Eye Health Intervention Study in Upper Manhattan
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Glaucoma, Suspect, Diabetic Retinopathy, Cataract, Refractive Errors, Vision Impairment and Blindness
In brief
Individuals living in Upper Manhattan have limited access to eye care, high vision impairment rates, and poor ocular health outcomes. To improve eye care and vision health outcomes, the Eye Health Intervention Study in Upper Manhattan (EYES-UM) will conduct eye health screenings in accessible primary care health centers and senior centers and implement a behavioral intervention to improve adherence for those referred for in-office eye care. The proposed innovative, 2:1 cluster-randomized clinical trial, will recruit adults age 40 and older in Upper Manhattan with known rates of inadequate eye care. A total of 10 settings in Upper Manhattan, comprised of primary care offices, senior centers, and organizations, confirms access to 17,000 individuals living at or below the NYC.gov poverty measure. This study will conduct ocular tests (visual acuity, intraocular pressure, fundus images) during screenings. To ensure that all participants receive the basic level of service, all participants who fail the eye health screening will be seen the same day by a study optometrist and eyeglasses will be provided at no charge. Educational workshops and an Advisory Board will support recruitment. Intervention Arm participants will receive ongoing support with scheduling eye exams and transportation by trained Study Coordinators. All participants will be followed prospectively for 2 years. The study is guided by the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) Framework. Conducting Focus Groups with health policy stakeholders ensures iterative input during the study to bridge and translate EYES-UM findings into a Vision Health Policy Roadmap for scalable implementation of vision care delivery models, focusing on adherence.
