Telemedicine-based diagnosis and management of ocular chemical injury in a remote setting: A case report
Ocular chemical injuries require immediate diagnosis and treatment, posing challenges in remote regions. We report a case of mild chemical injury caused by an alkali chemical injury, successfully diagnosed and managed using telemedicine. A primary care physician utilized a smartphone-based anterior segment imaging system (Smart Eye Camera), allowing an ophthalmologist to remotely evaluate and classify the injury as Roper-Hall grade. Conservative treatment with irrigation and topical medications led to symptom resolution within 1 week. This case highlights the effectiveness of teleophthalmology, suggesting its significant potential for improving ocular care accessibility and timely intervention in medically underserved rural areas.
