Implementation of Artificial Intelligence–Based Diabetic Retinopathy Screening in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Quebec: Prospective Validation Study

Implementation of Artificial Intelligence–Based Diabetic Retinopathy Screening in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Quebec: Prospective Validation Study

We report on the prospective clinical validation of this AI system, showcasing its real-world performance at both the patient and eye levels for detecting retinopathy and diabetic macular edema (DME). We also perform an economic analysis to estimate the potential cost savings achievable with the implementation of the AI system.

Attentional Bias, Pupillometry, and Spontaneous Blink Rate: Eye Characteristic Assessment Within a Translatable Nicotine Cue Virtual Reality Paradigm

Attentional Bias, Pupillometry, and Spontaneous Blink Rate: Eye Characteristic Assessment Within a Translatable Nicotine Cue Virtual Reality Paradigm

Recent technological advances in VR implementation also allow for precise inline assessment of eye-related measures during cue exposure. The integration of eye-tracking technology into the VR headset is a substantial improvement from previous eye-tracking applications that require inadequate camera placement for precision eye tracking, resulting in partial blockage of the field of view.

Service Quality and Residents’ Preferences for Facilitated Self-Service Fundus Disease Screening: Cross-Sectional Study

Service Quality and Residents’ Preferences for Facilitated Self-Service Fundus Disease Screening: Cross-Sectional Study

Vision impairment and blindness are caused by a variety of eye diseases, including cataracts, glaucoma, uncorrected refractive error, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other eye diseases [1]. They not only reduce economic productivity but also harm the quality of life and increase mortality [2-6]. In 2020, an estimated 43.3 million individuals were blind, and 1.06 billion individuals aged 50 years and older had distance or near vision impairment [7].

Peer Review of “Eye Care Service Use and Associated Health-Seeking Behaviors Among Malawian Adults: Secondary Analysis of the Malawi Fifth Integrated Household Survey 2019-2020”

Peer Review of “Eye Care Service Use and Associated Health-Seeking Behaviors Among Malawian Adults: Secondary Analysis of the Malawi Fifth Integrated Household Survey 2019-2020”

This is the peer-review report for “Eye Care Service Use and Associated Health-Seeking Behaviors Among Malawian Adults: Secondary Analysis of the Malawi Fifth Integrated Household Survey 2019-2020.” Potentially an interesting paper [1], but more details are needed in the methods to enable the reader to understand the results. The English is not good throughout the document, and the writing could be much more succinct and precise.

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Eye Care Service Use and Associated Health-Seeking Behaviors Among Malawian Adults: Secondary Analysis of the Malawi Fifth Integrated Household Survey 2019-2020”

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Eye Care Service Use and Associated Health-Seeking Behaviors Among Malawian Adults: Secondary Analysis of the Malawi Fifth Integrated Household Survey 2019-2020”

This paper is a secondary analysis of a Malawian household survey exploring associations of patients who self-reported as having used formal eye care services. It is a useful idea to use this survey data for this purpose, but the author needs to check that they are using the correct source numbers for their statistical analysis and only report the numbers actually surveyed—not the national estimated numbers derived from these. 1.

Eye Care Service Use and Associated Health-Seeking Behaviors Among Malawian Adults: Secondary Analysis of the Malawi Fifth Integrated Household Survey 2019-2020

The results of this study can help address the systematic exclusion of disadvantaged groups and develop health systems toward universal coverage of eye health through evidence-based programs and policies to increase the use of eye care services. The attainment of universal eye health is hindered by low uptake of eye care, especially in low-income countries where access to care is restricted and patients delay seeking treatment due to financial restrictions, fear, or neglect [6,10,21].

Using Smartphones to Enhance Vision Screening in Rural Areas: Pilot Study

Using Smartphones to Enhance Vision Screening in Rural Areas: Pilot Study

To mitigate the impact of visual impairment, regular eye exams are important. However, regular eye exams are still a luxury for many people for various reasons that lead to limited access to eye care. For instance, in sub-Saharan Africa, there are only 2 ophthalmologists per million people, while the global mean is 32. It is the only region in the world where the prevalence of moderate and severe vision impairment has increased from 1990 to 2020 [1,2].
