The interconnection of the on-demand eye doctor and the remote medical facility (RMF) will be delegated to the mobile application, a decentralized application (DAPP), or website similar to Uber or Lyft where the eye doctor can provide telemedicine ocular health examinations service to multiple locations in the world depending on the selection on their mobile application, DAPP or website. (FIG. 2; 2). The medical equipment (digital slit-lamp, digital iris-cope, digital retinal camera) is controlled directly by the portable computer (MCB) in the exam room via a wired or non wired connection. (FIG. 5; 16,19,17,22,26,14,15). The portable computer (MCB) will run software that controls software that controls the medical equipment. (FIG. 12; 39).

The portable computer (MCB) will also have a remote administration tool technology software or application installed into its main operating system. (FIG. 18; 12,15). The portable computer (MCB) may also have the ability to use a browser as a (Remote connection to the eye doctor). The possibility of using a browser with a (remote connection) can be facilitated with a secondary commercial or non-commercial company if needed. The portable computer (MCB) can be of any operating system Android, windows, or Linux depending on the computer used with its interface software. (FIG. 18; 15,69). The eye doctor can have any portable electronic device (smartphone, tablet, laptop) with any operating system Android, Windows, or Linux with a mobile application. (FIG. 2; 1).

The mobile application will be used to connect to a remote medical facility (RMF) with the portable computer (MCB) that runs (RAT) software technology. (FIG. 21). The portable computer (MCB) has to have the remote administration tool technology application, adapter apparatus, emulator software, ocular control software running at the same time to be controlled by a remote eye doctor from anywhere in the world. (FIG. 18; 11,52,51,39,12,54,53,15,69). The eye doctor needs to have the mobile application running on his portable electronic device. This application may have remote administration tool technology capabilities that can be used to interconnect to the remote medical facility (RMF). (FIG. 2; 1,2). The eye doctor will receive a text message with the user name and password to interconnect to the remote medical facility portable computer (MCB). (FIG. 3; 1,67,55).

The main purpose of the portable computer (MCB) is direct control of the electronic medical records software, ocular camera software, or any other medical equipment via wired connection, but via a remote administration tool software, it can be controlled by an eye doctor providing service. (FIG. 5) (FIG. 18). The (MCB) with adapter can also be connected to any eye examination equipment from any maker in any optometric or ophthalmology office. The portable computer (MCB) will always be connected to the internet via ethernet, wifi, or any cellphone wireless network. In the event that the remote medical facility (RMF) does not have its own internet service, the ocular examination equipment Kit (OEK) also comes with a wireless cellphone network internet router to provide an internet connection to the system. (FIG. 4; 20,21,15,69). The person connecting to provide service can be an (optometrist, ophthalmologist, or any other health care provider) with a portable electronic device (VR headset, AR headset, smartphone, smartwatch, laptop, and/or tablet) running the mobile application. (FIG. 2; 1). The eye doctor or health care practitioner's portable electronic device (PED) can be a smartphone, smartwatch, tablet and/or laptop.

The main control base computer can be remote-controlled over Internet protocol networks using an applet running on the communication device, and the eye doctor (PED) can control the exam room (MCB) portable computer by using a (RAT) applet running on their portable electronic device (smartphone, tablet, laptop, VR headset, smartwatch and/or AR headset). The remote administration tool technology can interconnect between any type of computer independent of the operating system. (FIG. 19). When the assistant or mobile application sends a text message or message via the app to request an on-demand (eye doctor), he or she can accept or decline the request for (RAT) interconnection. In some cases, the mobile application can also work by having the eye doctor look for a location on the mobile application to provide service similar to Airbnb, Uber, or Lyft. If and when the eye doctor accepts the request, they have to insert a user name and password via the remote administration tool software.

The (RAT) remotes administration program installed within its system may randomly generate a user name and password authentication for the (eye doctor or controller) to be able to log in and connect to the portable computer. The remote medical facility can also delegate a username and password for the remote eye doctor to connect to the system if needed. This random user name and password facilitate a secure connection to any eye doctor scheduled or that accepts to become a supported controller to provide service with their portable electronic device. By way of indirect to direct connection, the eye doctor can control the exam room portable computer (MCB), which will directly control the ocular health cameras software that may be running software that controls the EMR, retinal camera, iris copes, or digital slit-lamp. In the case of a robotic digital slit lamp, the parts can be controlled remotely also. (FIG. 23).

The eye doctor can control indirectly remotely operate the digital ocular cameras and digital slit-lamp remotely to refine images and videos for a proper remote ocular examination from a patient at the office. Adapters on the digital slit-lamp can be added to facilitate the remote control of the slit control, click stop, filters, magnification changer, and joystick elevation knob. Some portable or non-portable slit lamps may already come with built-in robotic or electronic control of all: slit control, illumination arm, click stop, filters, magnification changer, and joystick elevation knob. In any case, the control system can be connected via an adapter apparatus, emulating software, or run via OS—compatible control software via the MCB to have complete control remotely by a remote eye doctor providing service. The eye doctor that is connected to the system will be able to control the iris copes and slit-lamps to gather video or pictures of the patient's ocular health of the anterior segment of the eye. In some cases, the eye doctor may switch from the indirect to direct to (direct to direct) connection method to get a better connection.

In some cases of unstable connection, the eye doctor can instruct the assistant to control and take the images or videos of the anterior segment of the eye via the iriscope and slit lamps systems. The patient eyes can be tested for a number of conditions using the different lights and magnification on the ocular cameras. The remote (eye doctor or controller) can review the ocular retinal pictures and zoom in and out to analyze via a cloud storage system or via the memory built-in into the camera's computers. If and when the connection is optimal, the eye doctor can review the images realtime via the system. In realtime viewing and control of the iriscope and slit lamps, the remote doctor can control the lights and filters of the slit-lamp and or the iriscope contraption. The filters used in both eye iris copes contraption, and slit lamps are cobalt blue filters, green, red-free filters, and neutral density filters.

Any of these filters will be used for diagnosis purposes. The iris copes, and slit lamp will be used to evaluate the health of the anterior segment of the eye as far posterior as the anterior portion of the aqueous humor. The eye doctor or the assistant can vary the angle of illumination arm, magnification, and type of slit beams via manual or remote means using the software running inside the MCB. The option of the type of slit lamps beams may be from diffused, wide parallelepiped, narrow parallelepiped optic section corneal beam wide parallelepiped narrow parallelepiped to view the appropriate ocular structures. As part of the examination, the assistant at the remote office may instill fluorescein sodium on the patients eye and the remote doctor or assistant may view or control the lighting and filters on the digital slit-lamp and iris cope with determining anomalies in the cornea or conjunctival tissue.

The eye doctor may also control the digital slit lamp, and iris copes realtime during the examination if needed. The controller of the iriscope or slit-lamp will take image photos or videos to review but can also be review by the doctor realtime. During the iriscope and slit-lamp examination, the anterior segment of the eye will be examined by the assistant, including: Lids, lashes, cornea, conjunctiva, and anterior chamber. In the event of no cornea problems, the remote doctor may instruct the assistant to perform ocular pressure tonometry on a patient to view intraocular pressure results. (FIG. 14). The ocular pressure tonometry may be transmitted automatically to the portable computer (MBC) interface and can be viewed by the eye doctor remotely via the remote administration tool interconnection. (FIG. 14).

In the case of an unstable connection, the assistant can take the tonometry reading and type the results to the EMR software or send the results to the eye doctor via text. (FIG. 20). At the end of the remote telemedicine remote control connection, the remote eye doctor may prescribe proper medications for the ocular conditions via the mobile application or via a prescription via email. All information may be edited by the remote eye doctor as they will have access to the electronic medical record (EMR) at the exam office portable computers system via remote control and remote sharing technology. (FIG. 15). The on-demand Optometrist or Ophthalmologist (eye doctor) anywhere in the world can perform the ocular examinations remotely and can communicate with the patient via HIPAA compliant encrypted video and voice or voice call. The video audio or audio call can be done via the remote medical facility smartphone in the (OEK).

The support controller (eye doctor) can also use portable wireless headphones with a microphone to maintain clear communication with the patient. The Optometrist or Ophthalmologist (eye doctor) will ask the patient if the patient has any questions. Payment to the remote eye doctor may be made via the mobile application or via a contract with the remote facility company. Payment can also be made via connection to a mobile application on the patient's smartphone or portable electronic device. (FIG. 17). The eye doctor can send out a prescription via picture or email to the eye exam office, pharmacy, or to the patient's email. (FIG. 16).

The system will be operated by a network of healthcare providers with the application running on their portable electronic devices. The mobile application has the capabilities to have a scheduling system for each remote medical facility needing service. The system is built to be upgradable to provide extra equipment adaptability. Some of the equipment adaptability may be any digital phoropter and/or subjective refractor apparatus from any company. With a proprietary special proprietary adapter apparatus and software, any system or equipment can become remotely controlled by the network of healthcare providers. In the case of the digital phoropter or any portable digital phoropter technology, a remote healthcare provider may be able to control the robotic equipment inside the phoropter that changes the lenses that changes the shape of the lenses depending on the digital phoropter technology used. (FIG. 23).

No matter which vision refraction system is used, the ability of the adapter apparatus being and software being connected to the device becomes an (IDD) indirectly to directly direct or an indirect to direct (ID) remotely operated via MCB. This will enable any remote health care practitioner to provide remote subjective refraction to any person in the world. The way the system is configured with the proprietary adapters makes it capable of being operated anywhere in the world as long as we have internet connectivity and wireless cellphone networks connectivity. (FIG. 24).
