Our Telehealth Platform is Live!

April 23, 2020

Not quite sure what telehealth is? Heard the term a bunch lately? Our Calgary virtual eye doctor is here to clear things up and explain how you can benefit from the service during COVID-19.


Do you miss visiting your eye clinic Calgary? COVID-19 has certainly resulted in a lot of changes when it comes to our daily lives, especially when it comes to the delivery of eye care services. At My Optometrist Calgary we understand that eye care can’t be put on hold due to the novel coronavirus, which is why we’re extremely excited to announce the launch of our very own telehealth platform.

So what is telehealth?

Telehealth is the delivery of health care services through a virtual platform. Just like you may have a bunch of virtual work meetings during COVID-19, now you can have an appointment with your very own Calgary virtual eye doctor. One of the best things about the My Optometrist Calgary Telehealth service is that it’s platform independent, which means you can choose whichever video conferencing application you feel most comfortable with. This will hopefully allow our patients to feel more confident as they initially navigate this new convenient and safe eye care delivery method, and make the entire process much more smooth for them.

So how does My Optometrist Calgary’s telehealth work?

Another great feature of our Calgary virtual eye doctor service is its simplicity, both in terms of booking an appointment and then conducting it. The process is as follows:
 

  • Enter your information
  • Schedule a time that’s convenient for you
  • Receive your appointment
  • Follow up if necessary

 
Yes, it’s that easy! After you enter in your information and select a convenient appointment time, our Calgary virtual eye doctor will link up with you via the video conferencing platform of your choosing. You’ll then receive your appointment, and the best course of treatment for your concern or issue will be determined. You can also receive any prescriptions or requisitions that you require at this stage. If a follow-up appointment is deemed necessary, you may either book it yourself or one of our helpful staff members may do so for you.
