Resumen
ANDONEGUI, J.; SERRANO, L. y EGUZKIZA, A.. eOphthalmology: current state and future tendencies. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2010, vol.33, n.1, pp.79-91. ISSN 1137-6627.
eOphthalmology can be defined as the use of information and telecommunications technologies to provide or support a group of activities related to ophthalmic care. The same concept applied to ophthalmic care would be eOphthalmology. This paper describes the current state of eOphthalmology-based models in diabetic retinopathy screening and in the diagnosis and follow-up of chronic glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Furthermore, the main advantages of these models and the technological requirements needed for their implementation are described. Finally, a prediction of the impact of eOphthalmology on the future of health care is offered.
