SIGHT CLINIC

Prevent Vision Loss

The SIGHT clinic is a pilot study working to improve the rate of detection of severe eye diseases. Eye screenings are conducted using telemedicine. Telemedicine is healthcare where doctors can provide care even when they are not in the same place as the patient by having information and testing sent to them through the electronic health record and the internet.

Ophthalmic technicians, who are like eye nurses, take measurements and photographs of people’s eyes at the Hope clinic. The technician will also help people pick out free or low-cost eyeglasses. This information will be sent through the electronic health record to a University of Michigan eye doctor to read. The technician will see the patient back at a second visit one month later to go over the results and doctor’s treatment recommendations. The technician will help the patient schedule future eye care they can afford if needed.
