SUMMARY:Glaucoma Care for All: Accessing Glaucoma Care at Home and Abroad
DESCRIPTION:A symposium for AAO 2024 attendees\,  cosponsored by Prevent Blindness\nSession: SYM66\nLocation: Grand Ballroom\, S100C \nGlaucoma is a chronic disease requiring ongoing care and is largely silent in its early stages. Patients may lose significant vision either through late diagnosis or through lapses in care. The prevalence of glaucoma is rising\, while the ophthalmology workforce is shrinking. Thus\, detection of glaucoma and delivering care for glaucoma patients\, at home and worldwide\, is especially crucial in vulnerable populations who face special challenges in accessing health care. Potential strategies for improving access to glaucoma care include targeted screening and outreach efforts\, low-cost or telemedicine care programs and building up the workforce of physicians who care for glaucoma patients. Examining\, discussing and propagating these strategies are important for increasing access to care for glaucoma patients. \nChairs:\nSophia Ying Wang\, MD\nKaren M Allison\, MD \n11:30\nExpanding the Workforce to Improve Access to Care for Glaucoma Patients\nEve J Higginbotham\, MD \n11:38\nE-glaucoma Care: Home Monitoring and Telemedicine\nBarbara Marie Wirostko\, MD \n11:46\nAccess to Glaucoma Care in Under-Resourced Countries\nAnil K Mandal\, MD \n11:54\nTargeted Screening for Glaucoma in Vulnerable Populations\nLisa Hark\, PHD \n12:02\nThe Role of Artificial Intelligence in Increasing Access to Glaucoma\nNicolas Jaccard\, BS\, PHD \n12:10\nPanel Discussion \n12:25\nIntroduction to the Shaffer Lecturer\nAndrew George Iwach\, MD \n12:30\nRobert N Shaffer Lecture: Thriving in Glaucoma Practice: Strategies for Excellence and Well-Being\nRuth D Williams\, MD
