VA Telehealth Eye Care: Remote Eye Exams Without Dilation
VA has rolled out remote tele-ophthalmology at many medical centers.
Details
VA has rolled out remote tele-ophthalmology at many medical centers. A trained technician scans your eyes with a retinal camera; the images are read by a remote VA eye specialist. No dilation drops, no waiting weeks for a specialist appointment.
Restrictions
Particularly useful at rural-access VAs and CBOCs (Community-Based Outpatient Clinics) where on-site ophthalmologists are scarce. Pair with VA's annual eye exam coverage for any enrolled veteran. Ask Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) if telehealth eye care is available at your facility.
