W e appreciate the insightful comments of Vasu and Dorairaj on our editorial about “big data” in ophthalmology. , Although these databases offer immense research opportunities, it is essential for both researchers and reviewers to develop rigorous study designs and focus on clinically relevant findings. The authors’ emphasis on educating ophthalmology trainees about large data sets is especially valuable. It may be beneficial for residency and fellowship programs to consider didactic sessions on clinical research methods involving big data. In addition, the authors’ idea of establishing “big data” study guidelines is intriguing and warrants serious consideration from the ophthalmic community. We hope that these publications will promote continued dialogue on this subject.
