Abstract
Introduction: Teleophthalmology is the application of telecommunications technology to eye care at a distance. Although many papers have been published on this subject over the last decade, none of them has attempted to classify publications based on the types of eye problems they focus on or the other aspects of eye care they address, such as method of delivery.
Objective: This chapter seeks to review published papers on teleophthalmological projects, regardless of the main aims of those projects, and it will list and classify papers based on the type of eye problem covered, the type of telemedicine employed (pre-recorded or real time) and the conclusions that were arrived at.
Method: Three bibliographic databases (Medline, EMBASE and the Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature [CINAHL]) were comprehensively searched with keywords. All papers based on teleophthalmological projects were included in the study.
Results: Out of 106 papers, only eight discussed a real-time project. General eye care, premature retinopathy (ROP) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) were the main areas of research interest. More than 90% of projects concluded with a positive view of teleophthalmology.
Discussion: Teleophthalmology is largely being used to store and forward eye care expertise on retinal diseases. Retinal problems such as DR and ROP are receiving the bulk of research attention, and eye diseases such as glaucoma and strabismus are in need of further study.
