审查目的：最近的发现：远程医疗的应用领域的眼科和视网膜一直在增长与先进的眼科成像技术的文献的更新和概述。视网膜远程医疗最常应用于糖尿病视网膜病变和早产儿视网膜病变的成人和儿童患者。远程医疗有可能缓解对视网膜疾病临床评估日益增长的需求。随后，自动图像分析和深度学习系统可以促进远程医疗系统中生成的大量、越来越多的图像的有效处理。远程医疗还可以通过远程教育系统改善获得教育和标准化培训的机会。视网膜远程医疗计划应仔细和适当地整合到目前的临床系统。
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: An update and overview of the literature on current telemedicine applications in retina.RECENT FINDINGS: The application of telemedicine to the field of Ophthalmology and Retina has been growing with advancing technologies in ophthalmic imaging. Retinal telemedicine has been most commonly applied to diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity in adult and pediatric patients respectively. Telemedicine has the potential to alleviate the growing demand for clinical evaluation of retinal diseases. Subsequently, automated image analysis and deep learning systems may facilitate efficient processing of large, increasing numbers of images generated in telemedicine systems. Telemedicine may additionally improve access to education and standardized training through tele-education systems.SUMMARY: Telemedicine has the potential to be utilized as a useful adjunct but not a complete replacement for physical clinical examinations. Retinal telemedicine programs should be carefully and appropriately integrated into current clinical systems.
