Lai, Kevin E.Ko, Melissa W.2023-10-192023-10-192023Lai KE, Ko MW. Can Tele-Neuro-Ophthalmology Be Useful Beyond the Pandemic?. Curr Neurol Neurosci Rep. 2023;23(2):15-23. doi:10.1007/s11910-022-01248-whttps://hdl.handle.net/1805/36498Purpose of the review: Neuro-ophthalmologists rapidly adopted telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic to minimize disruption to patient care. This article reviews recent research on tele-neuro-ophthalmology adoption, current limitations, and potential use beyond the pandemic. The review considers how digital transformation, including machine learning and augmented reality, may be applied to future iterations of tele-neuro-ophthalmology. Recent findings: Telehealth utilization has been sustained among neuro-ophthalmologists throughout the pandemic. Adoption of tele-neuro-ophthalmology may provide solutions to subspecialty workforce shortage, patient access, physician wellness, and trainee educational needs within the field of neuro-ophthalmology. Digital transformation technologies have the potential to augment tele-neuro-ophthalmology care delivery by providing automated workflow solutions, home-based visual testing and therapies, and trainee education via simulators. Tele-neuro-ophthalmology use has and will continue beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital transformation technologies, when applied to telehealth, will drive and revolutionize the next phase of tele-neuro-ophthalmology adoption and use in the years to come.en-USPublisher PolicyTelehealthTelemedicineNeuro-ophthalmologyPandemicArtificial intelligenceAugmented realityArticle
