training and quality improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document preferred cataract surgery techniques among Malaysian eye care professionals.
  • To compare these practices against established international guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • An online questionnaire was distributed to Malaysian ophthalmologists and medical officers in April 2021.
  • Participants were surveyed on their preferred cataract surgery methods.
  • Data were collected, tabulated, and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • 173 participants responded, with 55% aged 31-40.
  • 56.1% favored peristaltic pumps over venturi systems.
  • 91.3% used povidone-iodine, 50.3% preferred superior incisions, and 72.3% used 2.75mm blades.
  • 63% opted for C-Loop intraocular lenses (IOLs) with preloaded systems, and 78.6% used carbachol.

Conclusions:

  • Malaysian ophthalmologists' practices generally align with international standards for preventing postoperative endophthalmitis.
  • This survey offers insights for benchmarking and observing common cataract surgery techniques in Malaysia.
