Wednesday, November 2, 2011: 8:30 AM
Oral
The Innovative Network for Sight Research (INSIGHT) is a CDC-funded collaborative vision research network of investigators at the Johns Hopkins University, University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Miami, and Wills Eye Institute. INSIGHT’s focus is to assess and evaluate system-level and individual-level factors that impact access to, and the quality of eye care. Site-specific and network studies will investigate barriers and enablers to the delivery of efficacious and cost-effective eye care that prevent vision loss and promote eye health.
Session Objectives: 1. Discuss system-level and individual-level factors that impact access to, and the quality of eye care 2. Identify barriers and enablers to the delivery of efficacious and cost-effective eye care that prevent vision loss and promote eye health
