Article Synopsis
- * Chronic exposure to BAK can damage various parts of the eye and trigger inflammation, which complicates treatment and may diminish the success of surgeries for glaucoma patients.
- * To mitigate BAK's harmful effects, switching to preservative-free eye drops or less toxic alternatives is recommended, along with considering non-drug treatments to enhance patient comfort and prevent further complications.
Article Synopsis
- A consensus was reached by an international committee on 24 clinical recommendations for managing ocular surface inflammation in glaucoma patients, focusing on diagnosis, prevention, and treatment based on disease severity.
- A nonanonymous quasi-Delphi process was used, involving expert collaboration and a web-based survey to identify best management practices for ocular surface disease (OSD) and inflammation (OSI) in glaucoma.
- The results showed unanimous agreement on key recommendations, including the need to investigate OSI in all glaucoma patients and emphasizing the importance of reducing preserved medications to prevent OSI.
Purpose: In recent years artificial intelligence (AI), as a new segment of computer science, has also become increasingly more important in medicine. The aim of this project was to investigate whether the current version of ChatGPT (ChatGPT 4.0) is able to answer open questions that could be asked in the context of a German board examination in ophthalmology.
