Glaucoma is a chronic neurodegenerative disease of the visual system, and treatment is targeted toward lowering intraocular pressure. However, some patients fail to respond to treatment and their intraocular pressure levels remain high, risking continuous vision loss. Explainable machine learning provides a mechanism for both individual prognostication

Mitomycin C versus 5-Fluorouracil for wound healing in glaucoma surgery. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Raised intraocular pressure is a risk factor for glaucoma. One treatment option is glaucoma drainage surgery (trabeculectomy). Antimetabolites are used during surgery to reduce postoperative scarring during wound healing. Two agents in common
