Thank you, @DukeMedSchool, for featuring our research, "One-third of Glaucoma Patients Miss Regular Eye Appointments." We should make every effort to help our glaucoma patients maintain follow up to preserve sight! @DrJulliaEyeMD @dukeeyecenter @UPMCnews https://t.co/UC7gicBnPV

@actualpatrick Passed the boards? Congrats!

Congratulations!

@eeeejjjaaaa No way, Pittsburgh would be short one awesome ID doc without you!

@SarahAtta18 @cole_residency Congratulations, and well deserved!

In our latest paper, we report that a glaucoma medication-enhancing behavioral intervention dominated standard of care in terms of generating cost savings and greater QALYs. Let’s coach patients about eye drop adherence.

Glaucoma knowledge was limited in veterans with glaucoma, so glaucoma patients at all severities may benefit from educational interventions. @DrJulliaEyeMD @Andrew920 https://t.co/PCIFnZzwlL

[Andrew Williams, MD @Andrew920]

In our latest paper, @DrJulliaEyeMD and team find that glaucoma knowledge is suboptimal across severity levels. All glaucoma patients would likely benefit from educational interventions. https://t.co/wJ4PJqnt34

For those attending @aao_ophth this week, I will be presenting our follow-up study about LTFU in glaucoma using big data at the IRIS Registry symposium on Monday. I am excited to bring attention to this important problem in glaucoma care!

[Andrew Williams, MD @Andrew920]

Loss to follow up is a huge problem in glaucoma. @DrJulliaEyeMD and I found that 1 in 3 glaucoma pts became LTFU over 10 yrs @dukeeyecenter, and lapses in care => poor outcomes. Thank you @eyeandear for the support. We need to help our pts maintain care! https://t.co/u1z9XF4YZl

[Andrew Williams, MD @Andrew920]

I am excited to share my latest paper with @DrJulliaEyeMD and team in @AJOphthalmology! We find that an educational intervention not only improves glaucoma medication adherence, but also is cost effective for the payor. https://t.co/OJ9iUhmU8M

[Andrew Williams, MD @Andrew920]

I am excited to share our latest paper on barriers to eye care, made possible through collaboration with @MOM_PGH, @Pitt_Ophtho, @UPMC Eye Center, and @eyeandear. Medical costs affect eye care access. Data may inform policy solutions. Ophthalmic Research - https://t.co/IT6fzt1wDB

@eeeejjjaaaa Ooof. Welcome back! 👏

Great interview by Ali Syed, MS4 (@alisyed1999) with Andrew Williams, MD (@Andrew920) from UPMC about glaucoma, life in Pittsburgh, and his research within the AAO Iris Registry.

So happy for my wife, @peggyjliu, for having her research featured in the @nytimes! She finds that little gestures of reaching out can lead to high levels of appreciation. Congrats!

[Peggy Liu @peggyjliu]

Excited to share new research forthcoming at JPSP @APA_Journals and summarized in today’s @nytimes article. https://t.co/pmTG3augRC @KatzPittBiz @Pitt_Business @PittTweet @Katee_Min

Ophthalmologists can play a critical role in taking action to address social determinants of vision health. This review outlines collaborative strategies to tackle inequities in eye care: https://t.co/C9uy73lqt6 @Andrew920 #ophthalmology #openaccess

[Andrew Williams, MD @Andrew920]

Social determinants of health affect vision and access to eye care. In our new article, we outline strategies that we, as ophthalmologists, can take to address these needs. Screening for social needs and collaborating with community programs are key! https://t.co/SSBVPyYmP5

Our latest paper describes how we used fundus photography in the ED to identify undiagnosed diabetic retinopathy. @gagankalra_md @actualpatrick "Prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and barriers to eye care among patients with diabetes in the ED" https://t.co/szl852DTCT

Thank you to the Eye and Ear Foundation (@eyeandear) for the opportunity to discuss our initiatives in health services research and community outreach at @Pitt_Ophtho and @UPMC Eye Center. "A conversation with Andrew Williams, MD" https://t.co/kvETOyC1J3

@AkrobetuDennis @HMSeye Congratulations, Dennis! It was nice working with you last year, and I am very excited for your future as an ophthalmologist!
