Description
Newman-Casey and a large team detail a pragmatic trial design comparing telemedicine eye screening with usual care in Michigan, in a protocol from twenty twenty-six. The earlier program proved feasible under ideal conditions but lacked a comparator. The new trial randomizes nine hundred adults at a community health center. Technology-based screening faces standard optometrist exams head to head.
The intervention bundles refraction, pressure, imaging, and photo tools plus care navigation. Low-cost glasses support and follow-up help are included. Detection of glaucoma, cataract, and diabetic eye disease is the primary outcome. Vision quality of life, satisfaction, and follow-up completion are also tracked. A crossover phase and expert adjudication check diagnostic accuracy both ways.
