Barometer Global Survey

What is the Barometer Global Survey?

The Barometer Leadership Coalition designed a global patient, provider, and clinic staff survey to investigate the challenges associated with clinical management of neovascular

age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and diabetic macular edema (DME) from these different perspectives. The survey also identified opportunities to overcome barriers to sub-optimal eye care and practical and meaningful interventions to help improve outcomes for patients.

We had overwhelming participation in the survey! We received more than 14,000 completed responses from 78 clinics* across 24 countries. Thank you to the patients, providers,
and clinic staff who contributed to the survey data.

We are honored and excited to announce that the results of the Barometer Global Survey in nAMD and DME were published in Ophthalmology and Therapy in December, 2024;
