Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Microincision Vitrectomy Surgery (MIVS) typically involves in-person postoperative visits.
  • Previous retrospective studies indicate low complication rates after MIVS.
  • A prospective evaluation of telemedicine for MIVS postoperative care is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy and safety of telemedicine for postoperative visits (POV) following MIVS.
  • To compare virtual telemedicine (VT) versus in-person telemedicine (IP) for POVs.
  • To evaluate patient outcomes and complications in a telemedicine setting.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, randomized study involving 53 patients undergoing MIVS.
  • Patients were assigned to either virtual telemedicine (VT) or in-person telemedicine (IP) for POVs.
  • Key assessments included visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and fundus exams at scheduled intervals.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant difference in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) between VT and IP groups (p=0.70).
  • No significant differences were observed in intraocular pressure (IOP) or RNFL scores.
  • No post-surgical complications were reported in either group.

Conclusions:

  • Telemedicine appears to be a safe and convenient alternative for postoperative management of uncomplicated MIVS.
  • Further research with larger sample sizes is warranted to confirm these findings.
  • Telemedicine can potentially streamline postoperative care pathways in ophthalmology.
