Material and Methods: A systematic review of controlled and randomized clinical trial studies without time limit was explored by searching keywords in the title, abstract and keywords of the studies in the reliable scientific databases Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed on April 20, 2022. A gray literature search was also conducted using the Google search engine to identify the most recent possible evidence. The quality of the studies was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist; that the studies with a score above 7 were included in the analysis. Results: : A total of 40 articles were identified after removing duplicates. After screening the full text of the articles, 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. The technologies used for teleophthalmology in the studies included remote monitoring (20%), remote screening (40%), remote medical reminders (30%), and websites (10%). In (80%) of teleophthalmology studies, the intervention group reported a significant improvement in the investigated outcomes compared to the control group. Conclusion: The results of our systematic review showed that in the majority of studies, Teleophthalmology interventions have a positive result compared to face-toface interventions.
