Article Synopsis
- Optometrists who use optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a standard tool are more likely to refer patients for specialized glaucoma care compared to those who do not use OCT.
- A study using electronic medical records from 331 optometry practices in Australia analyzed referrals for glaucoma assessments between practices using OCT and those without it.
- Results showed that referrals for glaucoma were significantly higher in OCT practices, with an adjusted odds ratio indicating a 39% increased likelihood of referral for those using OCT.
