Overview

Randomized trial assesses educational quality of YouTube videos on red light therapy in eye diseases, suggesting improvements are needed.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the educational quality and reliability of YouTube videos about red light therapy for eye diseases.
  • Comprehensive search for videos on YouTube using specific keywords.
  • Exclusion of videos based on predefined criteria and independent evaluations by two ophthalmologists.
  • Statistical analysis of video metrics, including Global Quality Score and engagement-related parameters.
  • Out of 110 videos, 57 were included; 82.5% were low-to-moderate quality and 17.5% were high quality.
  • High-quality videos, often uploaded by physicians, showed significantly higher views and likes.
  • Engagement metrics like likes did not reliably indicate the informational quality of the videos.
