Hyderabad: LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) and Standard Chartered Bank have partnered to launch “LVPEI@Home”, at-home eye care service, aimed at delivering comprehensive eye care directly to patients’ doorsteps.
This initiative is part of the Bank’s commitment under the “Seeing is Believing” programme to enhance access to quality eye healthcare, especially for the elderly and those with mobility challenges.
LVPEI@Home services can be scheduled via a phone call to the institute. A trained vision technician or optometrist then visits the patient’s home and performs a comprehensive eye examination, involving torch light examination and refraction check, Anterior Segment Examination and Intraocular Pressure Check, Fundus Evaluation to see the Inner Eye
Ultrasound B-Scan, Om and Pupil-X and an Asynchronous tele-consultation with a doctor at LVPEI.
A detailed e-medical report with observations, diagnosis, management plan, prescription (if any), details of next visit are sent to patient’s registered phone number.
It is also integrated to eyeSmart (the electronic medical record), to ensure continuity of eye care. If the eye condition necessitates a further investigation or surgery, the same is fast-tracked at the nearest LVPEI centre, a press release said.
The other features include AI-enabled screening for diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, prescribed glasses delivered at home, and Cataract surgeries at no cost for eligible patients.
