Evaluation of the Effect of Scleral Buckling on Anterior Segment and Refractive Changes Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography
CONCLUSION: The changes in the structure of anterior segments after SB surgery were almost returned to the preoperative levels at 12 months postoperatively. However, SB surgery has a long-term effect on refractive parameters throughout a 12-month follow-up.PMID:37309176 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2023.2223271 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)

Residency Program Characteristics Associated with Higher Cataract Surgery Volume
CONCLUSION: All ophthalmology residency programs included in this study currently meet or exceed the ACGME requirements for cataract surgery case numbers. The presence of a VA training site and a higher number of fellowship positions were associated with higher mean resident cataract surgery volumes. Residency programs may consider further investing in these areas when seeking to improve resident surgical education. Additionally, residency applicants prioritizing cataract surgery volume may consider these factors when evaluating programs.PMID:37306262 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2023.2223295 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)

Efficacy and Safety of Different Types of Intraocular Pressure-Lowering Surgeries in Patients with Primary Angle Closure (PAC) or PAC Glaucoma: Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
CONCLUSIONS: Phaco+GSL+GS showed the most promising results for lowering IOP. Phaco+trabeculectomy resulted in a significant reduction in the number of antiglaucoma drugs compared to phaco alone.PMID:37296113 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2023.2223292 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)
