NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR ASSESSING THE CONDITION OF THE PERILIMBAL TISSUES OF THE EYE TO BE MASTERED BY OPHTHALMOLOGISTS AT POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION CYCLES

Abstract

New methods of assessing the state of perilimbal tissues of the eye, which improve visualization and determination of the state of the disease at the preclinical level, are at the stage of development. Today, understanding the causes of the appearance and progression of the disease thanks to the examination of the perilimbal tissues of the eye requires further research. Glaucoma is one of the serious diseases of the eye. This pathology requires special attention, a detailed examination, thorough dynamic diagnostics to determine or confirm the diagnosis. Our goal was to develop a new technique that can help ophthalmologists in examining this cohort of patients through the study and assessment of the state of the perilimbal tissues of the eye in patients with glaucoma, namely patients who have an unstable postoperative result or have been re-operated, as well as patients, who have a rapid progression of the disease after surgery. After all, this technique corresponds to the world standards of glaucoma treatment, which is introduced into the educational and treatment process in postgraduate education cycles for ophthalmologists. We interviewed ophthalmologists about their attitude to the quality of teaching at the thematic improvement cycles and conducted a questionnaire to determine the educational criteria that need improvement according to the students of postgraduate education cycles. In our opinion, this will improve the quality of education, give doctors a better understanding of the pathogenesis of glaucoma, affect the quality of monitoring of patients with this pathology, and become a professional development of doctors in this matter.
