Purpose: To compare visual outcomes and recurrence rates between pro re nata (PRN), treat-and-extend and stop (TES), and treat-and-extend with chronic maintenance dosing (TEM) regimens of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections for myopic macular neovascularization (MNV) in multiethnic patients.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients treated with PRN, TES, or TEM for myopic MNV using intravitreal bevacizumab or ranibizumab. The primary outcome measure was visual improvement at 12 months.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate public awareness and concerns about Vuity, an eye drop treating presbyopia, using Google Trends data from June 2021 to June 2022.
- Results showed a significant rise in searches for Vuity around its approval and advertising, with high interest in its cost, availability, and side effects, particularly retinal detachment.
- The findings suggest that Google Trends is effective for gauging public interest, highlighting a need for further investigation into the potential relationship between Vuity and its side effects.
Objective: To evaluate the appropriateness and readability of the medical knowledge provided by ChatGPT-4, an artificial intelligence-powered conversational search engine, regarding common vitreoretinal surgeries for retinal detachments (RDs), macular holes (MHs), and epiretinal membranes (ERMs).
Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.
Subjects: This study did not involve any human participants.
