Barometer Global Survey
What is the Barometer Global Survey?
The Barometer Leadership Coalition designed a global patient, provider, and clinic staff survey to investigate the challenges associated with clinical management of nAMD, DR, and DME from these different perspectives. The survey also identified opportunities to overcome barriers to sub-optimal eye care and practical and meaningful interventions to help improve outcomes for patients.
We had overwhelming participation in the survey! We received over 14,000 completed responses from 78 clinics* across 24 countries. Thank you to the patients, providers, and clinic staff that contributed to the survey data.
The data generated by the survey will inform future Barometer developments, including interventions aimed at optimizing care, reducing the burden on patients and clinics, and improving long-term outcomes.
Data from the overall cohort was presented for the first time at EURETINA 2023; to read the abstracts, click on the titles below:
Country reports are being developed to help clinics identify and understand potential areas for improvement at a local level.
Stay tuned for more presentations, publications, and materials from the Global Survey!
