An education-based intervention investigating the accuracy of community-based optometrists evaluating limbal anterior chamber depth
The 4-point LACD grading scale would be more applicable for a case-finding setting. An accessible EP improved agreement and specificity using the joint Royal College of Ophthalmologists/College of Optometrists PAC referral threshold. This EP may reduce false positive PAC referrals and could be rapidly disseminated to CBO. Further research is needed to assess real-world PAC referrals after an education intervention.
