Purpose: To evaluate AI-based chat bots ability to accurately answer common patient's questions in the field of ophthalmology.
Methods: An experienced ophthalmologist curated a set of 20 representative questions and responses were sought from two AI generative models: OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard (Gemini Pro). Eight expert ophthalmologists from different sub-specialties assessed each response, blinded to the source, and ranked them by three metrics-accuracy, comprehensiveness, and clarity, on a 1-5 scale.
Objective: To describe refractive outcomes and complications after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation.
Design: Retrospective, interventional case series.
Methods: A database search of ICL surgeries over a 5-year period (2009-2013) was conducted, and 83 eyes of 44 patients were included.
Aim: To compare the results of same day transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy (t-PTK) and single inferior intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) combined with standard versus accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) for keratoconus.
Methods: All consecutive progressive keratoconus eyes that underwent standard or accelerated CXL treatment preceded by same day t-PTK and placement of a single inferior ICRS and had 6 and 12 months of follow-up were reviewed retrospectively. Eyes were classified into two groups, the 'standard' and the 'accelerated' group, accordingly.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of accelerated crosslinking (irradiance of 9 mW/cm; 10 minutes) in keratoconus-affected eyes through topographical, visual, and refractive end points.
Methods: Mild-moderate keratoconus-affected eyes that underwent accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) treatment and had 6 and 12 months of follow-up were reviewed retrospectively. Data regarding uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), manifest refraction, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and computerized corneal topography data before surgery and post-CXL treatment were extracted and analyzed.
Purpose: To compare 2 lenticule insertion methods currently in use for Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).
Design: Prospective randomized single-masked study.
Patients And Methods: Twenty patients with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy and pseudophakic bullous keratopathy undergoing DSAEK surgery were included and randomized to the use of either EndoGlide or EndoSerter as a delivery method for the donor lenticule.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to report the outcomes of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) after previous radial keratotomy (RK) in patients with decreasing visual acuity and/or diurnal visual fluctuations.
Methods: The charts of all patients who had undergone CXL because of a worsening corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and/or diurnal visual fluctuations after RK were reviewed retrospectively. Uncorrected distance visual acuity, CDVA, manifest refraction, and corneal topography were recorded preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure.
Aims: To explore the relationship between the amount of resected Müller's muscle-conjunctiva (MMCR) and clinical outcome in patients undergoing upper eyelid ptosis surgery.
Methods: 49 patients underwent 87 MMCR surgeries. The total areas of the specimen and of MM were measured in pixels.
