Second OptiVisT paper is out!
ESR Mehal Rathore published her first OptiVisT paper on measures of multiple deprivation and visual field loss in glaucoma clinics in England
In this paper, Mehal Rathore and her colleagues (CITY University London) studied large-scale visual field data from glaucoma clinics in England. In particular, they examined the association between multiple deprivation with late diagnosis and rapid worsening of glaucoma in patients in English hospital eye services (HES). Their findings show that glaucoma severity at presentation to English HES is associated with levels of multiple deprivation. Furthermore their results hints at equity of glaucoma care and outcomes once patients are in English HES.
