Clinical and sociodemographic variables were analyzed. Generated clinical orders for additional testing, surgical procedures, follow-ups, and referrals, as well as changes in medical treatment, were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 11,034 telemedicine consults were included. The mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009standard deviation age of this group was 63\u2009\u00b1\u200917.2 years and 67% were female. Of the patients who attended teleconsults, 49% were glaucoma suspects and 38.5% were followed with a diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma. After the consult, 25% of patients were referred to a glaucoma specialist, 40% had additional testing ordered, and 8% had a surgical procedure ordered, mainly laser iridotomy (409 cases). Almost a third of patients returned for subsequent telemedicine visits after the initial encounter. Despite some technical difficulties, 99.8% of patients attended and completed their scheduled telemedicine appointments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A telemedicine program aimed to monitor established glaucoma patients can be successfully implemented.
