To share a useful intervention to minimize risk of COVID-19 infection to both healthcare workers and patients in the eye clinic.
We present our experience of virtual, within-clinic remote visual acuity assessment to reduce the risk of infection with COVID-19.
Along with standard recommendations for personal protective equipment and hand hygiene to contain viral spread and treating only urgent cases, remote within-clinic visual acuity testing and consultations can be undertaken with minimal specialist equipment and appears to provide useful information whilst being acceptable to patients.
Ophthalmology practice must adapt in order to combat COVID-19. This measure can easily be incorporated into daily practice to reduce both patient footfall within the department and close contact between patient and healthcare practitioners.
分享一种有用的干预措施，以将眼科诊所医护人员和患者感染2019冠状病毒病的风险降至最低。
我们介绍了在诊所内进行虚拟远程视力评估以降低感染2019冠状病毒病风险的经验。
除了关于个人防护装备和手部卫生以控制病毒传播以及仅治疗急症病例的标准建议外，可使用最少的专业设备在诊所内进行远程视力测试和会诊，这似乎能提供有用信息，同时患者也能接受。
眼科实践必须做出调整以抗击2019冠状病毒病。这一措施可轻松融入日常实践，以减少科室的患者流量以及患者与医护人员之间的密切接触。
