Glaucoma awareness and barriers to eye testing at a community event in a deprived urban setting

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Understanding local awareness of glaucoma and perceived barriers to eye testing may help equitable community uptake within UK glaucoma detection pathways. Glaucoma prevalence has been reported to be higher in socioeconomically deprived groups. Greater neighbourhood deprivation is also associated with delayed presentation, worse severity at presentation and poorer outcomes [ 1 ].
