Introduction:

  • Traditionally, many Optometrists, Ophthalmologists and other healthcare providers have stayed away from using remote desktop software in a consulting room.
  • Obviously, there are ethical considerations for one abstaining from remote computer use in a consulting room.
  • However, because of the risk associated with COVID 19 pandemic, a novel approach to develop a safe way for Optometrists, Ophthalmologists and other health care practitioners to evaluate patients at risk of sight loss needs to be considered, explored and further developed.
