Training in and comfort with diagnosis and management of ophthalmic emergencies among emergency medicine physicians in the United States	2020-04-29		.txt	text/plain	4159	220	47	CONCLUSIONS: Many participants do not feel comfortable using ophthalmic equipment, performing an eye exam, making vision or potentially life-saving diagnoses, or performing vision-saving procedures, suggesting the need to increase ophthalmic training in EM curricula. Figure 2 summarizes the proportion of responders who feel comfortable diagnosing patients with specific diseases: retinal detachment (RD), acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG), central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), giant cell arteritis (GCA), and acute retrobulbar hematoma (ARBH). In summary, EM physicians surveyed report feeling inadequately prepared by their medical school and residency training to encounter ophthalmic emergencies. • This is the first study to show that emergency medicine physicians in the United States report generally low levels of comfort using basic ophthalmic equipment; performing an eye exam; making vision saving or, in some cases, potentially life-saving diagnoses; and performing vision-saving procedures.	./cache/cord-013921-0aflv1ly.txt	./txt/cord-013921-0aflv1ly.txt
