“…The reliability and quality of YouTube videos on eye diseases and their treatments have been investigated in many studies. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Sakalliog ˘lu and Garip 11 have reported in their study on YouTube videos on dry eye that only a small portion of the videos were of good quality, and that the videos of medical institutes and academic centers were of higher quality than the videos of physicians. Bae and Baxter 12 have evaluated YouTube videos on cataract surgery and found them inadequate in terms of patient training.…”

“…Yıldız et al 17 have reported that most YouTube videos on soft contact lenses were of poor quality and reliability, and contained inadequate information. Songur and Citirik 18 have evaluated YouTube videos on retinal detachment surgery and reported the quality of the videos to be poor and the quality of information they provide to be low. Bozali and Yalinbas Yeter 19 argued in their study where they investigated videos on keratoconus that the videos were not adequate as a source of information and did not make a contribution to the patients.…”

Background: Patients use the YouTube platform to get information about pterygium surgery, and this affects the treatment decisions of the patients. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the quality and reliability of YouTube videos as educational resources about pterygium surgery. Design: This is a register-based retrospective study. Methods: This was a retrospective, record-based study. A YouTube search was performed using the terms ‘pterygium surgery’ and ‘pterygium eye surgery’, resulting in the evaluation of a total of 200 videos. In the end, 122 English-language videos about pterygium surgery were recruited to study. All videos were rated with the DISCERN, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and the Global Quality Score (GQS) systems. Results: The mean DISCERN, JAMA, and GQS values were 38.9 ± 10.9, 1.8 ± 0.8, and 2.2 ± 1, respectively. The YouTube videos about pterygium surgery had been uploaded by a physician in 63 (51.6%) and non-physicians in 59 (48.4%) cases. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of general characteristics and scores. Conclusions: Our results show that YouTube videos about pterygium surgery have low quality and credibility and are not sufficient in terms of providing patient information. Registration: Not applicable.

“…Given that trainee surgeons should acquire knowledge of, and skill in each step of surgery throughout the training process, our study paid attention to individual scoring for each step and presentation of all steps in the videos to achieve educational integrity. It has been emphasized in previous studies that current evaluation systems may not reflect the actual video evaluation results and that current evaluation methods are the result of subjective evaluation ( 20 ). Hence, different results were obtained as a result of each study.…”

Purpose: Myopia control is important because of the increased risk of complications likeretinal detachment, maculopathy, glaucoma and cataract. Nowadays, people can learn about their diseases on the Internet. Due to the fact thatonline health-related informationis not reliable, theevaluation of the reliability of videos is compulsory. We used four scoring systems to evaluatethe effectiveness of myopia control videos on YouTube. Study Design: Online survey. Methods: This study included the first 100 YouTube videos that were found after searching for “myopia control” on YouTube.Duration, views, likes, dislikes, and comments were all included in the general video evaluation. Two ophthalmologists independently evaluated the quality of information.The agreement and individual correlations of the data for each video were investigated statistically. Results: Ninety-two videos were included in the study. The mean scores for DISCERN, JAMA, global quality score and usefulness were 34.22, 2.63, 2.02, and 1.35 respectively.Fifteen times increased outdoor activity and decreased near work, 52 times multifocal spectacles, 53 times multifocal contact lens, 58 times orthokeratology, and 40 times pharmacological agentswere described as the treatment options. There were 31 videos uploaded by physicians and 24 by universities and private hospitals. Conclusion: YouTube lookslike apoor platform according to the scoring system. Especially increased outdoor activity and decreased near work,whichare very important in patient´seducation, were scarcely described.Healthcare professionals should upload more videos, so that the effectiveness and quality of the videos in this area may improve.
