Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how well ophthalmologists and community health workers (CHWs) agree on detecting shallow anterior chambers using the oblique flashlight test in a community setting.
- A total of 425 individuals underwent eye examinations conducted by one ophthalmologist and two CHWs (a nurse and a non-professional worker), with their agreement analyzed using the weighted kappa statistic.
- The results showed good agreement among all observers, with kappa values indicating moderate to good alignment, suggesting that trained CHWs can effectively screen for shallow anterior chambers, potentially aiding in blindness prevention in communities.
