Performance of ChatGPT and Bard on the official part 1 FRCOphth practice questions
CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate the potential of AI models, such as ChatGPT, in processing and applying medical knowledge at a postgraduate level. However, performance varied among different models, highlighting the importance of appropriate AI selection. The study underlines the potential for AI applications in medical education and the necessity for further investigation into their strengths and limitations.PMID:37932006 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2023-324091 (Source: The British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Validation of the RCOphth and UKEGS glaucoma risk stratification tool 'GLAUC-STRAT-fast
Conclusion The GLAUC-STRAT fast tool is a useful tool for risk stratifying eyes with ocular hypertension or open angle glaucoma. Further research is needed to confirm and validate its applicability to more advanced glaucomas and generalisability to clinical use. Trial registration number The LiGHT trial is registered at controlled-trials.com (ISRCTN32038223). (Source: British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Stress and cataract surgery: A nationwide study evaluating surgeon burnout
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of stress induced burnout by cataract surgery appears to be present in a minority of surgeons. There appears to be a significant reduction in the feeling of personal achievement within the profession. A large proportion of this cohort appears to be willing to give up surgical responsibilities.PMID:36734150 | DOI:10.1177/11206721231154611 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Royal College of Ophthalmologists National Ophthalmology Database study of cataract surgery: report 8, cohort analysis of the relationship between intraoperative complications of cataract surgery and axial length
Conclusions Overall PCR rates for cataract surgery in RCOphth NOD contributing centres are lower than previously reported and there is little change in PCR rates by axial length. Short eyes were more likely to have an intraoperative complication than medium or long eyes. (Source: BMJ Open)

The Association Between Glycaemic Control, Renal Function and Post-operative Ophthalmic Complications in People With Diabetes Undergoing Cataract Surgery —A Single-Centre Retrospective Analysis
ConclusionsThis study has shown that more people who undergo cataract surgery have diabetes than previously reported. Also, people with diabetes are at higher risk of developing complications than previously reported. HbA1c concentration was not a factor in these adverse post-operative outcomes. However, eGFR was a predictor of risk. More focus should be placed on pre-operatively optimising co-morbidities than diabetes control in those undergoing cataract surgery. (Source: Diabetes Therapy)

A stakeholder meeting exploring the ethical perspectives of immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery
Conclusion This analysis provides a reference point for the ethical factors surrounding ISBCS. The stakeholders concluded that this approach was an ethical undertaking provided patient autonomy was appropriately attained. This requires a patient’s interpretation of the risk-benefit balance, which must include an understanding of the low but unquantifiable risk of severe complications. A surgeon must aim to minimise risks through the adaption of accepted surgical protocols and by performing appropriate patient selection. Currently, cost savings to healthcare that may occur following the implementation of ISBCS should ...
