Key themes included trust, child demographics, need for professional support, digital factors, and appointment frequency.
Parents desired training for confidence and skill in remote testing.
Benefits: reduced travel, time off work/school, flexibility. Challenges: accuracy, occlusion, app use, requiring guidance and virtual supervision.

Conclusions:

Remote vision testing can be a viable alternative to clinic visits with adequate parent training and support.
Concerns about reliability, especially for younger children, were noted.
