Medical Management of Glaucoma
Abstract
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. It is estimated that by the year 2000, 66.8 million people will be affected, of whom 6.7 million will be blind in both eyes.1 Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy in which the axons of the optic nerve die and the plates of lamina cribrosa collapse, leading to loss of optic-nerve tissue and excavation, or “cupping,” of the ophthalmoscopically visible optic-nerve head. When sufficient axonal loss occurs, peripheral vision declines; loss of central vision occurs much later. Most forms of glaucoma are painless, and the loss of vision is insidious. . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
