Ophthalmologists and ophthalmology residents (ORs) are increasingly turning to the internet for medical information, underscoring the significant role that YouTube videos, particularly three-dimensional (3D) ones, play in lifelong learning. This study aimed to compare the content and quality of 3D YouTube videos with two-dimensional (2D) videos as supplementary educational tools for vitreoretinal surgery. Data collected included video length (minutes), time elapsed since upload (days), number of views, likes, dislikes, vitreoretinal surgery type, and visualization system.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of the treat-and-extend (TAE) regimen versus the pro re nata (PRN) regimen in patients with bevacizumab-resistant diabetic macular edema (DME) treated with aflibercept, with or without adjunctive laser therapy.

Methods: Ninety-one eyes from 91 patients who were switched to aflibercept after three consecutive intravitreal bevacizumab injections for the treatment of DME were included in this retrospective real-world study. The patients were categorized into three groups: TAE (n = 30), TAE + laser (n = 31), and PRN (n = 30).

: This study aims to evaluate the computed tomography (CT) scans of glaucoma patients using prostaglandin analogs (PGA) in one eye, investigate findings associated with prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy (PAP), and compare these findings with those of the contralateral eyes. : Patients with open-angle glaucoma who had CT images of the orbital region taken for another reason at least one month after starting PGA treatment in one eye were included in the study. Enophthalmos measurements from thin-slice CT images, along with 3D volume measurements of orbital fat tissue, periorbital muscles, and the optic nerve, were performed.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of early or late switching from intravitreal (IV) anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injection to IV Dexamethasone (DEX) implant injection in treatment-naïve patients with macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion.

Methods: This study included 68 eyes of 68 treatment-naïve BRVO patients who started anti-VEGF treatment. After the loading dose, the patients were divided into two groups: Early DEX group (n:34) (DEX implant treatment started after 3 loading doses) and Late DEX group (n:34) (DEX implant treatment started after 6 months).

Background: To compare the content and quality of 3D YouTube videos with 2Ds as additional educational tools for phacoemulsification surgery.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 2D and side-by-side 3D phacoemulsification videos found on YouTube by searching for "phacoemulsification," "phaco," and "cataract." Data was collected on video length (min), time since upload (days), number of views, likes, dislikes, cataract type, chop technique, and visualization system.

Purpose: To evaluate anatomical and neuroretinal functional aspects in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) after intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy, in particular aflibercept.

Materials And Methods: This prospective single-centered interventional study was performed at Afyonkarahisar Health Science University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, where 32 eyes of 32 patients with DME were investigated. All patients received five intravitreal aflibercept injections on a monthly basis and were followed up for ≥ 6 months.
