Philadelphia Telemedicine Glaucoma Detection and Follow-Up Study

Wills Eye·interventional·Posted Mar 17, 2015·Updated Aug 22, 2022

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Free Eye Screenings, Enhanced Intervention, and 1 other intervention for Glaucoma and 12 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 906 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The goal is to conduct a 5-year prospective, randomized controlled trial to test an innovative, community-based intervention using posterior and anterior fundus photography of the optic nerve and macula and intraocular eye pressure measurements to improve access and utilization of eye care to detect, treat, and manage high-risk patients with previously undiagnosed glaucoma and other eye diseases. Research shows that subject failure to attend follow-up eye care appointments diminishes any previous benefits of community screenings for glaucoma. Greater adherence to follow-up visits can reduce glaucomatous blindness.
