Objective: The purpose of this paper was to conduct a systematic review of existing literature on simulation-based training of cataract surgery. Available literature was evaluated and projections on how current findings could be applied to cataract surgery training were summarised. The quality of included literature was also assessed.
Methods and analysis: The PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched for articles pertaining to simulation training in cataract surgery on 18 November 2019. Selected articles were qualitatively analysed.
Results: A total of 165 articles were identified out of which 10 met inclusion criteria. Four studies reported construct validity of the …
Leveraging Aqueous Humor Dynamics And Ocular Biometrics For Improving Therapeutic Outcomes In Glaucoma, Vikas Gulati
Leveraging Aqueous Humor Dynamics And Ocular Biometrics For Improving Therapeutic Outcomes In Glaucoma, Vikas Gulati
Theses & Dissertations
Glaucoma laser and incisional surgical treatments are associated with a known risk of complications. The ability to better predict treatment outcomes and individualize treatment recommendations can enhance the benefit to risk ratio of a treatment option. The work presented in this dissertation explores the interplay of biometrics, race and aqueous humor dynamics and their influence on treatment outcomes. In the first chapter, we demonstrate that pre-operative aqueous humor dynamics (higher aqueous flow, lower outflow facility and lower uveoscleral outflow) are predictive of greater intraocular pressure lowering after selective laser trabeculoplasty. The second chapter describes significant race-based differences in aqueous humor …
