Treatments
Experimental: Control, standard optometric examination
Participants will receive usual care with an optometrist with a biomicroscopic exam at the Federally Qualified Health Center to identify eye disease.
Experimental: Intervention, technology enhanced eye disease detection protocol
Participants will receive a technology enhanced eye disease detection protocol from ophthalmic technicians that includes measurements of visual function such as visual acuity, refraction, intraocular pressure, pachymetry, external eye and fundus photography, and optical coherence tomography of the macula and retinal nerve fiber layer. The optometrist at the Federally. Qualified Health Center will then use a protocol to grade the testing and identify eye disease. The results of the grading will inform whether the person receives a brief appointment with the optometrist (if no disease is detected) or an in-depth appointment with the optometrist (if there is disease detected).
