To assess delay in referring patients with suspected glaucoma two methods were studied in a randomised trial: direct referral from optician to ophthalmologist and referral through the patient's general practitioner. Direct referral was reliable for all 49 patients involved, whereas, of the 44 patients referred through their general practitioner, seven waited over three weeks for referral.
为评估疑似青光眼患者转诊延迟情况，在一项随机试验中研究了两种方法：从验光师直接转诊至眼科医生，以及通过患者的全科医生转诊。对于所涉及的全部49名患者，直接转诊是可靠的，而在通过全科医生转诊的44名患者中，有7名等待转诊超过了三周。
