Objective: To address gaps in the downstream accountability of medical AI through a case study on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) diagnosis and severity classification.

Purpose: The optimal management of pediatric traumatic macular holes (TMH) is unclear from lack of prospective randomized trials. The literature is divided into early (≤1month post-trauma), delayed (>1 month) pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), and observation. Our aim is to find which group can achieve best-superior spectacle corrected visual acuity (VA), visual gain, and time for hole closure.
