TELEMEDICINE CONSULTATION INSTRUCTIONS
Test Your Vision
You will need two devices, with internet connection, to perform vision testing at home. You will also need a room with 10 ft of space.
1. Open eye tests and select start vision test
2. Check your vision with your most recent pair of contact lenses or glasses. If you do not wear glasses or contact lenses, then enter that you are checking your vision without correction (“none”).
3. On your second device open your browser and go to:
https://doctors.eyecarelive.com/testmyvision/#/vision
4. On the website click on the button “start your eye test.”
5. Using the EyecareLive app, scan the QR code on the computer screen and follow the instructions on your smartphone.
6. Your vision will be checked at a distance of 10 ft (the app will help you measure this distance, but please ensure that you hold your smartphone as close to your body at your hip to get an accurate distance.)
7. When you complete the vision test, take a screen shot of your results.
Here are examples of ideal pictures and video: Note everything is focused, the details can be clearly assessed. The eye is centered in the picture. The entire colored potion of the eye is visible. There are no shadows covering the eye.
Take Photos of Your Eyes
Photos are
important, everything
must be focused so details of the eye can be clearly assessed. The eye should be centered in the picture. The entire colored potion of the eye should be visible, and no shadows should cover the eye. Please follow the directions below and review the examples for comparison.
PHOTOS
Here are directions on how to get an ideal photo of your eye:
1. Stand in front of a clean, clear bathroom mirror
2. The room lights should be ON
3. Open the photo app and set to use the phone’s BACK camera
4. In photo mode, turn ON the camera flash and zoom to 2-3x ( 2.5 x is ideal)
5. Point the phone’s BACK camera at your eye (this is not selfie mode)
6. Turn your phone horizontally (vertical is ok if you have difficulty)
7. Look in the mirror at the reflection of your phone’s display
8. Make sure your hand or phone are not obstructing your view with the fellow eye
9. Line up the eye so it’s in the center of the display
10. Hold the camera lens about 3-4 inches away from your eye
11. Then take the picture (it is easiest to take the picture by pressing the volume button on the phone, rather than the button on the screen)
12. Take a picture of each eye separately
It is EXTREMELY important to have good focus
If your pictures appear blurry, ensure that the camera lens on the back of the phone is not dirty.
If you are having trouble, ask a family member or friend to help.
Take a few pictures. A straight on image is required, the rest are optional:
- Direction of gaze
- Straight (REQUIRED)
- Up (hold your lower lid down while looking up)
- Down (hold your upper lid up while looking down)
- Left
- Right
- Eye Gently closed
