A Comparative Effectiveness Analysis of Visual Field Outcomes After Projected Glaucoma Screening Using SD-OCT in African American Communities [Glaucoma]

Conclusions. Our findings suggest that community SD-OCT screening in an African American population will minimize glaucoma-related visual morbidity. Ideally, strategies to maximize treatment efficacy through improved medication adherence and improved compliance with follow-up should be identified and implemented before instituting a screening program.
