Ophthalmic imaging in children: current practice patterns and perceived barriers

Abstract

Pediatric ophthalmologists were surveyed to determine current practice patterns regarding ophthalmic imaging for children and to identify perceived barriers to the adoption of imaging technologies in their practices. Some form of imaging was available in the majority of practices (94%), but its use varied widely among different clinical scenarios. The two most frequently perceived barriers to performing imaging in children were cooperation and lack of sufficient data supporting ophthalmic imaging in clinical practice.
