Abstract
The use of VF testing before surgery in glaucoma Medicare beneficiaries is suboptimal relative to the recommended standard of care. Underutilization is of particular concern in blacks, who are at increased risk of glaucomatous damage. Quality-of-care initiatives are needed to facilitate appropriate preoperative evaluations of glaucoma Medicare beneficiaries for glaucoma surgery.
