Abstract

Human ocular system is susceptible to disease, especially if it is not taken care of. Due to the growing technologic incorporation in the health sector, it is of paramount importance to invest in teleophthalmology, in order to expand the coverage of services provided to the population. Considering the installation of Covid-19 pandemic, was made a literary review using the PubMed database and a prospective research on patent basis Espacenet to identifies potential technologies and can be adopted or expanded on post-pandemic period. Based on the data collected, analyzes were carried out regarding the countries of origin, holders of the applications and volume of publications, being identified a domain in the performance of universities for the creation and the technological foment. It is suggested that, in the future, studies on the subject be carried out and the introduction of investment is encouraged, both in literature and scientific research, in professional practices in favor of ocular health.
