Abstract
Many optometrists supplement office-based vision therapy with home-based vision therapy procedures. Others prescribe primarily home-based vision therapy activities with in-office instruction. With recent development of telehealth online platforms, it is possible to enhance home-based vision therapy with one-on-one doctor-guided and vision therapist-guided remote optometric vision therapy (ROVT). This may increase access for times when the patient is not able to present to the office. Procedures for implementing ROVT are discussed including patient selection, case management, and technical requirements. 35 patients received ROVT, with the vast majority responding positively. Three cases of ROVT are presented. While there are significant limitations to ROVT, this experience shows that it is possible to conduct ROVT when there is need. We found that case selection and parental support at home are important factors for success.
