Saskatchewan expands glaucoma care to optometrists in 42 communities, reducing wait times and improving access.
Saskatchewan launched a two-year pilot program on October 1, expanding publicly funded glaucoma care to licensed optometrists across 42 communities.
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.
By allowing optometrists to deliver care within their scope, the program reduces wait times, eases pressure on ophthalmologists, and enhances system efficiency.
The move aligns Saskatchewan with other western provinces expanding optometrist-led glaucoma services.
