Summary
This summary is machine-generated.ChatGPT demonstrated good accuracy in glaucoma, improving significantly after self-correction. This large language model shows promise for glaucoma information, but requires further validation.
Area Of Science
- Ophthalmology
- Artificial Intelligence
- Medical Informatics
Background
- Publicly available large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being explored for medical applications.
- Evaluating the accuracy and safety of LLMs in specialized medical domains like glaucoma is crucial.
Purpose Of The Study
- To assess the accuracy, comprehensiveness, and safety of ChatGPT, a large language model, in the sub-domain of glaucoma.
- To evaluate the impact of self-correction on the LLM's responses.
Main Methods
- Twenty-four clinically relevant glaucoma questions across diagnosis, treatment, surgeries, and emergencies were curated.
- Responses from ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) were evaluated by a panel of three glaucoma specialists.
- Poorly performing responses were prompted for self-correction and re-evaluated.
Main Results
- The expert panel's mean score for ChatGPT responses was 3.29 out of 4.
- Seven out of 24 responses (29.2%) initially scored 3 or less.
- After self-correction, the proportion of fully accurate responses increased from 30.6% to 57.1% (p=0.026).
Conclusions
- Large language models like ChatGPT show potential in the field of glaucoma.
- The self-correction capability of LLMs can significantly improve response quality.
- Further research and validation are necessary for the clinical application of LLMs in glaucoma.

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
