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.

[ 10 11 12 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 ] Sixty-three percent of the “top” posts were found to be educational leading us to believe that Instagram has the potential to be a good ancillary source of education.

Purpose: This study aims to determine the content and intent of posts published under popular ophthalmology hashtags and to determine whether these posts were educational for ophthalmologists. Methods: A web-based, cross-sectional study design was used to evaluate the top public posts of five popular hashtags on three consecutive days by two ophthalmology specialists. The first 100 relevant English posts of each hashtag were studied. Selected hashtags were #Ophthalmology, #ophthalmosurgery, #ophthalmologyresident, #ophthalmologist, and #ophthalmicphotography. Posts were classified according to the type of post, post author, post intent, and whether the post was educational. Posts deemed educational were then categorized separately using the same classification system as above to determine whether there were defining characteristics of educational posts. Results: One thousand posts were recorded and analyzed and a total of 500 posts were included in the study. The majority of posts 79.8% ( n = 399), were by medical doctors with 95% ( n = 379) being ophthalmology specialists. Sixty-three percent of posts ( n = 315) were deemed educational, 25% promotional ( n = 127), and 12% ( n = 58) were entertainment posts. Medical retina ( n = 119) and anterior segment ( n = 90) were the most common subspecialties explored. #ophthalmicphotography ( P = 0.001) was the hashtag with the highest number of educational posts ( n = 91). The least educational hashtag was #ophthalmologist with only 44% of posts ( n = 44) that were deemed to be educational. One hundred percent of glaucoma posts ( n = 19), 98% of cornea posts ( n = 41), and 99% of medical retina posts ( n = 118) were found to be educational which was significantly more educational than the other topics posted ( P ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: Ophthalmologists are the main authors of posts in popular ophthalmology hashtags. The majority of posts were educational posts with promotional posts being the second most common intent. The authors conclude that while Instagram is a possible source of ancillary education for the visual specialty of ophthalmology, careful selection of hashtags and post authors are needed for maximum benefit.
