Add to basketThis book describes digital ophthalmology and telemedicine applications for both front of the eye and retina. It includes technical issues, digital imaging, what clinical parameters to use, which technologies are suitable, and collective experiences of practitioners in different parts of the world practicing a wide range of digital eye care delivery. The main purpose of this book is to provide adequate information to clinicians and other health professionals who are involved in eye care delivery to assess how digital health in ophthalmology might be applied to their working practice, how digital screenings are performed, and to learn about virtual image reading. Many of the chapters are also helpful to health service managers, imaging specialists, and information technology staff.
Digital Eye Care and Teleophthalmology: A Practical Guide to Applications examines digital eye care to provide state of art ophthalmic services. It is an essential resource for professionals involved in eye care seeking to develop or improve their digital applications in daily practice.
Professor Yogesan is a Chair of Digital Health and Telemedicine at the School of Medicine, University of Notre Dame, Australia. He is also Visiting Scholar at the Harvard University.

He has published over 85 peer-reviewed research papers and books in the field (including the first textbook in Tele-ophthalmology). He has a patent portfolio of over 35 patents including ophthalmic diagnostic devices, machine learning algorithms for early detection of eye diseases and systemic diseases, and telemedicine systems. He has strong record in translation of research findings into clinical practice.
Dr. Goldschmidt wasan early innovator in telemedicine and medical informatics, exploring use of the technologies in patient education, Cardiology, Pathology, and in patients with spinal cord injury. He is an ophthalmologist at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care System in Palo Alto, California and was formerly director of medical informatics at that facility. In addition, he is also Clinical Associate Professor in Ophthalmology at the Stanford University School of Medicine and participates in teaching the next generation of doctors. Dr. Goldschmidt was co-director for many years of one of the earliest large- scale diabetic teleretinal screening programs at the Department of Veterans affairs, an organization serving approximately nine million patients. VA’s electronic patient record system is among the largest in the world, and Dr. Goldschmidt was instrumental in leading efforts to enhance the capabilities of its imaging archive, which works seamlessly with the individual medical record. Currently, he serves as a subject matter expert for the organization, helping to continually improve VA's telemedicine capabilities. He participates widely as an invited speaker, sharing the lessons from a health care system that serves patients from Hawaii to the east coast of the United States.
Professor Cuadros is Director of Informatics Research in the Department of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of California, Berkeley and he is a pioneer in introducing telemedicine based eye screening programs in the USA and internationally. He is CEO of EyePACS (Santa Cruz, CA, USA), a telemedicine service, providing screening to more than one million patients. He has conducted clinical trials on several innovative technologies, such as automated retinal image reading, laser imaging devices, and primary care programs. His work is focused on expanding access to eye care in underserved communities.
Giselle Ricur is a Latin-American pioneer in teleophthalmology. Founder of the American Telemedicine Association’s Latin American and Caribbean chapter in 2004 (ATALACC). She has spearheaded telemedicine program developments, training, and advocating for eHealth policy adoption since the early 2000s’. Currently, she is the Executive Director of Virtual Care at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami.
