Abstract

Telemedicine has been used for many years to deliver, treatment, education programs and training, especially to healthcare professionals of remote areas and countries with limited resources. But Telemedicine came into limelight during the SARS COVID-19 pandemic, when the lockdown compelled the use of technology than ever. The Tele education is also a part of Telemedicine which helped millions to carry on the learning during the last two years. The main modes used for telemedicine are Photographs, audio, video or combined which can be done using handheld cameras, mobile phones or computers. Tele education provides tools and methods to make teaching better. To make the Tele education better, cost effective and friendly there needs frequent revisions and introduction of newer technology, especially now when we anticipate further surges of the Pandemic wave. In this study, we share our experience of using Fish eye lens, which can take wide angle images, in our daily clinical practice and in Tele Education. Fisheye lens is used for taking images which can be up to 180 degrees. The novelty of the study is that there are very limited data available on the use of wide-angle lens in clinical practice as well as Tele-education.
