Application of the Sight Outcomes Research Collaborative Ophthalmology Data Repository for Triaging Patients With Glaucoma and Clinic Appointments During Pandemics Such as COVID-19.

A tool that considers the risk of underlying ophthalmic disease progression from delayed care receipt and the morbidity risk from COVID-19 exposure was developed and implemented, facilitating the triage of upcoming ophthalmic appointments.

Social Deprivation and the Risk of Screening Positive for Glaucoma in the MI-SIGHT Telemedicine-Based Glaucoma Detection Program.

Personal poverty, assessed as not driving a personal vehicle to the appointment, and neighborhood-level poverty were both associated with increased rates of screening positive for glaucoma or suspected glaucoma.

Facilitators and Barriers to Glaucoma Screening Identified by Key Stakeholders in Underserved Communities: A Community-engaged Research Approach.

CER enables researchers to identify community-specific barriers and facilitators, allowing more effective program implementation.

Michigan Screening and Intervention for Glaucoma and Eye Health Through Telemedicine (MI-SIGHT): Baseline Methodology for Implementing and Assessing a Community-based Program.

The MI-SIGHT Program may serve as a model for glaucoma screening and care in high-risk communities.

Michigan Screening and Intervention for Glaucoma and Eye Health Through Telemedicine Program: First-Year Outcomes and Implementation Costs.

Telemedicine eye disease detection programs in low-income community clinics effectively identify high rates of pathology.

Association of Contrast Sensitivity With Eye Disease and Vision-Related Quality of Life.

While CS alone is not sufficient to identify people with eye disease, it is an important measure of visual function that can add value to comprehensive eye screening.

Engagement in the Michigan Screening and Intervention for Glaucoma and Eye Health through Telemedicine Program: Comparing the Effect of Clinic versus Community-Based Recruitment Strategies.

The Community Advisory Board recommendation to use community-based recruitment strategies in addition to clinic-based strategies for recruitment resulted in increased program participation. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE(S): Proprietary or commercial disclosure may be found after the references.

Visual Impairment from Uncorrected Refractive Error among Participants in a Novel Program to Improve Eye Care Access among Low-Income Adults in Michigan.

URE was the main cause of VI at 2 clinics serving low-income communities and was associated with reduced vision-related quality of life.

A Screening Strategy to Mitigate Vision Impairment by Engaging Adults Who Underuse Eye Care Services.

The findings of this study suggest that placing eye disease detection programs in primary care clinics in underserved areas may improve eye disease detection and treatment, possibly mitigating needless vision loss in the US.

Performance of Optic Disc Optical Coherence Tomography Normative Database in a Large, Diverse, Real-World Cohort.

OCT normative databases should accurately reflect diverse populations to avoid misclassification by RNFL thickness color codes. Larger data sets should be leveraged to encompass the full spectrum of healthy optic nerve anatomy.
