During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic access to and utilization of ophthalmologic healthcare providers was partially restricted.
This article provides an overview of already available tele-ophthalmologic applications for better care during the pandemic as well as those still under development.
The study included an analysis of current scientific publications, analysis of unrestricted screening applications in smart device app stores as well as telemetric medical products specifically designed for home monitoring and discussion of the requirements of an integrated ophthalmologic video consultation.
There is significant interest in tele-ophthalmologic applications and devices as evidenced by a rise in the number of relevant publications. Freely available screening tests for smart phones and tablets are as a rule currently not validated and show significant discrepancies from established standard tests. Telemetric medical devices show great potential for home monitoring in chronic ophthalmologic diseases but must first become established in the clinical routine.
There is an unmet need for systematic analysis, development and validation of telemedical applications and medical products for ophthalmology in order to advantageously utilize the potential of telemedicine and to incorporate this into an ophthalmologic video consultation.
在2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间，眼科医疗服务提供者的可及性和利用率受到了部分限制。
本文概述了在大流行期间已有的用于提供更好医疗服务的远程眼科应用以及仍在开发中的应用。
该研究包括对当前科学出版物的分析、对智能设备应用商店中不受限制的筛查应用以及专门为家庭监测设计的遥测医疗产品的分析，以及对综合眼科视频会诊要求的讨论。
相关出版物数量的增加证明了对远程眼科应用和设备有浓厚兴趣。目前，智能手机和平板电脑上免费提供的筛查测试通常未经验证，与既定的标准测试存在显著差异。遥测医疗设备在慢性眼科疾病的家庭监测方面显示出巨大潜力，但首先必须在临床常规中得到确立。
对于眼科远程医疗应用和医疗产品，存在系统分析、开发和验证方面未满足的需求，以便有利地利用远程医疗的潜力并将其纳入眼科视频会诊。
