Black patients and Optometry

Black optometrists: eye exams, glasses, contacts, and disease detection. Black adults face 2 to 3 times higher glaucoma rates, and routine exams catch it early.

Black adults are 3 to 4 times more likely to develop primary open-angle glaucoma than white adults, develop it 10 years earlier on average, and are 6 times more likely to go blind from it (Prevent Blindness, 2023). Diabetic retinopathy and cataracts are also more common and progress faster. Optometrists (ODs) perform comprehensive eye exams, prescribe glasses and contacts, screen for eye disease, and co-manage chronic eye conditions with ophthalmologists.

What optometrists cover

  • Annual comprehensive eye exams
  • Glasses and contact lens fittings
  • Glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration screening
  • Vision therapy for binocular and focus disorders
  • Dry eye treatment
