Review Description

There is a need to understand existing disparities in glaucoma surgery and to create strategies to eliminate these disparities. Disparities can exist in several aspects of glaucoma surgical management, including patient selection and timing of surgery, type of surgery performed, intra-operative and postoperative surgical complications, follow-up surgical care, and long-term surgical outcomes. Additionally, multiple types of disparities can exist within each of these realms, including disparities by race and ethnicity, age, gender, insurance type, people with disabilities, and other social, economic, and demographic factors. Disparities in glaucoma surgery have been examined in large scale datasets, retrospective clinical studies, and clinical trials, and several studies have identified likely racial and ethnic disparities in glaucoma surgical incidence and outcomes. We present existing literature on disparities in glaucoma surgery, analyze the advantages and limitations of various study designs for the investigation of these disparities, and propose directions for future research and interventions to identify and eliminate disparities in surgical glaucoma care.
