With the increasing survival of preterm babies in the Asia-Pacific region, there has been an increase in the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). There is also a lack of trained ophthalmologists to screen for this disease. New strategies for screening of ROP are required, wherein the load on the ophthalmologist can be reduced. Telemedicine is an excellent tool to address this need. This paper reviews the initial studies comparing digital imaging with indirect ophthalmoscopy, the current active ROP telescreening programs in the world, and ends with studies dealing with automated diagnosis of ROP.
随着亚太地区早产儿存活率的提高，早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）的发病率有所上升。此外，缺乏经过培训的眼科医生来筛查这种疾病。因此需要新的ROP筛查策略，以减轻眼科医生的负担。远程医疗是满足这一需求的绝佳工具。本文回顾了将数字成像与间接检眼镜检查进行比较的初步研究、当前全球活跃的ROP远程筛查项目，并以有关ROP自动诊断的研究作为结尾。
