Objetive: To identify the presumptive diagnoses of patients treated by synchronous teleorientation in the Ophthalmology service of the Cayetano Heredia Hospital (HCH) due to the COVID 19 pandemic, their demographic characteristics and the percentage of patients who were referred for a face-to-face evaluation. Method and analysis plan: Retrospective observational descriptive study with secondary analysis of a database collected from May to August 2020 of patients treated by ophthalmological teleorientation at HCH. Results: 389 patients were admitted for the analysis. The main presumptive diagnoses were dry eye syndrome (n=76, 24,68%), glaucoma (n=57, 18,51%), cataract (n=55, 17,85%), post operated (n=18, 5,84%) and Viral conjunctivitis / bacterial (n=17, 5,52%). The majority of the population was female (n= 111, 64,91%) and came from Lima (n=283, 91,88%). The amount of older adults was lower than that of non-older adults (n=158, 51,29% vs n=150, 48,70%). Finally, the patients programed for face-to-face appointment were 9 (5,26%). Conclusions: The main presumptive diagnosis was dry eye syndrome and the number of patients cited in the office was 4,55%. Older adults were 51,29%, with an increase in the proportion of family assistance in the group of older adults vs non-older adults (59,5% vs 84,4%, p <0.001).
