Week 4, Part 2: What we learned from the Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial

ONTT: IV methylprednisolone speeds recovery, oral prednisone alone raises recurrence, and brain MRI predicts multiple sclerosis risk.

Week 4, Part 1: OHTS, confirming visual field loss

Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study: most abnormal visual fields in ocular hypertension were not confirmed on retest, so confirm before you diagnose glaucoma.

Week 2, Part 2: MUTT 2, adding oral voriconazole

The Mycotic Ulcer Treatment Trial II: oral voriconazole added to topical therapy did not reduce perforation or keratoplasty in severe fungal ulcers, and it caused more adverse events.

Week 2, Part 1: MUTT 1, natamycin vs voriconazole for fungal ulcers

The Mycotic Ulcer Treatment Trial I: topical natamycin beat topical voriconazole for filamentous fungal keratitis, especially Fusarium.

BCSC 13, Ep 8: Presbyopia and Lens Surgery

5 refractive surgery questions. That wraps up our eight-part BCSC Refractive Surgery series covering laser optics, candidacy, incisional surgery, surface ablation, LASIK flaps, complications, ectasia, SMILE, and presbyopia.

BCSC 13, Ep 7: Ectasia, SMILE, and IOL Math

5 refractive surgery questions. Next episode: presbyopia solutions, monovision targets, corneal inlays, conductive keratoplasty, multifocal IOL dysphotopsias, and piggyback lens opacification.

BCSC 13, Ep 6: When LASIK Goes Wrong

5 refractive surgery questions. Next episode: post-refractive ectasia risk, residual stromal bed calculations, rigid gas-permeable lenses, SMILE parameters, and post-refractive IOL calculations.

BCSC 13, Ep 5: LASIK Flaps

5 refractive surgery questions. Next episode: post-LASIK infectious keratitis, transient light sensitivity, nonhealing epithelial defects, diplopia vs striae, and retinal detachment risks.

BCSC 13, Ep 4: PRK Haze and Healing

5 refractive surgery questions. Next episode: LASIK flap architecture, microkeratomes versus femtosecond lasers, flap adherence forces, striae, and epithelial ingrowth.

BCSC 13, Ep 3: Incisions, RK, and Grafts

5 refractive surgery questions. Next episode: PRK wound healing, mitomycin C timing and toxicities, subepithelial haze timelines, and ocular surface disease.

BCSC 13, Ep 2: Who Is a Candidate

5 refractive surgery questions. Next episode: incisional keratotomy, radial keratotomy trauma risks, post-RK cataract shifts, and penetrating keratoplasty laser timing.

BCSC 13, Ep 1: Lasers, Wavefronts, and Ablation Depth

5 refractive surgery questions. Next episode: refractive surgery candidate selection, corneal topography, keratometry limits, and systemic contraindications.
