Comparative evaluation of 2D and 3D YouTube videos as supplementary educational resources for vitreoretinal surgery training.

ABSTRACT: Ophthalmologists and ophthalmology residents (ORs) are increasingly turning to the internet for medical information, underscoring the significant role that YouTube videos, particularly three-dimensional (3D) ones, play in lifelong learning. This study aimed to compare the content and quality of 3D YouTube videos with two-dimensional (2D) videos as supplementary educational tools for vitreoretinal surgery. Data collected included video length (minutes), time elapsed since upload (days), number of views, likes, dislikes, vitreoretinal surgery type, and visualization system. Video popularity and interaction were calculated using the video power index, interaction index, and viewing rate. Two senior ophthalmologists (SOs) and 2 ORs evaluated the videos using the DISCERN, Global Quality Score,
