Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Optometry
  • Primary Care

Background:

  • Optimizing vision care access requires right professional, time, and place.
  • This paper details an integrated vision care delivery framework.
  • Focuses on patient-centered algorithms for diabetic retinopathy and red eye.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrated, patient-centered framework for vision care delivery.
  • To outline specific algorithms for managing diabetic retinopathy and red eye.
  • To describe the collaborative process leading to framework development.

Main Methods:

  • Multidisciplinary collaboration involving ophthalmologists, optometrists, general practitioners, and health department representatives.
  • Development of patient-focused, multidisciplinary algorithms.
