International Journal of Healthcare Technology and Management (IJHTM), Vol. 3, No. 5/6, 2001

Abstract: Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world. The three standard techniques used in the diagnosis of glaucoma typically have low accuracy in terms of sensitivity and specificity. This study proposes the development of a Web-based Intelligent Glaucoma Screening (WIGS) system, which can identify potential sufferers before actual examination by a specialist. Results indicate that WIGS has an accuracy of over 90%. The resource implications of such a system are discussed.
