Purpose To introduce an assessment tool (rubric) for evaluating ophthalmology residents’ competency in pterygium surgery. Methods A panel of experienced international surgeons collaborated and developed the rubric. After describing various stages of the procedure, the Dreyfus scale of skill acquisition was used for scoring each stage. After finalizing the rubric, two surgeons independently evaluated 20 masked pterygium surgery videos of 10 residents and scored the videos according to the rubric. The agreement between the scores of them was examined with the intra-class correlation coefficient test. Results This rubric divides pterygium surgery into 13 different stages and covers the two most common techniques of pterygium surgery; conjunctival autograft and amniotic membrane transplant. The rubric showed face and content validity. Overall, an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.90 (95% confidence interval 0.76–0.96, P < 0.001) was achieved between the two surgeons. The residents scored significantly ...

We have presented the clinical findings of a case with bilateral early-onset central toxic keratopathy (CTK) followed by bilateral late-onset post-LASIK keratectasia. Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a safe procedure to treat a broad spectrum of refractive errors; however, unexpected and rarely encountered post-LASIK complications could be a challenge for patient and surgeon. Post-LASIK keratectasia is a significant consequence of the LASIK operation that may appear anywhere from one week to many years after the procedure[1]. Although the exact incidence rate of post-LASIK keratectasia remains debatable, it was estimated to be from 0.04 to 0.6%[1]. Post-LASIK keratectasia causes progressive corneal thinning, central/paracentral corneal steepening, irregular astigmatism, and reduced the best distance corrected and uncorrected visual acuity (CDVA and UDVA)....

Investigating secular trends of ocular cancer registration in Iran. After acquiring Iranian national population-based cancer registry data, trends of age-standardised incidence rates (ASIR) of ocular cancers and annual percent changes (APC) between 2004 and 2016 were analysed in age groups, gender, topography and morphology types with joinpoint regression analysis. Age, period, and cohort effects on incidence rates were estimated by age-period-cohort model. Geographic distribution of ASIR was assessed using GIS. Overall ASIR of ocular cancers was 16.04/100,000 (95% CI 15.77-16.32). Joinpoint regression analysis showed a significant increase of ASIR between 2004 and 2009 for males (APC = 5.5, 95% CI 0.9-10.2), ages over 50 years (APC = 5.2, 1.2-9.4), skin/canthus/adnexal cancers (APC = 4.2, 0.8-7.7), and carcinomas/adenocarcinomas (APC = 4.3, 0.6-8.1); however, between 2009 and 2016 a declining trend was observed in all investigated variables....
