Nettleship Classification

Nettleship Classification is a system used by eye doctors to categorize the severity of certain eye conditions, particularly related to the retina or optic nerve. It helps in understanding how advanced a disease is, guiding treatment decisions and prognosis. The classification considers various factors such as the extent of damage, appearance of affected areas, and the level of functional impairment. Essentially, it provides a standardized way to describe the severity and progression of eye diseases, enabling better communication among healthcare providers and more tailored management for patients.
