A set of parents began to worry when they noticed their 10 year-old daughter wouldn’t stop rubbing her eye. They took her to see Dr. Phara Khauv, a local ophthalmologist who found an abnormality – the likely result of either a severe infection or retinoblastoma, a type of cancer affecting the eyes of children. Dr. Khauv feared that she faced a sight-threatening condition, or even worse, a life-threatening one.
Determined to make the right diagnosis on the complex case, he turned to a familiar resource: Orbis’s telemedicine platform, Cybersight. The platform’s teleconsulting feature allows ophthalmologists like Dr. Khauv to upload patient cases and receive advice from expert mentor doctors around the world.
