PRECIS: In a diverse nationwide cohort, lower education and income levels, cost saving on medications, fewer past-year medical/specialist visits, and concerns regarding dissimilarity with healthcare providers were risk factors for ophthalmic visit non-adherence among glaucoma patients. PURPOSE: To characterize social and healthcare utilization factors associated with non-adherence with ophthalmic visits among patients with glaucoma. METHODS: Glaucoma patients in the All of Us database who completed the Healthcare Access and Utilization Survey were included and categorized into "visit" and "non-visit" groups based on visit adherence, defined by self-reported past-year encounters with eyecare providers (yes/no)...
