Community hospitals increasingly transfer ophthalmic patients to academic centers, burdening tertiary care despite eye problems making up only 1.5% of ER visits.

A retrospective study of 685 transfers to Harborview Medical Center (Feb 2022–Jan 2023) found just 6.1% had an in-person ophthalmologist evaluation and 11.3% were discussed with one before transfer. Common transfer reasons included suspected open-globe injury, retinal detachment, orbital fracture and eyelid laceration.

Only 48.9% of transfer diagnoses were accurate, and 50.2% were discharged without admission or procedures within a month. In-person pre-transfer evaluations greatly improved diagnostic accuracy (90.5% vs. 66.3%) and likelihood of necessary intervention (90.5% vs. 46.8%).

“Implementing standardized pre-testing evaluation protocols, including in-person eye-care provider evaluations when available, could enhance diagnostic precision and optimize resource use,” the study authors conclude.

The Timing of Posterior Capsular Rupture

This study aimed to describe the stage at which posterior capsular rupture (PCR) occurred during cataract surgery and the association with anterior capsular tears.

A total of 1,042 eyes were included in the study and PCR occurred at the following stages:
— hydrodissection in 40 eyes (3%);
— phacoemulsification in 621 eyes (60%);
— irrigation-aspiration (IA) in 248 eyes (24%);
— lens implantation in 87 eyes (8%);
— viscoelastic removal in 44 eyes (4%) and wound hydration in two eyes (1%).

Diabetic retinopathy screening could help catch cardiovascular disease, according to a recent study.

The investigation found that patients with DR had a higher burden of coronary atherosclerosis and early heart failure markers such as more concentric left ventricular remodeling and worse global longitudinal strain.

"Routine diabetic eye screening may serve as a clinically relevant and accessible alternative method to currently advocated screening tools for detecting underlying cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes,” the study authors concluded.
