Abstract

Neuroimaging is an important tool in ophthalmology, but many ophthalmologists are uncomfortable evaluating actual scans. Unfortunately, exclusive reliance on a radiologist’s report can lead to diagnostic and management errors. We outline a methodology for equipping ophthalmologists with the skills necessary to read neuroimaging studies with respect to specific clinical questions.

Video-based surgical curriculum for open-globe injury repair, I: open-globe injury

As one of the most severe forms of ocular trauma, open-globe injury (OGI) causes significant vision loss. Timely and meticulous repair of these injuries can improve patient outcomes. This video-based educational curriculum is intended to serve as a quick and efficient yet comprehensive reference for OGI repair. We hope that these video-based articles help surgeons and trainees from around the world find answers to specific surgical questions in OGI management. The curriculum has been divided into six separate review articles, each authored by a different set of authors, to facilitate a systematic and practical approach to the subject of wound types and repair techniques. The first article highlights pertinent terminology and standardized definitions for OGI trauma, which aids in communication, prognostication, and outcomes research.
