In this video, Swarup S.Swaminathan, M.D., assistant professor of clinical ophthalmology at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami in Florida, discusses his research into the relationship of the risk of visual impairment from glaucoma and social vulnerability.

By identifying patients with glaucoma who are socially vulnerable, clinicians might intervene sooner and prevent the worsening of visual impairment, he said.

Swaminathan presented the research findings at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting in early November 2023 in San Francisco.
