ophthalmic technician in his clinic. Dr. Kumar approached him about research and they got started talking about possible project ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Krish&#8217;s project: A macular hole is an opening in the center of the retina that can impair central vision. Surgical repair involves removing a thin membrane from the retinal surface, using a dye to make it easier to see. This study compared long-term vision outcomes with two dyes, indocyanine green (ICG) and brilliant blue G (BBG). We reviewed records from 71 patients who underwent surgery performed by a single surgeon using ICG (21 patients) or BBG (50 patients). Statistical analyses compared vision at 24 months and how it changed throughout follow-up. At 3 months, the hole had closed in 90% of patients treated with ICG and 100% treated with BBG. There was no statistically significant difference in vision between the dye groups at 24 months (P = 0.564). Longitudinal analysis showed no significant effect of dye on visual acuity (P = 0.185) or how it changed over time (P = 0.127). Vision improved significantly over time in both groups (P &lt; 0.001). These findings suggest that dye selection may be guided by surgeon preference without compromising visual outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Krish&#8217;s advice: &#8220;Cold emails are one way to get involved in research, but they aren\u2019t the only way. I found research while working at a doctor\u2019s office, somewhere I hadn\u2019t expected to find it. Talk to classmates, professors, coworkers, and others about research, and let them know what interests you. You never know where an opportunity may present itself.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-73fe71e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"73fe71e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-746b4b6\" data-id=\"746b4b6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2580617 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2580617\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Get Connected to Research!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80ded9c elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"80ded9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba8588c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ba8588c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Knights Research Scholars Program<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f020067 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f020067\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Knights Research Scholars Program is <strong>a new initiative that expands research opportunities for the University of Central Florida community.<\/strong><\/p><p>All UCF students can gain valuable research experience through this program.
