The more difficult finding is that clinical agreement does not guarantee timely treatment.<\/p><p class=\"content-p\">Delay is most often created by patient readiness, follow-up reliability, affordability, and system movement. These factors sit outside the retinal image, but they determine whether the clinical recommendation arrives soon enough to matter.<\/p><p class=\"content-p\">The most useful next step is therefore to measure and redesign the whole treatment clock: detection, referral, explanation, authorization, attendance, treatment, and continued follow-up.
