From the Paper:

"A global trend to reduce medical care costs is to return all referral patients to their primary clinic after surgery, and in the case of some ophthalmological problems, postoperative complications often occur because most clinics do not have extensive experience in treating complex cases. Remote examination and diagnosis of patients regardless of their location allows prevention and early diagnosis of complications and has been applied to lessen postoperative complications in patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and ocular cicatricial pemphigoid."
