What Is Tele-Optometry?

Tele-optometry allows our patients to undergo a complete eye examination using digital equipment and high-definition video conferencing.

You’ll interact with an experienced optometrist in real-time while being supported by an in-office technician. This seamless blend of remote and in-person care helps you receive the same thorough examination you’d expect in a traditional setting.

How Does a Tele-Optometry Exam Work?

Tele-optometry offers flexible scheduling options and reduced wait times to accommodate your busy lifestyle. This digital experience is also ideal for remote locations or clinics with limited access to specialized care.

Tele-optometry exams can be completed virtually in less than 30 minutes at no additional cost to a regular in-person exam. Here’s how they work:

Check-In & Pre-Test

When you arrive for your tele-optometry eye exam, you’ll first complete your medical and health information, which is securely stored for the optometrist’s review.

Next, a technician will guide you through preliminary testing in the clinical area. This includes capturing detailed diagnostic data to prepare for the comprehensive exam.

Live Consultation with the Optometrist

A video slit lamp is used to capture high-definition videos of the anterior chamber (external structures of the eye), which the remote optometrist evaluates in real-time.

Through high-definition video conferencing, an exam is performed to check for any issues and any need for corrective lenses. The remote optometrist can adjust the digital phoropter for precision.

Your optometrist will then review your test results, refine your prescription, assess your eye health, and answer your questions.

Prescription Ready

At the end of the exam, our team finalizes your prescription for glasses or contacts and has it ready within minutes. You’re ready to pick your perfect pair of eyewear right away.

With tele-optometry, walk-in patients can receive a comprehensive exam and prescription in under 30 minutes—all while staying comfortably socially distanced.

Your Safety & Comfort Are Our Priority

Our tele-optometry services are designed to maintain the trusted patient-doctor relationship. You’ll have a dedicated technician with you every step of the way to create a smooth, comfortable experience.

Tele-optometry is suitable for most routine eye exams and patients seeking prescription updates or basic eye health assessments. For more complex medical needs, we’ll connect you with the appropriate in-person care.
