Patient-centred care in ophthalmology: current practices, effectiveness and challenges.

Purpose: To summarise different patient-centred care approaches that can be used in ophthalmology and review their effectiveness.

Methods: An Entrez Pubmed search on publications concerning different patient-centred care was performed on September 7, 2021. Articles on animal research, non-English language and review articles were excluded after manually screening by two authors.

The role of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor in treatment of retinopathy of prematurity-a current review.

The review aims to evaluate the uses of conventional laser therapy and intravitreal injection of various anti-VEGF in terms of efficacy and side effects for the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity. A literature search of the publication, concerning conventional laser treatment and intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF for ROP. A total of 40 articles were reviewed after curation by the authors for relevance.

Management of Patients with Newly Diagnosed Diabetic Mellitus: Ophthalmologic Outcomes in Intensive versus Conventional Glycemic Control.

Background And Objective: Diabetic retinopathy, a microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, is one of the most important causes of visual loss in developed countries. Our objective is to evaluate the efficacy of intensive versus conventional glycemic control of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in terms of ophthalmologic outcome, pathogenesis of the early worsening of diabetic retinopathy, risk factors for early worsening and diabetic retinopathy progression.

Methods: A literature search on publications concerning glycaemic control in diabetic retinopathy and management of newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus by intensive versus conventional glycaemic control.

A review on the use of telemedicine in glaucoma and possible roles in COVID-19 outbreak.

We performed a literature search of published human studies on teleglaucoma on May 12, 2020, using search terms including "telemedicine" and "glaucoma" that were in English and published over the prior 10 years. This search strategy yielded a total of 14 relevant articles after manual curation.

A Review on Evidence-Based Treatments for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.

Objectives: To evaluate recent studies on available therapies for meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Methods: A literature search on recent publications, within the last five years, concerning treatment options for MGD was performed.

Results: A total of 35 articles were reviewed after curation by the authors for relevance.

Role of tear film biomarkers in the diagnosis and management of dry eye disease.

In recent years, there has been increasing scientific interest in the use of tear film biomarkers in the diagnosis and management of dry eye disease (DED), owing to their potential important roles in the pathogenesis of ocular surface damage, as well as the technical feasibility of tear sample collection techniques. An Entrez PubMed search was conducted on March 2, 2019, to include papers investigating the use of tear film biomarkers in DED, and the results were classified according to whether the DED is associated with systemic inflammatory disease or not and further classified within each section according to the molecular nature of the biomarker for further discussion. A total of 58 relevant articles were reviewed.
