Computers are already in widespread use in medical practice throughout the world and their utility and popularity is increasing day by day. While future generations of medical professionals will be computer literate with a corresponding increase in use of computers in medical practice, the current generation finds itself in a dilemma of how best to adapt to the fast-evolving world of information technology. In addition to practice management, information technology has already had a substantial impact on diagnostic medicine, especially in imaging techniques and maintenance of medical records. This information technology is now poised to make a big impact on the way we deliver medical care in India. Ophthalmology is no exception to this, but at present very few practices are either fully or partially computerized. This article provides a practical account of the uses and advantages of computers in ophthalmic practice, as well as a step-by-step approach to the optimal utilization of available computer technology.
计算机在世界各地的医学实践中已得到广泛应用，其效用和普及程度与日俱增。虽然未来的医学专业人员将具备计算机知识，并且计算机在医学实践中的使用也会相应增加，但当前这代人却面临着如何最好地适应快速发展的信息技术世界这一困境。除了实践管理，信息技术已经对诊断医学产生了重大影响，尤其是在成像技术和医疗记录维护方面。现在，这项信息技术准备对我们在印度提供医疗服务的方式产生重大影响。眼科也不例外，但目前很少有诊所实现了完全或部分计算机化。本文切实介绍了计算机在眼科实践中的用途和优势，以及优化利用现有计算机技术的逐步方法。
