In our series, 7 cases required explantation of the original titanium implant. In these cases a vigorous fibrotic reaction had taken place between the orbital contents and the titanium mesh implant. We postulate that the fibrous reaction between the implant and the orbital contents caused the eye movement restriction and the lid retraction. Implant materials used in orbital floor fracture surgery should be inert with a flat profile rather than a mesh to prevent adhesions through the mesh that may cause cicatricial eye movement restriction and eyelid retraction.

This discussion paper considers some of the practical and ethical aspects of doing qualitative interviews using synchronous online visual technologies within a shifting research context. It is argued that the immediate access to potential participants and subsequent data collection necessitate adjustment to the ways in which qualitative researchers understand and apply ethics, accountability, and responsibility in their data collection processes. We examine the parallels between interviewing face-to-face and interviewing using technology from a practical and integral perspective. In the online environment researchers require a heightened sensitivity and awareness of their attitudes, knowledge, and skills before, during and after the interview to ensure that the process is safe, rigorous and meaningful for collecting comprehensive qualitative data. To do this, we consider how to plan, conduct and end online interviews using voice over internet protocol.

No detrimental effect of fatigue was demonstrated following a routine operating list. The study provides a template for further assessments of fatigue in high-volume cataract surgery lists.

The importance of stereopsis for intraocular surgery is difficult to establish in a live theatre setting without compromising patient safety. Virtual reality simulators provide a safe alternative. This study demonstrates a statistically significant decrease in simulated intraocular surgical performance with acute loss of stereopsis in potential ophthalmic training applicants. Caution is recommend in using these results to advocate stereopsis testing as a screening tool in interviews because some participants performed well despite an absence of stereopsis.
