CHALLENGE
WHILE THIS ALL FEELS VERY GOOD FOR ORGANIZERS AND PARTICIPANTS …
Multitude of activities in a multitude of countries with:
no outcome measures
no apparent change in proportion of glaucoma patients undiagnosed
no apparent change in adherence / persistence with management
One of the Committee’s goals is to try to evolve outcome measures
This would highlight effective strategies and allow improvement in
other approaches
