flag Saskatchewan expands glaucoma care to optometrists in 42 communities, reducing wait times and improving access.

flag Saskatchewan launched a two-year pilot program on October 1, expanding publicly funded glaucoma care to licensed optometrists across 42 communities. flag The initiative, developed with the Saskatchewan Association of Optometrists, aims to improve access to glaucoma assessment, testing, monitoring, and follow-up, especially in rural and remote areas. flag By allowing optometrists to deliver care within their scope, the program reduces wait times, eases pressure on ophthalmologists, and enhances system efficiency. flag The move aligns Saskatchewan with other western provinces expanding optometrist-led glaucoma services.
