This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a mobile telehealth screening program can catch glaucoma early in people at highest risk. The screening uses portable eye imaging cameras and simple eye pressure tests delivered through community health centers. Researchers want to see if this approach finds more cases of glaucoma than just giving people educational materials.
Glaucoma often has no symptoms until vision is already damaged, which is why early detection is critical. This trial exists to see whether bringing eye screening technology directly to high-risk communities — rather than waiting for people to visit an eye doctor — can help catch the disease sooner and improve people's overall eye health and quality of life.

You will be randomly assigned to either receive mobile eye screening right away or to receive educational materials about eye health (with the option to get screened later). The screening involves visiting a community health center for quick, painless eye imaging and pressure tests. Researchers will follow up with you about a year after screening to ask about your vision health and quality of life.
