How Teleoptometry Works
Teleoptometry is the practice of offering eye health advice and consultations over video calls, allowing you to maintain physical isolation. Your remote appointment can’t replace your regular eye exam. However, we can offer the following services remotely:
- Evaluate eye infections and conditions
- Determine whether in-office care is required
- Issue prescriptions and refills
- Discuss other vision concerns
Before Your Appointment
You will need an internet connection and an internet-connectable device with:
- A webcam
- A microphone
- Speakers or a headphone jack
Once you have scheduled your Teleoptometry appointment, we will send you a confirmation email containing a link to your appointment. On the day of your appointment, please click that link a minute or two before your appointment is scheduled to begin.
The doctor will join the call once they are ready for you.
During Your Appointment
Your optometrist may want to ask you about your current medications or medical history, so please have this information ready.
The online consultation may include video chat, instant messaging, voice messaging, and photo sharing. Do not worry; this data is 100% secure.
After you’ve discussed your concerns with the doctor, they will be able to provide you with the next steps you should follow.
