(1) Background: Intravitreal injections (IVIs) are the most commonly performed intraocular procedure worldwide. Ensuring correct learning is essential to avoid complications. Our purpose was to develop an internationally valid tool to assess skill in performing IVIs. (2) Methods: A panel of six content experts designed a rubric for assessing the IVI procedure by using a modified Dreyfus scale of skill acquisition, dividing it into steps and providing objective behavioral descriptors for each level of skill in each category, following the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) guidance. The rubric draft was then critically reviewed by 12 international content experts, and their constructive comments were considered for the final rubric. (3) Results: The Ophthalmology Surgical Competency Assessment Rubric for IVI (ICO-OSCAR:IVI) is the proposed tool for assessing healthcare professionals training to perform IVI. (4) Conclusions: The ICO-OSCAR:IVI is the result of the consensus of an international expert panel. The methodology used for its development provides this rubric with face and content validity. It can be used globally to assess healthcare professionals training to perform IVI, as well as the impact of different teaching methods on performance. Further studies are required to establish intra- and inter-rater reliability, as well as the predictive validity of this tool.

October 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the management of chemoimmunotherapy-resistant ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) with iodine-125 (I-125) brachytherapy.
Methods: A 36-year-old man presented to the clinic with biopsy-proven OSSN that covered ∼70% of the corneal surface and extended to the 6 o'clock position of the inferior limbus of the OS. The visual acuity was 20/20 in the OD and 20/40 in the affected OS.

Department of Ophthalmology, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics of macular holes (MH) with an intact bacillary layer.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the characteristics and surgical results of 23 eyes with MH and an intact bacillary layer, with or without rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Results: Among the 23 eyes, 11 had only MH, and 12 had concurrent fovea-off RRD.
Digital Applications for Videoterminal-Associated Dry Eye Disease.
Vision (Basel)
November 2024
Eye Clinic, Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Cagliari, 09124 Cagliari, Italy.
Dry eye disease (DED) has become increasingly prevalent in the digital era, largely due to prolonged screen exposure. The excessive use of digital devices contributes to inappropriate blink frequency and dynamics, leading to ocular surface dryness and discomfort. Additionally, digital screen use has broader implications for systemic health, including visual strain, headaches, and disrupted circadian rhythms caused by blue light exposure.

University of Pittsburgh Medical School, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, UPMC Vision Institute, Pittsburgh, USA.
Purpose: To study the utility of integrated intraoperative OCT (i2OCT) in pediatric patients with cataracts in the real world.
Methods: It was a retrospective case series. We included patients aged 0-12 years with unilateral or bilateral cataracts who underwent cataract surgery or membranectomy for visual axis opacification between July 2022 and December 2023, where intraoperative OCT was used.

Dr Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, India.
Objectives: The objectives of the study were to obtain the current estimates of cataract surgical coverage (CSC) at varying thresholds of vision and gender variations across districts in diverse Indian populations aged ≥50 years.
Methods: Data collected from the national blindness survey from 31 Indian districts between 2015 and 2019 were analyzed. CSC at varying thresholds of presenting visual acuity <3/60, <6/60, and <6/18 were estimated along with gender variations across districts in population ≥50 years of age.
