Compute probability of having glaucoma given the intraocular pressure

Contributed by: Siria Sadeddin

ResourceFunction["GlaucomaRisk"][p]

returns the probability of having glaucoma given the intraocular pressure p.

Details

p should be a nonnegative real number, a String or a Quantity.

If p is a number with no unit, millimeters of mercury is taken as the pressure unit.

If p is a String, the corresponding pressure unit should be provided, e.g. "10 mmHg".

p can be given as a Quantity whose unit is a pressure unit.

The result of ResourceFunction["GlaucomaRisk"] is returned as a percentage.

Intraocular pressure is the only modifiable variable used to prevent or delay progression of glaucoma.
