Teleophthalmology: Bridging Gaps in Eye Care

Teleophthalmology plays a vital role in bridging gaps in eye care by leveraging telecommunications technology to provide remote diagnosis, consultation, and management of ocular conditions. Particularly beneficial in underserved or remote areas lacking access to specialized eye care, teleophthalmology facilitates timely and efficient delivery of services, overcoming barriers of distance and limited resources. Through teleconsultations, patients can receive expert evaluation and guidance from ophthalmologists without the need for physical travel, reducing wait times and healthcare costs. Moreover, teleophthalmology enables screening programs for diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and other sight-threatening conditions, facilitating early detection and intervention. By expanding access to eye care services and promoting collaboration among healthcare providers, teleophthalmology contributes to improving visual outcomes and reducing the global burden of preventable blindness.
