Timor‑Leste is a lower‑middle‑income country in Southeast Asia. To control the significant local threat from infectious diseases, it is imperative to strengthen the knowledge and practice capabilities of the primary care workforce. We report and reflect on the development and delivery of a national training programme in infectious diseases called the Advancing Surveillance and Training to Enhance Recognition of Infectious Diseases (ASTEROID) programme, developed by the medical non‑governmental organisation (NGO) Maluk Timor and other Timorese stakeholders.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on patients subjected to trabeculectomy with at least a 6-month follow-up. Ophthalmologic examination and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) were analyzed.
Purpose: The aim of the this study was to determine the effect of intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor injections on intraocular pressure (IOP) and identify possible risk factors for the development of increased IOP.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included a total of 106 eyes receiving intravitreal injection of bevacizumab as treatment for macular edema or active choroidal neovascularization. IOP was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry immediately before the intravitreal injection and 5 min, 1 h and 15 days after the procedure.
Purpose: To describe the technique of deep sclerectomy with the new Esnoper-Clip® implant, the clinical outcome and the anatomic characteristics of filtering blebs, using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
Methods: A prospective case-series study was conducted in five eyes (5 patients) with open angle glaucoma. The fornix-based deep sclerectomy with Esnoper-Clip® implant was done by the same surgeon.
