All videos were evaluated numbers of likes, dislikes, comments, view, daily viewing rate, uploaded source (physicians, public/private institution, or health channel), country of origin, video type (patient experience, scholarly information), and contents (clinic, treatment or both of them), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), DISCERN, global quality (GQS) and usefulness scores by two independent ophthalmologists.
Results:Eighty eight videos of the top 100 videos met the criteria. The mean DISCERN, JAMA, GQS and usefulness score were 44.81 ± 14, 1.66 ± 0.58, 2.81 ± 0.93 and 2.05 ± 1.24, respectively. 52 (59.1%) videos were uploded by physicians and 36 (40.9%) videos were uploded by non-physicians.
