This review addresses the growing role of teleophthalmology in expanding access to eye care, particularly for rural and remote communities where traditional services are limited. Advances in imaging technology and real-time telemedicine have improved the reach and quality of ophthalmic care, offering diagnostic accuracy comparable to in-person consultations and demonstrating cost-effectiveness.
Studies from India and Australia highlight how mobile teleophthalmology and integrated service delivery models can effectively reduce avoidable blindness and enhance care coordination.
Teleophthalmology proves especially valuable for screening and management of conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and retinopathy of prematurity, with high diagnostic reliability and patient satisfaction.
However, challenges remain, including technological barriers, imaging quality, and the need for sustainable financial planning. Overall, teleophthalmology offers a promising solution to overcome barriers in eye care delivery, though continued innovation and investment are essential for broader implementation.
