Visual field testing and glaucoma drug prescribing patterns in Australia

This rise has not impacted ophthalmology prescriptions, suggesting that the growing scope of optometric practice effectively reaches a broader patient population, especially amid the public health crisis of undiagnosed glaucoma.
