Improving Follow-up and Reducing Barriers for Eye Screenings in Communities: The SToP Glaucoma Study.

Obesity, short distance between screening sites and hospital, poor presenting visual acuity in the better eye, and an abnormal macula on fundus photography were associated with increased follow-up rate.

Optimizing Glaucoma Screening in High-Risk Population: Design and 1-Year Findings of the Screening to Prevent (SToP) Glaucoma Study.

A large proportion of individuals screened required ophthalmic services, particularly those who were older and less well educated.

Outcomes and Revenue Generation of a Community-based Screening at a Center in the United States: The SToP Glaucoma Program.

A large community-based vision screening program in Baltimore was able to identify ocular conditions requiring treatment in underserved older adults and connect them to eyecare.

Prevalence of Glaucoma in the United States: The 2005-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

The prevalence of glaucoma based on optic nerve fundus photography assessment in the general US population 40 years of age and older was 2.1%.

Diabetes, Triglyceride Levels, and Other Risk Factors for Glaucoma in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2008.

People who are older, of black race, and with lower income levels have a higher prevalence of glaucoma. A novel association between diabetes, triglyceride levels, and glaucoma is also identified.

Evaluation of Frequency-Doubling Technology Perimetry as a Means of Screening for Glaucoma and Other Eye Diseases Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Using the 2005-2008 waves of the NHANES as a model of population-based screening for eye disease, FDT perimetry lacks both sensitivity and specificity as a means of screening for glaucoma, the presence of retinal disease, or decreased acuity in a population-based setting.

Diabetes, fasting glucose, and the risk of glaucoma: a meta-analysis.

Diabetes, diabetes duration, and fasting glucose levels were associated with a significantly increased risk of glaucoma, and diabetes and fasting glucose levels were associated with slightly higher IOP.
