Topical pain control for corneal abrasions: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: Corneal abrasions are common ophthalmic presentations to emergency departments. Among emergency physicians and ophthalmologists, there are highly variable practice patterns with regard to management of resultant pain and discomfort. The goal of this study was to review and analyze the efficacy and safety of topical pain therapies for corneal abrasions, including topical anesthetics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), cycloplegics, steroids, pressure patching, and the use of a bandage contact lens (BCL).

Design and Validation of a Training Simulator for Laser Capsulotomy, Peripheral Iridotomy, and Retinopexy.

Background And Objectives: Ophthalmology trainees commonly learn laser procedures on live patients. A simulator for learning peripheral iridotomy (PI), posterior capsulotomy, and retinopexy may improve patient outcomes.

Materials And Methods: A model eye with artificial tissues was designed.

Comparison of retinal nerve fibre layer measurements from time domain and spectral domain optical coherence tomography systems.

Objective: To compare retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness measurements acquired using spectral domain (SD) and time domain (TD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems.

Study Design: Prospective clinical study.

Participants: Twenty eyes of 20 healthy volunteers.
