remote eye care

Remote eye care, or tele-ophthalmology, involves using technology to assess and monitor eye health from a distance. Patients can share images, videos, or health information with eye doctors through secure digital platforms. This approach allows for screenings, diagnosis, and follow-up consultations without visiting an office, increasing access for those in remote or underserved areas. It enhances convenience, speeds up care, and can identify issues early, prompting timely treatment. While it complements in-person exams, some complex conditions still require in-person evaluation for comprehensive care.
