Cool experience:
While at @ncspMICHIGAN I did a research project with collaborators from @UMKelloggEye about Medicare glasses coverage in @JAMAOphth:

Patients with glaucoma experience treatment burden
This conceptual framework explains the relationship of glaucoma care activities that cause treatment burden, consequences of glaucoma treatment burden, and factors that influence glaucoma treatment burden.

The way we treat patients influences the burden they feel from glaucoma care
“I feel that she knows me, she cares about me and that she really is keeping track of what’s going on...they are all so efficient and so caring.”

“Well, you know, again, you are frustrated when you know the actual procedures take 15, 20 minutes and you spend 2 hours sitting around.”
The length of appointments increases glaucoma treatment burden

“My biggest gripe about that—I don't know if you’d say it was due to the glaucoma—those lousy field tests. I’ve told them time and time again, I wish I had a machine like that. I’d take it out in the driveway and beat it to a bloody pulp!”

"The Burden of Caring for and Treating Glaucoma: The Patient Perspective"
research with my friends from @UMKelloggEye and @ncspMICHIGAN
caring for glaucoma creates burden for patients, this burden affects their quality of life and can decrease adherence

Important research with my friends from @UMKelloggEye and @dukeeyecenter

“Black patients had larger visual field variability compared with white patients. This relationship was strongly influenced by socioeconomic status and may partially explain racial disparities in glaucoma outcomes.”

Barriers and Facilitators to Obtaining Eyeglasses for Vulnerable Patients in a Michigan Free Clinic
Great article from @UMKelloggEye
"Most (97%) were skeptical about obtaining eyeglasses online because of possible prescription problems."
