Unravelling ChatGPT's potential in summarising qualitative in-depth interviews.

Background/objectives: Qualitative research can be laborious and time consuming, presenting a challenge for practitioners and policymakers seeking rapid, actionable results. Data collection, transcription and analysis are the main contributors to the resource-intensive nature. OpenAI's Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), have demonstrated potential to aid in data analysis.

Combined Phacoemulsification and Hydrus Microstent Implantation in Asian Eyes With Moderate-to-Severe Normal Tension Glaucoma-12-Month Outcomes.

Prcis: This study reports 12-month outcomes of combined phacoemulsification and Hydrus Microstent implantation in Asian eyes with moderate-to-severe normal tension glaucoma (NTG), demonstrating a significant reduction in glaucoma medications with an excellent intra and postoperative safety profile.

Objective: To evaluate the 12-month safety and efficacy outcomes of combined phacoemulsification and Hydrus Microstent (Ivantis Inc.) implantation in Asian eyes with moderate to severe NTG.

Comparison of Efficacy of Combined Phacoemulsification and iStent Inject versus Combined Phacoemulsification and Hydrus Microstent.

Aim: This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of combined phacoemulsification with iStent inject (Phaco-iStent) and Hydrus microstent (Phaco-Hydrus).

Methods: This was a retrospective comparative study of patients who underwent Phaco-iStent from April 2019 to August 2020 and Phaco-Hydrus from August 2019 to December 2020 at a tertiary eye centre in Singapore. Sixty-nine Phaco-iStent eyes and 49 Phaco-Hydrus eyes were included in this study.

Prospective 12-month outcomes of combined iStent inject implantation and phacoemulsification in Asian eyes with normal tension glaucoma.

Background: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is a subset of open-angle glaucoma, demonstrating glaucomatous optic nerve damage in the absence of raised intraocular pressure (IOP). NTG is more prevalent in Asian populations.

Complications and post-operative interventions in XEN45 gel stent implantation in the treatment of open angle glaucoma-a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The XEN45 Gel Stent is a subconjunctival filtering device that has demonstrated promising efficacy. This meta-analysis quantitatively evaluates reported complications and interventions after XEN45 implantation in the treatment of open angle glaucoma (OAG).

Methods: Pilot, cohort, observational studies, and randomised controlled trials that included at least ten patients undergoing ab interno or externo XEN45 surgery, with or without phacoemulsification were deemed eligible for inclusion.

"Culture-positive exogenous endophthalmitis related to XEN45 gel stent implantation".

Purpose: The XEN45 gel stent implant (Allergen, CA, USA) is one of many micro-invasive surgical options available to glaucomatologists. Our case series describes the presentation, treatment, and possible risk factors of XEN45 gel stent related endophthalmitis.

Observations: A 71 year old Chinese man and a 88 year old Caucasian woman underwent XEN45 gel stent implantation for primary open angle glaucoma.

Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of XEN45 Implant Versus Trabeculectomy in Asian Eyes.

Prcis: Combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy is able to achieve greater reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP), higher rates of complete surgical success and fewer postoperative manipulations and visits compared with combined phacoemulsification and Xen implantation in glaucomatous eyes.

Purpose: Our study aims to compare and understand the differences between the efficacy and safety of XEN45 implantation and trabeculectomy in Asian eyes with glaucoma.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center, comparative study of consecutive patients who underwent combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy (Phaco-Trab) from January 2013 to June 2014 and combined phacoemulsification and XEN45 implantation (Phaco-Xen) from May 2017 to September 2018 in a tertiary Ophthalmology center in Singapore.

A longitudinal study of choroidal changes following cataract surgery in patients with diabetes.

Objective: To study the structural changes in the choroid of diabetic patients following cataract surgery, using choroidal vascularity index and choroidal thickness.

Methods: A prospective case-control study was conducted in 18 diabetic and 18 non-diabetic patients undergoing cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) in one eye. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography images were obtained before and after surgery.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Optic Disc and Macula Vessel Density in Glaucoma and Healthy Eyes.

Aim: To study the microvascular density of the macular and optic nerve head in healthy and glaucoma subjects using optical coherence tomography angiography.

Methodology: We performed a cross-sectional cohort study on healthy subjects and patients with glaucoma. The AngioVue Enhanced Microvascular Imaging System was used to capture the optic nerve head and macula images during one visit.

Choroidal vascularity index - a novel optical coherence tomography parameter for disease monitoring in diabetes mellitus?

Purpose: To propose the use of choroidal vascularity index (CVI) as a novel tool to assess vascular status of the choroid using image binarization of enhanced depth imaging (EDI) optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans in diabetes mellitus (DM).

Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was performed at a tertiary referral eye care centre in Singapore. Age and gender matched EDI-OCT scans of 38 eyes of 19 patients with DM were compared with eyes of healthy controls (n = 19).

Ophthalmic complications of dengue Fever: a systematic review.

Introduction: In recent years there has been a spurt of peer-reviewed publications on the ophthalmic complications of dengue fever. The authors aim to review the ocular manifestations, utility of relevant diagnostic tests, management, prognosis, and sequelae of dengue-related ocular complications.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted on Medline, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases.

The relationship between growth spurts and myopia in Singapore children.

Purpose: We aimed to determine the relationship between puberty and growth spurts with peak spherical equivalent (SE) or axial length (AL) velocity in Singapore schoolchildren.

Methods: In the Singapore Cohort Study of the Risk Factors for Myopia of 1779 schoolchildren, the longitudinal refractive and pubertal status of 892 boys and 887 girls from ages 6 to 14 years were assessed. The study sample included 1329 Chinese, 316 Malays, 114 Indians, and 20 children of other races.
