Effectiveness of a Large Language Model-Based Educational Tool on Visual Field Test Reliability in Glaucoma Patients

Effectiveness of a Large Language Model-Based Educational Tool on Visual Field Test Reliability in Glaucoma Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a large language model (LLM)-based audiovisual educational tool improves the test time and reliability of standard automated perimetry (SAP) using the SITA Standard 24-2 protocol in English-speaking glaucoma patients.

Glaucoma is a disease that can lead to blindness if not properly monitored and treated. One of the most important tests for glaucoma is the visual field (VF) test, which checks how well a person can see in different directions. However, this test is difficult for many patients to perform correctly, especially if they don't fully understand how it works. Unreliable test results can lead to repeated visits, wasted time, and incorrect treatment decisions.

This study is testing whether a computer-based educational tool, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), can help patients better understand the VF test before taking it. The study team want to see if this helps make the test results more reliable. The goal is to improve the quality of care while reducing the burden on patients and clinic staff.

The LLMs will be used as an educational tool only, not for the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.

• Best corrected visual acuity in both eyes ≥ 20/40

Exclusion Criteria:

• Unable to comply with study and questionnaires
• Participant has, in the opinion of the investigator, any physical or mental condition that would affect the participation in the study or may interfere with the study procedures, evaluations and outcome assessments.
