Health literacy and ophthalmology: A scoping review.

As of 2020, it is estimated that 43.3 million people are blind, and an additional 553 million have mild to severe vision impairment. At least 1 billion worldwide have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed.

Home Monitoring of Glaucoma Using a Home Tonometer and a Novel Virtual Reality Visual Field Device: Acceptability and Feasibility.

Objective: Our aim was to assess the acceptability and feasibility of iCare HOME tonometer (HT) and Virtual Field (VF) devices in the home monitoring of glaucoma.

Design: Prospective feasibility and acceptability study.

Subjects: Twenty patients (39 eyes) with primary open-angle glaucoma, open-angle glaucoma, ocular hypertension, or suspected glaucoma.

Artificial Intelligence for Glaucoma: Creating and Implementing Artificial Intelligence for Disease Detection and Progression.

On September 3, 2020, the Collaborative Community on Ophthalmic Imaging conducted its first 2-day virtual workshop on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and related machine learning techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of various ophthalmic conditions. In a session entitled "Artificial Intelligence for Glaucoma," a panel of glaucoma specialists, researchers, industry experts, and patients convened to share current research on the application of AI to commonly used diagnostic modalities, including fundus photography, OCT imaging, standard automated perimetry, and gonioscopy. The conference participants focused on the use of AI as a tool for disease prediction, highlighted its ability to address inequalities, and presented the limitations of and challenges to its clinical application.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Minimally Invasive Trabecular Meshwork Stents with Phacoemulsification.

Purpose: To investigate the costs and effects of implanting trabecular meshwork bypass stents during cataract surgery from a societal perspective in the United States.

Design: Cost-utility analysis using Markov models and efficacy/safety data from published pivotal or randomized control trials (RCTs) of devices investigated.

Participants: Patients aged 65 years and older with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma with or without visually significant cataract.

Gender Compensation Gap for Ophthalmologists in the First Year of Clinical Practice.

Purpose: To identify the role of gender and other factors in influencing ophthalmologists' compensation.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Participants: U.
