o Assess and Monitor the burden, risk factors,
and disparity
o Prioritize programs
o Evaluate progress
Individual level characteristics State specific
County estimates Contextual
The Changing Landscape of Surveillance National to Local
Glaucoma Project Community-based Intervention
Reaching High Risk Identify and engage high risk people in underserved communities Provide educational workshops

Future Surveillance Aspirations
Continue and expand collaboration with other federal agencies, professional organizations, academic researchers, and the public health sectors to advise and assist with the national vision and eye health surveillance system
Expand the use of BRFSS to better assess the burden within states
Include vision and eye health assessment in NHANES to generate national and timely data
Use existing data systems, such as the AAO IRIS registry, AAOMORE registry, and other EHRs
Future Research Aspirations Focus on vision health disparity
Develop and implement evidence-based interventions with public health impact that can influence policy and clinical practice. o Scaled up, o Sustained, and o Expanded nationwide
