Technology is constantly evolving, and so is medical care. With the pandemic came many changes in the way we access and deliver health care. Virtual medical visits, or telehealth visits as they are also known, are a way for you and your doctor to come together in a more convenient form to discuss health-related concerns. While a virtual visit does not replace seeking in-person care, it does have a valuable place.
In eye care, much of what we do as eye doctors involves taking a deep look into the eyes to diagnose and treat eye-related conditions. This cannot be substituted by a virtual visit. However, virtual visits can provide an opportunity to discuss and review valuable information on a more convenient platform for many.
Ways a virtual visit may be beneficial
- Diagnosing eyelid and superficial eye-related conditions
- Reviewing and gathering relevant eye and general medical history
- Reviewing eye-related questions
- Reviewing eye-related medications and potential side effect concerns
- Asking about lifestyle choices and their impact on eye health
Over the course of your virtual visit, it may become clear to you or your eye doctor that an in-person appointment is needed to better suit your needs or concerns. If this is the case, recognize that your eye doctor is working in your best interest and has identified an aspect of your concern that needs to be more thoroughly examined.
This is an opportunity for you to come see us so that we can provide you with a more personalized experience and tailor your treatment plan for you.
