World Uveitis Day

The Qatar Society of Ophthalmology and the Saudi Uveitis Group have recently launched the World Uveitis Day website.
The World Uveitis Day (WUD) was founded through the work of the Qatar Society of Ophthalmology and the Saudi Uveitis Group, under the leadership of the International Ocular Inflammation Society (IOIS), and major partnerships with the International Uveitis Study Group (IUSG), the Middle East & Africa Ophthalmology Uveitis Society (MEACO-US), and the Foster Ocular Immunology Society (FOIS). Key global uveitis experts and leaders have supported this initiative. Everyone is united to promote early detection of uveitis and its evidence-based care, to help patients and practitioners, and to prevent uveitis-related ocular complications and blindness.
The World Uveitis Day site has been created to make it easier to access reliable trustworthy information, and to raise awareness among people around the world about sight-threatening uveitis and ocular inflammatory diseases. On our website, patients, family members, care givers, and practitioners will be able to learn more about uveitis, treatments, and care options and identify and discover opportunities for uveitis disease knowledge on different levels.
The inaugural celebration of the World Uveitis Day will take place on April 10, 2026, in Doha, Qatar, where the initial concept first emerged. It will occur in association with the Second Qatar Uveitis Seminar to be held on April 11, 2026.
The OR Microscope – The Danger Zone
By Mostafa Bondok, Patrick Gooi, and R. Rishi Gupta
The Surgical Chair
Ergonomic positioning in the OR begins with the surgical chair. Key features to consider include adjustable height (manual or electric), vertically adjustable lumbar support with horizontal adjustability when available, and a locking mechanism that provides stability. Features of commonly used chairs are provided in the images below.
The locking mechanism, when engaged, stabilizes the surgeon and improves fine motor control by allowing relaxation of the core and large stabilizing muscles. However, this same feature can “trap” the surgeon in a suboptimal position. Once alignment is achieved and the chair locked, it is important to recognize that periodic unlocking and micro-adjustments may be necessary as the case progresses and patient positioning shifts.

Optimize and Renew Your Form
Before the case begins, a brief “form check” is advisable. Relax your body, keep your neck neutral, stack your joints, and drop your shoulders down and back. Your back should be supported by the chair’s lumbar support, and your weight evenly distributed along the seat. Position arms and legs in a comfortable, symmetric posture, with pedals at a distance that doesn’t force reaching forward or backward. Finally, aim for hips slightly higher than knees (i.e., just over 90 degrees).
Poor ergonomic habits in the OR rarely reflect neglect. More often, they arise from cognitive load, time pressure, or fatigue. Surgeons may begin a case with excellent alignment, only to find that concentration, difficult anatomy, or prolonged duration gradually erode posture. When possible, distributing complex cases across the surgical schedule may reduce cumulative musculoskeletal strain in addition to cognitive fatigue.
The OR Microscope: A Static Trap
The OR microscope introduces a unique ergonomic challenge. Once the eyes are engaged in the oculars, the body tends to become fixed in position. If alignment is non-optimal, the surgeon may remain locked in a static, non-neutral posture for extended periods. Traditional advice to “sit up straight” is incorrect. Sustaining a rigid, upright posture increases muscular effort and often leads to compensatory strain. A more effective approach is to assess where the eyes would naturally fall if the body were completely relaxed. Any sensation of effort required to maintain ocular alignment should be treated as a signal that adjustments to the microscope, chair, and/or patient positioning should be made.
Three-Dimensional Alignment: OR microscope ergonomics can be conceptualized along three axes:
X-axis alignment – refers to left–right positioning. If the microscope is not centred relative to the surgeon, subtle lateral leaning or trunk side-bending occurs. Even small asymmetries can lead to uneven loading of paraspinal muscles and facet joints over time.

Y-axis alignment – reflects vertical positioning relative to the patient and surgical bed. When seated too low, surgeons compensate with cervical extension, increasing load on posterior cervical elements and paraspinal musculature. When seated too high, forward trunk and neck flexion predominate, increasing anterior cervical disc pressure, upper trapezius strain, and lumbar loading.

Z-axis alignment – refers to forward–backward positioning. Physical constraints imposed by chairs and pedals may prevent surgeons from positioning themselves close enough to the operative field, encouraging forward leaning. This increases lumbar disc pressure and thoracic flexion, often accompanied by compensatory cervical extension. Positioning the patient’s head closer to the edge of the headrest, when safely tolerated, can help reduce the need to reach forward.

EyeNovation: Ocular Trauma: Lessons Learned

Join us for our next EyeNovation webinar, “Ocular Trauma: Lessons Learned”, presented by Dr. Peter Veldman
This webinar will take place on February 17th from 7:00 PM EST to 8:00 PM EST
Drawing on extensive real-world trauma experience and surgical expertise, Dr. Veldman will share practical insights into evaluating, repairing, and managing complex ocular injuries. This session will distill high-yield lessons applicable for comprehensive ophthalmologists, cornea specialists, and trainees alike.

Dr. Peter Veldman, Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Science at the University of Chicago, is an acclaimed corneal specialist focusing on the management of corneal diseases, particularly endothelial dysfunction. He completed his MD at the University of Pennsylvania, followed by an Ophthalmology residency at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary/Harvard Medical School, where he served as Chief Resident. He gained further specialization during his Cornea fellowship at the Devers Eye Institute under Drs. Mark Terry and Michael Straiko.
Dr. Veldman is a leading authority in Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK), a minimally invasive procedure for treating disorders like Fuchs dystrophy. His significant contributions, including the advent of the S-stamp and the Venn Technique (right-side up graft injection), have refined surgical precision and facilitated the global adoption of DMEK. His research on endothelial keratoplasty, surgical innovation, and his widely utilized educational website, patientready.org, have played a seminal role in advancing the standard of corneal care.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Apply a systematic approach to complex cases
- Refine suturing techniques to optimize wound integrity and visual outcomes
- Assess the refractive impact of corneal lacerations and incisions
36th Annual Jack Crawford Day Conference
Event Date: April 17th, 2026 from 8AM – 4PM EST
