Abstract

As technology evolves and patient and practitioner expectations change, it is expected that this will become a larger part of the care that optometrists provide. It is unlikely that telehealth will completely replace the need for face-to-face consultations, but it provides an additional mechanism to improve care and communication with our patients. Embracing the changes that come with technology will enable optometrists to continue providing care that is valued in the future. This guide enables practitioners to support telehealth and integrate it into routine clinical care. By engaging with patients in new ways, optometrists will be able to provide more comprehensive care and allow patients to access our services more readily.
