Potential Gaps in Eye Care Based on Evaluation of Federally Qualified Health Centers
The low prevalence of FQHCs with eye care services and the absence of ophthalmologist-provided care highlight a gap in access to eye care for underserved populations in Florida. These findings support investigations into implementing eye care services and interventions at FQHCs that might enhance access and equity in eye care.
