Outcomes of ophthalmology telemedicine in a large health care system beyond initial pandemic crisis.

Purpose: To compare the outcome of telemedicine versus in-person visit in a large health care system.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Methods: 174,245 patients with a telemedicine or in-person visit from September 2020 to June 2021 in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Health Care System were included.

Operator syndrome: Nursing care and considerations for military Special Operators.

Operator syndrome is a common and predictable constellation of interrelated medical and psychiatric conditions and social and functional impairments experienced by special operations forces. Nurses in all settings should be aware of this emerging trend among veterans they encounter in practice so they may identify and intervene using evidence-based approaches and effect a positive outcome.

Comparison of corneal measurements in keratoconus eyes with two swept-source-optical coherence tomography devices and a Scheimpflug device.

Purpose: To assess the feasibility and reliability of biometric measurements taken with the Eyestar 900 device in keratoconus eyes in comparison with those taken with the Pentacam HR and IOLMaster 700.

Methods: Seventy-five eyes of 75 patients with keratoconus were included. The central corneal thickness (CCT), thinnest point of corneal thickness (TCT), axial length (AL), flat (K1) and steep (K2) anterior and posterior (Kp1, Kp2) keratometry, maximal keratometry (KMax) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were compared between the Eyestar 900, Pentacam HR and IOLMaster 700.
