In this study, we sought (1) to compare the accuracy and readability of Google and ChatGPT responses to patients' glaucoma-related frequently asked questions (FAQs) and (2) to evaluate ChatGPT's capacity to improve glaucoma patient education materials by accurately reducing the grade level at which they are written.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>We executed a Google search to identify the three most common FAQs related to 10 search terms associated with glaucoma diagnosis and treatment. Each of the 30 FAQs was inputted into both Google and ChatGPT and responses were recorded. The accuracy of responses was evaluated by three glaucoma specialists while readability was assessed using five validated readability indices. Subsequently, ChatGPT was instructed to generate patient education materials at specific reading levels to explain seven glaucoma procedures. The accuracy and readability of procedural explanations were measured.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>ChatGPT responses to glaucoma FAQs were significantly more accurate than Google responses (97 vs 77% accuracy, respectively, <i>p</i> < 0.001). ChatGPT responses were also written at a significantly higher reading level (grade 14.3 vs 9.4, respectively, <i>p</i> < 0.001). When instructed to revise glaucoma procedural explanations to improve understandability, ChatGPT reduced the average reading level of educational materials from grade 16.6 (college level) to grade 9.4 (high school level) (<i>p</i> < 0.001) without reducing the accuracy of procedural explanations.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>ChatGPT is more accurate than Google search when responding to glaucoma patient FAQs. ChatGPT successfully reduced the reading level of glaucoma procedural explanations without sacrificing accuracy, with implications for the future of customized patient education for patients with varying health literacy.</p><p><strong>Clinical significance: </strong>Our study demonstrates the utility of ChatGPT for patients seeking information about glaucoma and for physicians when creating unique patient education materials at reading levels that optimize understanding by patients. An enhanced patient understanding of glaucoma may lead to informed decision-making and improve treatment compliance.</p><p><strong>How to cite this article: </strong>Cohen SA, Fisher AC, Xu BY, <i>et al.</i> Comparing the Accuracy and Readability of Glaucoma-related Question Responses and Educational Materials by Google and ChatGPT.

The original tube is then removed from the anterior chamber, and the original entry site is closed. The tip of the original Baerveldt/Ahmed tubing is shortened to near the plate, and the lumen is stretched open using Burke's forceps (nontoothed to avoid damage to the tubing) while the appropriate length of the Paul tube was being pushed inside and is secure without the need for any suturing. The new smaller Paul tube is then inserted back into the anterior chamber using a 26-gauge tract. An 8-0 Ethilon® was then used to secure the tube to the sclera, and TISSEL® was used to secure it (Baxter, United States). Depending on the positioning, either the original Tutoplast® pericardium or new double-layered Tutoplast® can be placed over the tube to prevent erosion. The Tenon's and conjunctiva were then closed to secure the conjunctival and Tenon's back in their original position at the limbus, and the radial conjunctival incisions can be closed using TISSEL® fibrin glue or further sutures if required.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This method offers several benefits over previously documented techniques; it avoids significant bulkiness, and the elongated tube conforms to the curvature of the globe owing to the suitable rigidity of the extended section. The additional tubing segment fits securely without the need for sutures. Introducing a smaller diameter tube into the anterior chamber in comparison to other GDDs minimizes the surface area between the tube and corneal endothelium, therefore decreasing the rate of potential endothelium cell loss.</p><p><strong>Clinical significance: </strong>This novel \"tube-in-tube\" technique is efficient, safe, and straightforward to perform. It eliminates the need for alterations in glaucoma medication since the PGI is not thought to offer any flow resistance.</p><p><strong>How to cite this article: </strong>Berman T, Au L.
