Purpose: To evaluate long-term retention, compliance, and performance of glaucoma patients using a virtual reality portable perimeter to monitor visual fields (VFs) at home.
Design: Prospective, longitudinal, cohort study.
Subjects: Twenty-five glaucoma patients with stable and reliable VFs (average age 67.
Objective: To compare sex and medical school graduate type differences in cataract surgical training volumes at Canada's largest residency program, the University of Toronto (UoT).
Design: Retrospective cohort study PARTICIPANTS: Ophthalmology residents completing cataract surgical training from 2015 to 2020.
Methods: Data collected from surgical logbooks at the main cataract surgical teaching site at UoT were analyzed from July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2020.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of glaucoma in Canada using self-reports and various tests like Frequency Doubling Technology Perimetry (FDT), optic nerve measurements, and intraocular pressure data.
- - Among 2,600-4,100 participants aged 40-79, the findings showed glaucoma prevalence rates ranging from 0.7% to 10.3%, with 16.3% classified as "glaucoma suspects."
- - Notably, 37.5% of those with definite glaucoma didn't know they had the condition, highlighting the importance of awareness and testing.
Objective: To obtain prescription eyewear in Ontario, eye exams must be performed by optometrists or ophthalmologists (eye care providers [ECPs]). In 2004, government-insured routine eye exams were delisted for Ontarians aged 20-64 leaving eye exam coverage only for those aged ≤19 and 65+. We assessed whether having eyewear insurance impacts Ontarians' utilization of ECPs.
