Ophthalmic drug shortages constitute a significant portion of total drug shortages, the median shortage length is greater than that for all medications, and shortage duration is influenced by patent status.

Visual function and red reflex assessment are inconsistently performed in pediatric primary care, with particularly low rates of red reflex documentation. Screening rates varied between clinics and were affected by age.

These findings highlight missed opportunities for early detection of vision-threatening conditions and identify targets for improving adherence to pediatric vision screening recommendations.

In this cohort study, while clinicians seem to generally use IOP as a continuous risk factor in their treatment patterns, with higher rates of glaucoma therapy at increasing IOP levels, these findings suggest that the historical IOP cutoff of 22 mm Hg may still influence clinician decision-making in glaucoma management.

Improved clinical decision support may be useful to assist clinicians with using IOP as a continuous risk factor in their decision-making.
