TeleOpthalmology Services

Overview

India is a vast Country and a lot of population resides in the rural sectors. Hence, it has always remained a challenge for Governments of our country, to extend high quality healthcare to the remotest village. This includes caring for one of the most precious gifts we are blessed with; Our Eyes.

However, with the introduction of TeleOpthalmology, most of the problems seem to have been addressed as our rural population is seeing daylight, with high quality eye care reaching their backyard too.

A Model for Eye Care Delivery in Remote and Underserved Areas of India

In the past few decades, some of the well-known and leading eye care institutions across India, have taken up TeleOpthalmology and are exploring it to a greater depth. One of the most crucial breakthroughs achieved through TeleOpthalmology was the success achieved in reaching quality eye care services to deep village inhabitants and rural sectors, which do not have a good quality eye hospital, in their neighbourhood.
