Review

From the reviews:

"This book offers a valuable beginners’ guide to teleophthalmology. ... Each chapter begins with a useful summary that is then expanded upon in the main text. ... Illustrations, graphs, and tables also add to the text, as do a number of appendices. It is easy to read as it seems to be aimed at a reader who is new to teleophthalmic principles and care. ... I think it is a useful resource into the developing world of teleophthalmology." (Olga Brochner, Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2007)

"This book provides an excellent and detailed introduction to ocular telemedicine and telehealth. ... Teleophthalmoogy ... provides a brief overview and strong introduction. The book will be of interest for those who are curious about what teleophthalmology involves and for those who want a brief presentation of the state of the art." (Jerry D. Cavallerano and Lloyd Paul Aiello, Graefe’s Archive for Clinical and Experimantal Ophthalmology, Vol. 247, 2009)
