Introduction: To evaluate the long-term effect of corneal transplantation on mental health outcomes and to assess potential predictors of these outcomes.
Methods: For this multicentre prospective cohort study, patients awaiting corneal transplantation were recruited from 11 (academic) hospitals and eye clinics in the Netherlands. Participants (n = 238) completed the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety subscale (HADS-A) and the Dutch ICF Activity Inventory Emotional Health subscale (DAI-EH) and Fatigue subscale (DAI-F) 1 month prior and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after corneal transplantation.
Background: Healthcare is responsible for 4% to 10% of carbon emissions worldwide, of which 22% is related to transport. Telemedicine emerged as a potential solution to reduce the footprint, for example, by reducing travel. However, a need to understand which variables to include in carbon footprint estimations in telemedicine limits our understanding of the beneficial impact telemedicine might have on our environment.

- The study explores a web-based tool for self-assessing visual acuity and refractive error in myopic children, with a focus on its effectiveness compared to traditional clinic measurements.
- The results demonstrated that children could accurately perform self-assessments at home, showing good agreement with clinical tests, although the web tool tended to underestimate visual acuity for poorer vision cases.
- The web-based refractive error assessments indicated greater myopia progression than those recorded in the clinic, suggesting this tool could be useful for ongoing monitoring in children.
Web-based telemonitoring of visual function and self-reported postoperative outcomes in cataract care: international multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: To compare web-based, self-administered follow-up after cataract surgery to conventional face-to-face follow-up.
Setting: Eye clinics in the Netherlands, Austria, and Germany.
Design: Randomized controlled trial with an embedded method comparison study (ClinicalTrials.
Background: Among older people undiagnosed and untreated vision impairment and blindness are common. The leading causes are uncorrected refractive errors and cataracts. Vision problems are associated with a lower quality of life, several health problems, and a higher chance of falling accidents and fractures.
