“…There have been many studies in the eld of ophthalmology questioning the quality of videos on YouTube [15][16][17]. Also, there have been previous YouTube studies of ptosis surgery and upper lid blepharoplasty in the eld of oculoplastic [18,19]. But in our knowledge, our study is the rst study on lid loading.…”

It is aimed to determine the utility, reliability and quality of the lid loading videos on YouTube, a video sharing platform. Methods:A YouTube searches were made with the keywords 'Eyelid Loading', 'Gold Weight Implantation', 'Lid Loading for Lagophthalmos' (without user login, cleared search history, in incognito tab). A total of 75 videos were recorded. Length of videos (seconds), number of views, uploaded source (doctor/health institution/medical channel), number of subscribers, number of likes, time since uploading (days), video content (surgical/theoretical information), type of narration (verbal narration/subtitle) recorded. DISCERN, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and Global Quality scores of the videos were evaluated and recorded by two experienced oculoplastic surgeons (KSC, HT). Results:After the exclusion criteria, the remaining 46 videos were included in the study. The mean DISCERN score was 25.17 ± 6.88 (very poor quality), the JAMA score was 0.79 0.63 (very poor quality), GQS was 2.84 ±1.03 (medium quality). Thirty videos (65.2%) had verbal narration and 16 videos (34.8%) had subtitled narration. The DISCERN score and GQS were signi cantly higher in the videos with verbal narration compared to the narration with subtitles (p<0.05). All 3 scores were positively correlated with each other. There was also a positive correlation between video length, number of subscribers, and DISCERN score. Conclusions:The videos about lid loading on YouTube are of poor reliability, accuracy, and educational quality. The duration of the video and the type of narration can be kept in the foreground when choosing the video.Experts must review the content that is uploaded to websites like YouTube.

“…In ophthalmology, several studies have assessed the quality of YouTube educational resources, concluding that the overall quality is low [ 12 , 19 – 22 ]. In cataract surgery, Bae et al’s [ 12 ] findings were similar to our study, with 71% of videos produced by medical professionals, and the overall educational quality of videos was deemed low.…”

Background To determine the quality and reliability of DCR YouTube videos as patient education resources and identify any associated factors predictive of video quality. Methods A YouTube search was conducted using the terms “Dacryocystorhinostomy, DCR, surgery” on 12th of January 2022, with the first 50 relevant videos selected for inclusion. For each video, the following was collected: video hyperlink, title, total views, months since the video was posted, video length, total likes/dislikes, authorship (i.e. surgeon, patient experience or media companies) and number of comments. The videos were graded independently by a resident, a registrar and an oculoplastic surgeon using three validated scoring systems: the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), DISCERN, and Health on the Net (HON). Results The average number of video views was 22,992, with the mean length being 488.12 s and an average of 18 comments per video. The consensus JAMA, DISCERN and HON scores were 2.1 ± 0.6, 29.1 ± 8.8 and 2.7 ± 1.0, respectively. This indicated that the included videos were of a low quality, however, only DISCERN scores had good interobserver similarity. Videos posted by surgeons were superior to non-surgeons when considering mean JAMA and HON scores. No other factors were associated with the quality of educational content. Conclusion The quality and reliability of DCR related content for patient education is relatively low. Based on this study’s findings, patients should be encouraged to view videos created by surgeons or specialists in preference to other sources on YouTube.

“…We may claim that the speed of acquiring accurate information from a trustworthy source has grown, but so has the speed and chance of obtaining unreliable and fraudulent information. We know that patients, medical students, physicians, and healthcare assistants routinely use YouTube videos for information [ 1 , 2 ]. Therefore, understanding the quality and reliability of the received information becomes crucial.…”

Introduction Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) causes excessive eye tearing or mucoid discharge. Twenty percent of one-year-olds globally have CNLDO. There are many sources that offer information to parents. This study evaluates the quality and accuracy of CNLDO-related YouTube videos. Methods The first 100 videos that appeared after typing "congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction" in the YouTube search engine were evaluated. These videos were also analyzed and scored using the DISCERN, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and Global Quality Scoring (GQS) systems. Results Forty videos met the inclusion criteria. The mean DISCERN score was 47.3 ± 9.15, JAMA was 1.72 ± 0.87, and GQS was 3.1 ± 0.81. The duration of the videos uploaded by the non-physician group was significantly longer (p = 0.04). In addition, the JAMA score of the videos uploaded by the physician group was significantly higher than that of the other group (p = 0.03). Theoretical videos were longer than surgical videos (p = 0.02). DISCERN, JAMA, and GQS scores were statistically higher in the theoretical video group (p = 0.002, p = 0.04, and p = 0.03, respectively). Conclusion According to our research, the quality of YouTube videos about congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is average. This information source can be improved by making videos with more detailed information about the disease and theoretical information, as well as by having health professionals look over the content that has been uploaded.
