This paper synthesizes recent advances of technologies in ophthalmology education. Advancements in three-dimensional technology are revolutionizing ophthalmology education by enhancing the visualization, understanding, and retention of complex anatomical and pathological concepts. In addition to physical models, artificial intelligence and virtual reality are emerging as significant tools. A systematic search of PubMed was carried out, with a search date from inception to 01/05/2024. A total of 6,686 articles were screened, of which 6,470 were excluded following abstract review. After reading the remaining 216 articles in full, a further 186 were excluded. A total of 30 original articles were included in the review. This review underscores the transformative impact of novel technology in ophthalmology education, offering innovative solutions to enhance learning, surgical training, and diagnostic skills. Further research and development in this field hold promise for continued improvements in ophthalmology education and practice.

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common sight-threatening complication of diabetes, necessitating regular monitoring of progression via diabetic eye screening (DES). The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends DES annually for diabetic patients aged 12 years and older. This retrospective clinical audit assessed the reasons behind non-attendance and evaluated the adherence to guidelines set by NICE in a general practice with approximately 9000 patients.

Purpose: To determine the clinical pattern and burden of strabismus in a teaching institute of Northeast (NE) India.
Methods: In this hospital-based, cross-sectional study, detailed clinical evaluation of patients with manifest strabismus was carried out for a period of one and half years.
Results: Out of the 7222 new outpatient department attendances, a total of 110 new patients with manifest strabismus were found, with a hospital-based burden of 1.

The management of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) remains challenging in cases of poor glycemic control despite triple Oral Hypoglycemic Agent (OHA) therapy. This prospective cohort study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Empagliflozin as part of a quadruple OHA regimen over a 7-year follow-up period in 575 adult patients with uncontrolled T2DM on a triple OHA regimen and who were unwilling to initiate insulin therapy. Overall, 92.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the answers given by ChatGPT, Bard, and Copilot and that obtained from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) website to patient-written questions related to keratoconus in terms of accuracy, understandability, actionability, and readability to find out whether chatbots can be used in patient education.
Methods: Twenty patient-written questions obtained from the AAO website related to keratoconus were asked to ChatGPT, Bard, and Copilot. Two ophthalmologists independently assessed the answers obtained from chatbots and the AAO website in terms of accuracy, understandability, and actionability according to the Structure of Observed Learning Outcome taxonomy, Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool-Understandability, and Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool-Actionability tests, respectively.
