Healthy Eyes

The Flaum Eye Institute's Population Health Strategy

Our mission is to reach out to people within and beyond traditional eye care sites in a systematic and data driven manner to promote eye health and prevent vision loss/blindness.

The goal is to Significantly Reduce the percentage of people with ocular disease to end blindness/preserve vision and reduce health care costs.

Reaching Out to At Risk Populations

Across the lifespan, certain groups are vulnerable to the simplest and most complex vision problems. We seek to improve access to healthcare through technology driven innovation and outreach to create awareness about eye disease and improve outcomes.

Eye Glasses for Kids

Population Health Outcomes Research

Flaum Eye Institute participates in data science projects on local, regional, national and international levels using population health modeling to understand the causes of why vision loss progresses with the goal of earlier detection and intervention to enhance lives.
