Three-dimensional videos may have value in teaching intraocular ophthalmic surgeries. Surgical procedure steps and basic ocular anatomy may have to be reviewed to ensure maximal teaching efficacy.
Vitreomacular interface interactions throughout life are age and gender dependent. This adds to our current understanding of the normal aging process undergone by the vitreous, thereby providing assistance in the clinical differentiation between normal and pathologic vitreomacular interactions.
Diabetes affects the magnitude of attachment of the vitreous gel to the macula that results in stronger and longer lasting attachment of the gel throughout life. Gender differences were not noticed in diabetic patients, suggesting that vitreomacular adhesion remains robust in both genders in diabetes despite aging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
