While ophthalmic care may be an often-cited weakness for primary care physicians, there are many electronic tools that can help practitioners assess different visual impairments and choose the right treatment options for patients. That is why this month, our app reviewer scoured the web for easy-to-use eye care apps that physicians can use to promote eye health. Above, we offer highlights of:
- A mobile app for easy assessment of visual acuity
- A pocket guide to a host of different eye conditions
- An app to self-monitor vision loss
- An app that documents the 9 cardinal positions of gaze
- An app that determines various degrees of head tilt
