Better Glaucoma Care Starts with Listening to Patients: Join Us in Supporting the National Patient Voices Survey 🔬 Clinical data can show how glaucoma progresses. However, only patients can explain how diagnosis, monitoring and treatment affect their confidence, independence and everyday lives. 💡 To better understand these lived experiences—and to translate that understanding into meaningful improvements in care—the Glaucoma UK National Patient Voices Survey was launched. Glaucoma UK is inviting people in the UK who live with glaucoma, or are being monitored for the condition, to share their experiences anonymously. The survey aims to gather evidence that can inform future services, professional practice and healthcare policy. Although the survey focuses on the UK, its underlying message is internationally relevant: Meaningful improvements in glaucoma care require patient experience to be considered alongside clinical evidence. The findings may also offer valuable insights for glaucoma organisations, healthcare professionals, researchers and policymakers in other countries. Different healthcare systems face different challenges, but many patient concerns—access to care, communication, treatment burden, continuity and quality of life—are shared across borders. 🔊 We are pleased to share this important initiative and encourage eligible patients in the UK to take part in the survey and share their experiences. Healthcare professionals can also help by making patients aware of the opportunity to participate. International colleagues can support the wider message by amplifying the importance of patient voice and encouraging similar initiatives in their own countries. Every experience adds to the evidence. Every patient voice can help shape better glaucoma care. 📅 The survey is open until 6 September 2026. #Glaucoma #PatientVoice #PatientCentredCare #Ophthalmology #EyeHealth #GlobalHealth #SharedDecisionMaking #HealthcarePolicy
The National Patient Voices Survey has officially launched today! We’re asking eye care professionals to share this survey with your patients. By gathering as many responses as possible, we want to create a dataset that can’t be ignored. The results will then be turned into a report to help shape realistic, meaningful improvements in glaucoma care for patients and professionals alike.
