Teleophthalmology is a developing field that presents diverse opportunities. One of its most successful applications to date has been in pediatric retinal disease, particularly in screening for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Many studies have shown that using telemedicine for ROP screening allows a remote ophthalmologist to identify abnormal findings and implement early interventions. Here, we review the literature on uses of telemedicine in pediatric retinal disease and consider future applications.
远程眼科是一个不断发展的领域，提供了各种各样的机会。到目前为止，它最成功的应用之一是在儿科视网膜疾病方面，尤其是在早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）的筛查中。许多研究表明，使用远程医疗进行ROP筛查可使远程眼科医生识别异常发现并实施早期干预。在此，我们回顾了关于远程医疗在儿科视网膜疾病中应用的文献，并探讨了未来的应用。
