Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the experiences of Canadian ophthalmologists and trainees regarding childbearing, fertility, and lactation, using an online survey conducted between April and August 2022 with 137 respondents (46% females).
- - Results indicated that women reported more challenges than men, such as training influencing childbearing choices, concerns about future fertility, and difficulties with parental leave, largely due to pressures from colleagues and finding coverage for their roles.
- - Conclusions highlighted that female ophthalmologists face significant barriers related to family responsibilities, including inadequate support for lactation and childcare, which affect their career progression and engagement in leadership roles.

This systematic review aims to investigate the rates and characteristics of strabismus development after hemispheric surgery and evaluate clinical implications for ophthalmologic care.
Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, PsychINFO, and Web of Science databases was performed from database inception to May 2022.
Objectives: To determine the outcomes of chronically ventilated patients outside the setting of intensive care units.

Background: Dry eye disease (DED) is one of the most common conditions presenting to eye care providers and is increasingly recognized to have poor outcomes on quality of life, activities of daily living, and social and emotional well-being. Here, we aim to understand the association between dry eye symptoms and workplace productivity experienced by patients with non-Sjögren's dry eye and Sjögren's Syndrome.
Methods: MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Healthstar, and PsycINFO were searched from inception to May 2019.
