Article Synopsis
- The study explores a web-based tool for self-assessing visual acuity and refractive error in myopic children, with a focus on its effectiveness compared to traditional clinic measurements.
- The results demonstrated that children could accurately perform self-assessments at home, showing good agreement with clinical tests, although the web tool tended to underestimate visual acuity for poorer vision cases.
- The web-based refractive error assessments indicated greater myopia progression than those recorded in the clinic, suggesting this tool could be useful for ongoing monitoring in children.
Purpose: To compare web-based, self-administered follow-up after cataract surgery to conventional face-to-face follow-up.
Setting: Eye clinics in the Netherlands, Austria, and Germany.
Design: Randomized controlled trial with an embedded method comparison study (ClinicalTrials.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic taught us how to rethink care delivery. It catalyzed creative solutions to amplify the potential of personnel and facilities. This paper presents and evaluates a promptly introduced triaging solution that evolved into a tool to tackle the ever-growing waiting lists at an academic ophthalmology department, the TeleTriageTeam (TTT).

Setting: Clinics in the Netherlands, Germany, and Austria.
Design: Mixed-methods study.
Purpose: To validate the Easee web-based tool for the assessment of visual acuity in patients who underwent cataract surgery.
Setting: University Eye Clinic Maastricht, Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Design: Prospective method comparison study.
Background: Cataract surgery has become one of the most performed surgical procedures worldwide. Postoperative management consists of routine clinical examinations to assess post-operative visual function and detect possible adverse events. Due to the low incidence of complications, the majority of clinic visits after cataract surgery are uneventful.

Web-based eye tests can enable individuals to self-assess their visual function remotely without the assistance of an eye care professional. A web-based tool for self-assessing visual acuity (VA) has previously been studied in controlled, supervised conditions.

Material And Methods: Keratoconus patients, aged 18 to 40, with a refractive error between -6 and +4 diopters were considered eligible. An uncorrected visual acuity and an assessment of refractive error was taken web-based (index test) and by manifest refraction (reference test) by an optometrist.
Introduction: Numerous digital tools to self-assess visual acuity have been introduced. The recent COVID-19 pandemic underlined the need for high-quality remote care. This review gives a current overview of digital tools for remotely assessing visual function and reports on their accuracy.

Nonetheless, there is increasing presumptive evidence for the role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of KC.
