Among the pioneer group of Optometrists who are implementing a modern approach to patient care. Telehealth visits include remote (complete) refractions, objective pupil evaluations using EyeKinetix®Objective Pupillometer, video recordings of the anterior segment, contact lens fits and retinal imaging. MyEyeDr. rolled this out during COVID-19 and has found this type of exam to be effective in certain populations.
