Why we’ve added Tele-Optometry as part of our service procedure ( including email, phone call, and video meeting)?
- It can solve some problems but is not a replacement of comprehensive eye exam.
- In some cases, special devices or equipment needed, a visit at the clinic will be arranged at the end of the Tele-Optometry consultation.
- Tele-communication before hand will facilitate in-person visits to be brief and much safer with less time spent in the clinic.
Steps for Tele-Optometry consultation:
- You need to sign a consent form first. Tele-Optometry and Electronic Communication Consent
- Dr. Yilei Wang will consult you with one of the available methods of Tele-Optometry service.
