The adoption of telemedicine has shown an increase in eye care, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jobson Research’s recent report, titled Telemedicine Research, focuses on the integration of telemedicine into contact lens care, summarizing recent survey data to provide insights into the current state of telemedicine usage as well as practitioners’ perspectives on the feasibility of adopting telemedicine as a vision care tool.

This data is derived from a survey of eye care professionals distributed by Jobson Medical Information in 2023. The survey was created by John D. Gelles, OD, FAAO, FIAOMC, FCLSA, FSLS, FBCLA and Jennifer Waller, director of research and business analytics for Jobson Research. The survey was disseminated to Jobson’s eye care profession email list. Only optometrists and ophthalmologists were qualified to take the survey.

In this research, doctors were asked a variety of questions about telemedicine and responses including doctors’ assessment as to their ability to diagnose various conditions based on actual patient videos.

Some of the telemedicine topics covered included:
· Adoption, applications and frequency
· Usage for contact lens patients
· Concerns using telemedicine for contact lens patients
· Prescribing contact lenses via telemedicine
· Assessing contact lenses using telemedicine
· Grading eye health with contact lens grading scales
· Instructions for patients
· Types of platforms used
· Benefits and challenges of using telemedicine

The survey was conducted in April 2023, and there were 313 qualified responses.

Details about the report, pricing and more are posted here.
