How Will The Ophthalmologist Shortage Impact Your Next Study?

The aging population in the U.S. is driving an increased demand for specialty eye care, yet a significant shortage of ophthalmologists poses challenges for clinical trials. This scarcity affects both ophthalmic and non-ophthalmic studies, complicating patient access to necessary eye assessments for trials and potentially jeopardizing trial success and efficiency. To address these issues, 20/20 Onsite has implemented Mobile Vision Clinics that offer on-site eye assessments, improving trial efficiency and enhancing patient experiences. These mobile services streamline clinical trial protocols, reduce start-up times, and provide high-quality care, thereby alleviating some risks associated with the ophthalmologist shortage. As the demand for eye care continues to rise, mobile clinics are becoming crucial for the successful execution of clinical trials.
