Real-world evaluation of online visual acuity self-testing and remote consultation: three years of implementation experience in a paediatric ophthalmology service
To evaluate the effectiveness of the DigiVis DVA web app for self-testing of best corrected distance visual acuity (BCVA) and remote consultations (RC) in a pediatric ophthalmology setting.
Key Findings:
DigiVis DVA demonstrated accuracy comparable to standard BCVA testing methods.
The app was integrated into clinical pathways and utilized effectively during the Covid pandemic.
Remote consultations improved access and reduced the burden of frequent clinic visits for families.
Interpretation:
Remove unsupported conclusions; focus on summarizing findings without implications.
Limitations:
The study did not require regional ethics committee approval as it was a service evaluation.
The accuracy of home BCVA testing may vary based on user compliance and device capabilities.
Conclusion:
Revise to avoid unsupported claims about enhancing management.
