Purpose Gałęzowski was one of the most distinguished Polish ophthalmologists of the 19th century. He was the author of hundreds of articles and 12 books, on nearly every aspect of ophthalmology, including his major interests in ophthalmoscopy, retinal chromatoscopy, treatment of glaucoma, cataract and retinal detachment. Despite his many activities, a high professional position in his times and an important influence on the European ophthalmology, his private life and ophthalmic achievements have not yet been studied and analysed in detail. Methods The original works and articles written by Gałezowski in Russian, Polish and French (courtesy of Dr. A. Franceschetti) were translated, analysed and summarised. The published information about his life was supplemented with information collected form Polish medical libraries, including Jagiellonian Library and French libraries, among them Polish Institute in Paris, Polish Libarary in Paris, and National French Library. The information collected was additionally verified by the grandson of Ksawery, Nicolas Gałęzowski. Results His major interests were focused in ophthalmoscopy and retinal detachment. Due to his co‐operation with Jean‐Martin Charcot at the Salpetriere, he gained a great deal of experience with neurological diseases and he became the pioneer of the use of ophthalmoscopy in the diagnosis of central nervous system diseases (cerebroscopy). He founded the first French monthly ophthalmic journal “Journal d’ophtalmologie” in 1872. Conclusion Gałęzowski did many pioneer studies in different fields of ophthalmology and certainly he was a great practitioner and tutor. His studies in ophthalmoscopy, retinal detachment and glaucoma surgery belong to the best of the 19th century ophthalmology.

Background:  Despite established international guidelines on preferred teaching components for ophthalmology in undergraduate curricula, with increasingly less specialty‐based undergraduate teaching within curricula, teaching of core ophthalmology knowledge and skills may become marginalized. This survey aims to evaluate the current state of undergraduate ophthalmology teaching in Australasia and proximate Asian medical schools. Methods:  A questionnaire was developed to determine the content and extent of ophthalmology teaching in the undergraduate medical curriculum. The questionnaire was sent to 25 medical schools throughout Australasia and Asia. Results:  Nineteen of the 25 questionnaires were returned (76% response rate). Ophthalmology teaching programmes ranged from 2 to 20 days: five (26%) medical schools having one ophthalmology attachment; six schools (32%) two attachments; and the remainder three or more. Only seven of the schools taught all 13 ophthalmology topics recommended in current curriculum guidelines. Ocular examination (100%), lens and cataract (95%) and ocular manifestations of systemic disease (95%) were the most commonly taught topics, with intraocular tumours only covered by 10 schools (53%). Students in 14 schools (74%) attended ophthalmology operating theatre, but only two schools (11%) offered attendance at optometry clinics. Ten schools (53%) required a pass in ophthalmology to complete the academic year. Conclusion:  Ophthalmology may increasingly be a small, or even absent, component of undergraduate medical curricula. Despite established international ophthalmology curriculum guidelines, this survey highlights significant lack of uniformity in their implementation.

Purpose The whole eye banking (EB) process, from corneal retrieval to surgery, is improving. Paradoxically, corneal blindness worldwide is still increasing. Supply seems lagging far behind global demand but only partial data of the worldwide situation is available. We therefore launched an international survey on the balance of demand and supply, called the “Worldwide Eye Banking” (WEB)‐project. Our goal is to identify suitable solutions in countries willing to improve their corneal supply Methods Descriptive epidemiological worldwide transversal study. A questionnaire was designed and e‐mailed to EB staff and ophthalmologists involved in corneal grafts using mailing lists from local and international ophthalmological societies or by face to face interview during international ophthalmology, eye research or EB congresses Results Significant disparities were highlighted. Developed countries tended to satisfy corneal demand. EBs in the United‐States use short term storage and are exporters, while Europeans use long‐term organoculture and nearly satisfy local demand. Keratoplasty indications have 2 profiles: infections, mainly trachoma, for developing countries and keratoconus, endothelial dystrophy or iatrogenic edema in developed countries Conclusion This demand/supply disparity, at this stage of the study (ongoing), is severe in most developing countries. Decreasing demand requires: 1) Trachoma fight in endemic zones, 2) Iatrogenic edema prevention. Increasing supply requires: 1) Corneal donation politic dynamism, 2) Local eye banking implantation in each country, 3) Optimizing storage technique for better efficiency (retrieved/delivered graft ratio), 4) Bioengineering of endothelial graft

Purpose The whole eye banking (EB) process, from corneal retrieval to surgery, is improving. Paradoxically, corneal blindness worldwide is still increasing. The corneal supply is lagging far behind global demand. Few and partial works exist in this field. This has motivated our international survey: the Worldwide Eye Banking (WEB) project. Our final goal is to identify suitable solutions for countries willing to improve their corneal supply Methods Design: A descriptive epidemiological worldwide transversal study. A questionnaire consisting of 23 items on keratoplasty and EB was designed. The data was collected from EB staff and corneal specialists via e‐mailing, phone calls or direct interviews during international ophthalmology, eye research or EB congresses Results Data was collected from more than 100 countries; covering a world population of 6.5 billions. Approximately 125 000 keratoplasties are performed each year from the 175 000 corneas collected. US EBs, first corneal exporter, use short‐term storage while Europeans use long term organoculture. Lamellar keratoplasty is a new trend. Surgical indications have 2 profiles: infections for undeveloped countries; keratoconus and bullous keratopathy in industrial countries Conclusion This demand/supply disparity is huge in many developing countries. Decreasing demand requires: 1) Trachoma fight in endemic zones 2) Iatrogenic edema prevention. Increasing supply requires: 1) Corneal donation politic dynamism 2) Local eye banking implantation in each country 3) Optimizing storage technique for better efficiency (retrieved/delivered graft ratio) 4) Bioengineering of endothelial graft.

Since the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a public health emergency, medical societies around the world published COVID-19 recommendations to physicians to ensure patient care and physician safety. During this pandemic, ophthalmologists around the world adapted their clinical and surgical practice following such guidelines. This original research examines all publicly available COVID-19 recommendations from twelve major ophthalmology societies around the world. Methods and analysis Twelve ophthalmology societies recognised by the International Council of Ophthalmology were included in this study. One society per each WHO region was included: the society selected was the one who had the highest number of national COVID-19 confirmed cases on 11 May 2020. In addition to these countries, the major ophthalmology society in each G7 country was included. Results Ten out of 12 major international ophthalmology societies from countries covering all six WHO regions have given recommendations regarding urgent patient care, social distancing, telemedicine and personal protective equipment when caring for ophthalmic patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. While all guidelines emphasise the importance of postponing non-urgent care and taking necessary safety measures, specific recommendations differ between countries. Conclusions As there is no clear consensus on ophthalmology guidelines across countries, this paper highlights the differences in international ophthalmic care recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowledge of the differences in ophthalmic management plans will allow ophthalmologists and all eye care providers to consider the variety of international approaches and apply best practices following evidence-based recommendations during pandemics.
