Factors Influencing Fellowship Training Among Ophthalmology Residents: A Pilot Study.

Objective: There has been an increase in ophthalmology fellowship training programs and applicants. The current ophthalmology literature lacks any recent study examining factors influencing residents' decisions to pursue subspecialty fellowship training.

Methods: An anonymous, 16-item survey was distributed to residents from a convenience sample of ophthalmology residency programs by their program directors or administrators.

Evaluation of Two-Dimensional (2D) versus Three-Dimensional (3D) Video Tutorials in Cataract Surgery for New Trainees.

 Microscopic ophthalmic surgery requires an understanding of three-dimensional (3D) spaces within the eye. Recently, there has been an increase in 3D video training tools in health care. Studies have evaluated the efficacy of 3D tutorials in general surgery, but little has been published within ophthalmology.

Distance Surgical Mentorship for Ophthalmologists in Northern Peru.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. To evaluate the quality of live distance surgical mentorship as an alternative way to provide continuing professional development (CPD) to practicing ophthalmologists.

Probability of Success in the Ophthalmology Residency Match: Three-Year Outcomes Analysis of San Francisco Matching Program Data.

Objective: To develop a probability model of matching into a US ophthalmology residency program using San Francisco Matching Program (SF Match) data.

Design: Retrospective data analysis of de-identified application and matching data.

Participants: Registrants for the 2013, 2014, and 2015 ophthalmology residency matches conducted by the SF Match.

Rate of Unverifiable Publications Among Ophthalmology Residency Applicants Invited to Interview.

Importance: Unverifiable publications in applications for ophthalmology residencies could be a serious concern if they represent publication dishonesty.

Objective: To determine the rate of unverifiable publications among applicants offered an interview.

Design: Retrospective review of 322 ophthalmology residency applications for entering classes 2012 to 2017 at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee.

The effect of post-traumatic-stress-disorder on intra-operative analgesia in a veteran population during cataract procedures carried out using retrobulbar or topical anesthesia: a retrospective study.

Background: A growing proportion of veterans treated at the Veterans Health Administration (VA) have a history of post-traumatic-stress-disorder (PTSD), and there exists a higher rate of PTSD amongst veterans than the general population. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between PTSD and intra-operative analgesia, intra-operative time, and anesthesia type for cataract surgery in a veteran population. Secondary objectives are to determine if patient age, and first or second eye surgery affect intra-operative pain control or are correlated with type of anesthesia modality.

Long-term potency, sterility, and stability of vancomycin, ceftazidime, and moxifloxacin for treatment of bacterial endophthalmitis.

Purpose: To determine the long-term potency, sterility, and stability of vancomycin, ceftazidime, and moxifloxacin prepared in single-use polypropylene syringes for intravitreal injection.

Methods: Experimental study. Vancomycin 1 mg/0.

Xanthoma disseminatum with bilateral epibulbar involvement.

Purpose: To describe the ocular involvement in xanthoma disseminatum.

Design: Case report and literature review.

Methods: Histopathologic study of excised conjunctival tumor and clinical follow-up.

Effect of ibopamine on aqueous humor production in normotensive humans.

Purpose: Ibopamine is a prodrug of epinine (deoxyepinephrine) that exhibits activity at dopaminergic and adrenergic receptors. Topical ocular application has been shown to cause mydriasis without cycloplegia and to increase the rate of aqueous humor flow in normotensive human eyes. Mydriasis can interfere with the measurement of aqueous flow.

Pupillary response to four concentrations of pilocarpine in normal subjects: application to testing for Adie tonic pupil.

Purpose: To determine the amount of pupillary constriction to four different concentrations of pilocarpine in normal human subjects and to determine if pupillary constriction correlates with bioavailability of the instilled concentrations. The amount of pupillary constriction to dilute pilocarpine is utilized as a diagnostic test for Adie tonic pupil as distinguished from a normal pupil response.

Design: Twenty healthy volunteers had automated binocular infrared pupillography in the dark after instillation of four different concentrations of dilute pilocarpine.
