Resumen

POLA ALVARADO, Lester. Foundations for a national platform of digital consultation related to eye movement disorders. RCIM [online]. 2013, vol.5, n.2, pp. 200-209. ISSN 1684-1859.

This paper presents a descriptive study in 187 patients with eye movement disorders, received in Third-level Neurophthalmology Units, from far outside Havana, between January/2010 and December/2011, in order to characterize office consultation related to eye movement disorders in Third-level Neurophthalmology Units. Various subjects connected to epidemiological elements, genesis and purpose of the office evaluation were studied. The possibility and advantages of digital consultation were evaluated in each case. Interconsultation from outside the west region, where are both Third-level Neurophthalmology Units, were 63,1 %. Total traveled-length owing to office evaluation was 70 286, 9 Km. 131 (70,1 %) patients were classified as candidate for digital cases, reducing 54 823,2 Km the global traveled-length. For the remaining 56 cases, telemedicine consultation previous to the office one could be helpful according to the expert consensus, mainly to begin treatment or to do complementary tests. Telemedicine for eye movement disorders is in fact necessary. It is also possible oriented to all people and structural tools that have the specialty around the country.

Palabras clave : eye movements; telemedicine; digital consultation; neurophthalmology.
