Telemedicine Virtual Eye Care

At D'Allura Eye Care, our goal is to get quality vision care to you and your family even when you cant come to see us in person.

Telemedicine lets you set up a video consultation with your eye doctor from the comfort of your own home, the office, or anywhere you might happen to be. All you need is a device with a camera internet – a phone, laptop, or tablet will all do.

To schedule your appointment, call our office or book your appointment online. We will contact you with a date, time, and instructions for the virtual visit. We may also ask you some triage questions to determine if a virtual appointment is right for you.

It usually depends on what your eye care needs are. Telemedicine is best suited for following up on visits, keeping an eye on an existing eye problem, or just getting some guidance on whether your symptoms need a doctor’s attention – like :

• those painful red or itchy eyes
• when you’ve got an allergy that’s messing up your peepers
• pink eye
• that annoying twitching in the corner of your eye
• anything that’s messing with your vision

Virtual visits arent meant for emergencies, however. If youve got a real emergency on your hands, call us right up and we will guide you through it otherwise, just dial 911.

There are some situations where its definitely better to get help right away – things like:

• when you think youve got some kind of eye infection
• if there’s glass metal or something floating around in your eye
• if youve gouged or poked your eye in some way
• if youve splashed something in your eye that really hurts
• if your vision goes dark all of a sudden
• if youve got some scratches from a foreign object
• if you start seeing floaters or flashes of light out of nowhere

This varies from company to company but your insurance will get billed, and you may have to cough up a copay. You might get asked to supply your insurance details or pay up before you get the link for your visit.

Yes, we use secure, HIPAA-compliant messaging and video conferencing for our online meetings. Protecting your private info is super important to us.
