  "textContent": "Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and often goes undiagnosed until vision loss is advanced. Population-wide screening has long been considered impractical, but recent advances in AI may provide a more viable option. According to a paper published in The Lancet Primary Care, a new AI-based screening tool reduces the number of unnecessary referrals for glaucoma by half, while maintaining a similar level of accuracy to eye doctor diagnoses.",
