“…Perhaps this information should be used to plan individual trainee timetables. 21 Similar to cataract surgery guidelines, there should also perhaps be a mandatory requirement for a microsurgical skills course on suturing techniques and scleral dissection with suitable models for trabeculectomy teaching. 22 This would aid not only glaucoma surgery, but also cases of ocular trauma and other anterior segment surgery thus, giving the trainee invaluable initial experience in a controlled setting.…”

Trainee trabeculectomy cases showed significantly higher rates of early complications, return to theatres, and bleb interventions compared with consultant cases. Satisfactory IOP control was achieved in both groups at postoperative year 1. Trainee cases require careful preoperative selection, avoiding complicated glaucomas including pseudoexfoliation and low tension, and those that require mitomycin. The majority of Scottish consultants wish to retain glaucoma surgery within the remit of generic training.

Optic disc assessment in the emergency department: a comparative study between the PanOptic and direct ophthalmoscopes

et al. 2011

Optic disc assessment is an essential part of the neurological examination of acutely unwell patients. This study compares the PanOptic ophthalmoscope with the direct ophthalmoscope for accuracy of diagnosis and ease of use. Patient satisfaction was also compared for the two instruments. A single-masked prospective observational study was carried out. The authors showed that the PanOptic ophthalmoscope was more sensitive (p=0.03) and specific (p=0.03) than the direct ophthalmoscope. The PanOptic ophthalmoscope was preferred by both doctors (p=0.001) and patients (p=0.04) in terms of comfort and ease of use.
