The title of the article I’m referring to is Study: Diagnosing on Slit Lamp Robot Just as Effective As In-Person written by Bill Kekevian, editor of Ophthalmology Advisor.
There’s no question, the eye care industry is evolving rapidly now that companies realize the necessity of social distancing and proper precautions to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) during the pandemic.
Fortunately, upon further investigation of the article, I realized the “Slit Lamp Robot” discussed is actually an effective way for the eye care specialist to examine a patient remotely and…
NOT that a robot is diagnosing the patient (hey, it could happen…!).
But, here’s the bigger issue…
It reminded me how important it is that we, as eye care providers, stay on top of the latest developments in the industry in terms of diagnostic and therapeutic equipment and solutions.
📌 It’s also a reminder of the importance that we provide (sub)specialties to help us stand out from the competition and NOT be replaced with automation and robots!
