Description
Xiangyu Fu and co-authors set out a trial protocol in this 2026 paper on glaucoma, an eye disease that can blind people without warning signs. China has no widely accepted screening model for it, so the team plans to build and test a three-step one for community use.
The model starts with a risk questionnaire, moves to eye checks with image reading helped by artificial intelligence, and ends with firm diagnosis at large hospitals. The trial will enrol 28,275 people across communities, split into no screening, routine screening, and tiered screening groups, with at least six years of follow-up. It will compare detection rates and costs between the groups.
