Telemedicine Applications in Pediatric Retinal Disease. Journal of clinical medicine Pathipati, A. S., Moshfeghi, D. M. 2017; 6 (4)

Abstract

Teleophthalmology is a developing field that presents diverse opportunities. One of its most successful applications to date has been in pediatric retinal disease, particularly in screening for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Many studies have shown that using telemedicine for ROP screening allows a remote ophthalmologist to identify abnormal findings and implement early interventions. Here, we review the literature on uses of telemedicine in pediatric retinal disease and consider future applications.
