Jay Katz, MD  Wills Eye Hospital Glaucoma Research Center and Telemedicine Department, and Temple University Hospital, Philadelphia, PA Purpose Results Results To determine the agreement between a community-based, telemedicine screening diagnosis and confirmation eye exam results in the Philadelphia Telemedicine Glaucoma Detection and Follow-Up Study. Following the telemedicine-screening (Visit 1), 40.9% (n=351/859) had a normal screening result, 36.2% (n=311/859) were diagnosed with an abnormal image or suspicious discs, 6.4% (55/859) had OHTN with normal discs, and 16.5% (n=142/859) had unreadable images. A total of 305 subjects completed both the screening Visit 1 and confirmation eye exam at Visit 2 (Table1). Of the 311 subjects with abnormal results at Visit 1: 32.8% were glaucoma-suspect (n=102) 7.7% had diabetic retinopathy (n= 24) 7.7% had other retinal pathology (n= 24) Of the 198 individuals who were diagnosed with suspicious discs at the screening Visit 1 and attended the confirmation eye exam at Visit 2, 142/198 (71.7%) were confirmed as glaucoma or glaucoma suspect. Of the 56 subjects who were diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy at the screening Visit 1 and attended the confirmation Visit 2, 36/56 (64.2%) were confirmed as having diabetic retinopathy. Methods Subjects (African American, Hispanic, or Asian individuals age >40; Caucasian age >65; and those age >40 with diabetes or a family history of glaucoma) were offered eye screenings (Visit 1) in primary care practices (PCP) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC). Visit 1 consisted of an ocular, medical, and family history; fundus photographs using a non-mydriatic, auto-focus, hand-held fundus camera (Volk, Ohio, USA); IOP measurements (iCare, Helsinki, Finland); and visual acuity (Snellen). Subjects with abnormal images, ocular hypertension (OHTN) (IOP >21 mm Hg), and unreadable images were invited for an eye exam in the same community location (Visit 2). Table 1: Demographic and Clinical Characteristics of Philadelphia Telemedicine Glaucoma Detection Study Subjects (N=305) Variable Data Age (y), mean (SD) 58.2 (10.3) Gender, Male (%) 43.9 African American (%) 74.1  Caucasian (%) 18.0 Family history of glaucoma (%) 24.3 Glaucoma suspect (%) 45.0 Primary open angle glaucoma (%) 9.5 Normal tension glaucoma (%) 0.3 Ocular hypertension (%) 0.2 Diabetic retinopathy (%) 11.8 Other retinal pathology (%) 8.5 Conclusion This project clearly demonstrates how a community-based telemedicine screening program can improve access, detection, and follow-up eye care of individuals at high-risk for glaucoma and other eye diseases. The community-based, telemedicine eye screening effectively detected new cases of glaucoma, glaucoma suspect, diabetic retinopathy, and other retinal pathology.
