Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

480
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
  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • Ophthalmology trainees require effective methods to build confidence and manage stress during surgical procedures like conjunctival closure.
  • Traditional training methods may not always provide sufficient opportunities for repetitive practice in a controlled environment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel, cost-effective, and portable surgical training module for ophthalmology trainees.
  • To evaluate the module's effectiveness in enhancing confidence and reducing stress associated with conjunctival closure.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 29 ophthalmology trainees (medical students and residents) participated in the training module.
  • Pre- and post-module questionnaires assessed confidence and stress levels regarding conjunctival closure using a 1-10 Likert scale.

Main Results:

  • Average confidence in conjunctival suturing significantly increased from 2.6 to 5.6 (p < 0.001).
  • Average stress levels during conjunctival closure decreased significantly from 7.5 to 5.6 (p < 0.001).
  • PGY2 residents showed a significant decrease in stress, while both PGY1 residents and medical students reported increased confidence.

Conclusions:

  • The developed surgical training module is an effective tool for ophthalmology trainees.
  • It successfully increases confidence and decreases stress related to performing conjunctival closure.
  • The module offers a valuable, reusable, and inexpensive platform for practicing essential surgical techniques.
