eye disease
Let an agent handle eye diseases as clinical categories, give only general information, stress urgent signs, and direct people to eye care professionals.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

A disease or disorder of the eye and its adnexa, such as cataract, glaucoma, macular degeneration, infections, tumours and inflammatory conditions.
What it is for: Naming conditions that threaten sight so they can be treated and prevented.
It can be diagnose it, by optometrists and ophthalmologists; treat it; screen for it, such as diabetic eye screening; support people with sight loss.
