Purpose: To assess patient satisfaction following overnight orthokeratology using a visual analogue scale and to find clinical factors that influence patient satisfaction.
Methods: In this prospective study, subjective patient satisfaction with visual outcomes was measured using a visual analogue scale, ranging from 0 (very dissatisfied) to 10 (very satisfied) in 17 patients who completed 1-year follow-up examinations after commencement of orthokeratology. Spherical equivalent refraction at baseline was 2.17 +/- 0.84 diopter (mean +/- SD). Various clinical parameters including refraction, visual acuity, ocular higher-order aberrations, and photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity function were examined before and after the procedure. The influence of these parameters on patient satisfaction was evaluated using Spearman rank correlation test.
Results: The overall satisfaction with visual outcomes was scored 7.8 +/- 1.8 (range, 3.5 to 10). The level of satisfaction showed significant correlation (Spearman rank correlation coefficient; r = -0.599, p = 0.017) with posttreatment uncorrected visual acuity and pretreatment myopic error (r = 0.500, p = 0.045).
Conclusions: This study demonstrated a relatively high level of patient satisfaction following overnight orthokeratology. Posttreatment uncorrected visual acuity is associated with patient satisfaction, and patients with higher myopia are predisposed to lower levels of subjective satisfaction.

Institute for Better Health, Trillium Health Partners, Mississauga, ON, Canada.
Background: Patient portals, or secure websites linked to electronic medical records, have emerged as tools to provide patients with timely access to their health information. To support the potential benefits of patient portals such as improved engagement in health care, it is essential to understand how patients and caregivers experience these portals.
Objective: This study aimed to explore patient and caregiver experiences, facilitators, and barriers to accessing and using a patient portal called MyChart during the initial stages of its implementation.
Femtosecond Laser Arcuate Keratotomy vs Toric Intraocular Lens Implantation in Cataract Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: After cataract surgery, postoperative residual astigmatism can influence a patient's visual quality and satisfaction. Finding ways to minimize this astigmatism is important.
Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) and toric intraocular lens (TIOL) implantation for astigmatism correction in patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

This review evaluates pharmacologic treatments for female sexual dysfunction (FSD), focusing on hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). We provide clinically relevant applications for Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications (flibanserin and bremelanotide) and investigational therapies (Lorexys and testosterone combinations). Detailed study outcomes, safety profiles, and clinical strategies guide clinicians in appropriate diagnosis, patient selection, expectation setting, side effect management, and patient education, improving treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.
