The primary goal of this project was to investigate Canadian ophthalmology residency program directors' and department heads' perceptions about the relative importance of the various components of the Canadian Residency Matching Service (CaRMS) application package. Secondary goals were: (i) to investigate the perceptions of all program directors and department heads at Queen's University's residency programs; and (ii) to compare faculty's perceptions with the perceptions of medical students at Queen's University. ⋯ Faculty and students agreed on the most important components of the application, but significant differences were found in their perceptions of the relative importance of other components.

Comparative Study
Comparison of satisfaction after direct browplasty in Asian patients with and without brow tattoo.
To determine patient-based scar assessment after direct browplasty for correction of brow ptosis between Asian female patients with and without brow tattoos. ⋯ According to the PSAQ, mean scores of appearance, symptoms, and consciousness regarding surgical scar after direct browplasty were relatively low. Asian patients who underwent direct browplasty were generally satisfied with overall appearance and comfort of their scar regardless of brow tattoo lines, despite the statistical difference in their satisfaction with appearance.
