Abstract

Teleglaucoma is a rapidly evolving subset of teleophthalmology focused on enhancing access to high-quality, cost-effective, and patient-centred virtual glaucoma care for rural and underserved populations. Teleglaucoma programs have been implemented in many regions globally, both in resource-rich and resource-challenged contexts. This chapter reviews the successes, challenges, and lessons learned from three high-risk population-based teleglaucoma programs based in Canada, Ethiopia, and Kenya.
