The Barometer Program is a global initiative to improve the vision health outcomes of adults with diabetes, including diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME), and those with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), through collaboration, evidence generation, knowledge exchange, and action. We aim to drive improvements in clinical practice by promoting evidence-based interventions, improving patient education, addressing barriers to treatment adherence, and challenging the status quo of accepting suboptimal patient outcomes.

 

Watch the videos below to find out more about the mission of the nAMD Barometer Program and the outcomes of our largest evidence-generation initiative to date, the Barometer Global Survey, with insights from more than 14,000 patients, healthcare professionals, and clinic staff.
