Objective:

To systematically assess the quality and reliability of glaucoma-related online videos on Douyin and Bilibili, and identify factors associated with higher quality content.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• The quality of glaucoma-related videos varied significantly across platforms.
• Videos from professional sources generally had higher quality scores compared to nonprofessional sources.
• Engagement metrics (likes, comments) did not consistently correlate with video quality.

Interpretation:

The findings highlight the need for improved quality control and reliable health information on social media platforms, particularly for conditions like glaucoma that require early detection and management.

Limitations:

• The study focused only on the top 100 videos, which may not represent the entire content landscape.
• The analysis was limited to Chinese platforms, potentially limiting generalizability.

Conclusion:

Enhancing the quality of glaucoma-related content on Douyin and Bilibili is crucial for effective public health communication and patient education.
