    ProtoFlow is a prototype learning framework designed for surgical workflow modeling using dynamic scene graphs.

  • 2

    The framework enhances interpretability and generalizability by identifying recurring structured representations of surgical interactions.

  • 3

    ProtoFlow integrates self-supervised and supervised learning, enabling effective few-shot learning in surgical video analysis.

  • 4

    Evaluation on the CAT-SG dataset demonstrates that ProtoFlow outperforms existing baselines in surgical workflow recognition.

  • 5

    The approach supports qualitative deviation analysis, providing interpretable insights into variations in surgical workflows.

The Myopia Control Kit

Thomas Aller, OD, provides in-depth overviews of each myopia management option—pharmacologic therapy, soft contact lenses, orthokeratology, spectacle lenses, and environmental and behavioral interventions—so clinicians can not only provide the right option to each patient, but also address the larger economic and societal burdens of myopia.
