No. We carefully scrutinize the kind of visits that can safely be performed via telehealth without compromising on quality of care. If your ophthalmologist decides your child’s visit can safely be conducted via telehealth, rest assured your child will still receive the high level of care you’re used to receiving in person. After the telehealth appointment if we feel the need for an in-person appointment, we will work with our families to schedule that appointment promptly and safely. Sometimes, an exam conducted via telehealth reveals something requiring an in-person appointment. In those cases, we work with our families to schedule appointments promptly and safely.
