Vision care strategy being developed _ Chatham Daily News
1.
The agency responsible for healthcare spending in SarniaLambton and ChathamKent wants to hear from patients about what’s working and what isn’t as it develops a vision care strategy for the area, a spokesperson says. “What we’re looking at is ‘Can people get care when they need it?’” said Shannon Sasseville, with the Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) that also oversees healthcare spending in WindsorEssex. Strategy development includes recruiting three patient volunteers – people who’ve experienced cataract surgery, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy or other eye diseases – to join a Vision Care Steering Committee that includes healthcare providers, Sasseville said. “Patients have that firsthand knowledge that sometimes we don’t have and we really need that,” Sasseville said. Hopes are also to get feedback via a survey, available at eriestclairlihin.on.ca, and in hard copy at some community health centres, doctors’ offices and retirement homes. Strategy planning – expected to continue for the next few months – will be based on the responses and around a 2013 Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care list of strategic recommendations for ophthalmology in the province, Sasseville said. Among its recommendations, LHINs were tasked with planning for an aging contingent of eye surgeons, with one in five expected to hit age 70 by 2016. There are about 15 ophthalmologists in the EssexKentLambton region, but their ages aren’t currently known, Sasseville said. Strategy planners are honing in on the time it takes from referral to surgery, and other treatment options, she said. “We’re really interested in access because access and wait times is always a challenge in many areas of health care.” Access for people with eye emergencies is thought to already be pretty good, she said. “We want to confirm that is the case.” Plans are to also engage optometrists: something that hasn’t happened yet, Sasseville said. “We just haven’t had the opportunity to reach out to everybody yet,” she said.

for feedback, patient advisors By Tyler Kula, Sarnia Observer Thursday, December 29, 2016 3:26:52 EST PM

It’s important optometrists be involved, as they’re integral in the vision care system, said Dr. Jessica St. Pierre Street, an optometrist at Petrolia Optometry – one of about a dozen sites providing printed copies of the LHIN survey. “The main source of referrals for eye surgery … for example, cataract surgery, come from optometrists,” said St. Pierre Street. Optometrists also do pre and postoperation care for ophthalmologists’ patients and help address those patients’ questions and concerns, she said, noting they also do some prescribing and removal of foreign bodies from people’s eyes. It’s more costeffective provincially if people see optometrists for eye emergencies than hospital emerge doctors, she said. Many optometrist services for adults are not covered by OHIP, but annual routine eye exams for people under age 20 are covered. St. Pierre Street also noted uptake has been poor in Lambton and Kent – under three per cent – for an Eye See … I Learn program that offers free eye exams and free glasses, if needed, to kids entering junior kindergarten. “It doesn’t matter what school board they’re in, it doesn’t even matter if they’re homeschooled, if they require glasses, they are provided free of charge,” she said.
