Expanding the role of medical retina virtual clinics using multimodal ultra-widefield and optical coherence tomography imaging

摘要

BackgroundAn increasingly elderly population with a corresponding increase in ophthalmic conditions has led to increased pressure on hospital eye services (HES). In this study, we evaluated the use of a medical retina virtual clinic (MRVC), which has expanded into assessing all new medical retina referrals, where the need for urgent treatment was not clear.
