Teleglaucoma in the community: Taking it to the neighborhood
2019
Overview
Goals include providing accessible, convenient, and efficient care; using improved imaging and diagnostic modalities (portable fundus cameras, smartphone cameras, tablet- or virtual reality-based visual field testing, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography); increasing rates of diagnosed and treated glaucoma; and allowing glaucoma specialists to focus on advanced disease and surgical work. Walmart Vision Centers were chosen as partners for the EQUALITY program because in the rural areas of Alabama, where the project is based, Walmart stores are often the largest, or only, retail centers and therefore provide a convenient central point of access for the target population, Dr. Rhodes explained. Since the screenings are conducted at a regularly staffed clinic, patients know that they can readily return for follow-up visits, while the optometrists can bill for their services, making the project more sustainable. Based on a review of teleglaucoma programs, the keys to success that Dr. Rhodes has identified include targeting high-risk populations; choosing imaging modalities based on budget, convenience, and portability; engaging community partners to spread awareness and increase attendance; and utilizing patient navigators, social workers, and technology to increase follow-up adherence rates.
