In said paper, the authors point out that it would be interesting to carry out protocolized control studies with random reviews of retinographies classified as normal by primary health care physicians in order to assess the degree of sensitivity.During the 89th Congress of the Ophthalmology Society of Spain held September 2013 in Tenerife, we presented on behalf of the Nuestra Señora de Candelaria University Hospital (HUNSC) a spoken communication titled “Predictive values in the daily practice of diabetic retinopathy screening with ophthalmology software”, authored by Dr. Alonso-Plasencia et al. Said study reviewed a sample of 200 retinographies analyzed by primary health care physicians within the RETISALUD program. These retinographies were randomly selected by the Canary Islands Health Services. The positive predictive value or the probability that a retinography reported as pathological is true was 35.19%, while the negative predictive value or the probability that a retinography reported as healthy is true was of 94.4%. This means that primary health care physicians refer many healthy patients to the ophthalmologist as pathological cases, while when they refer healthy patients the probability of being right is very high. One of the conclusions was that these results could be due to the absence of refresher training for primary health care physicians.In 2013, a new training program for primary health care doctors was launched in the framework of the RETISALUD program in 12 of the primary care centers in the HUNSC area. After said training, the results of primary care retinography screenings were reviewed and presented at the meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), held last June 2016 in Seattle, USA. The results showed statistically significant improvements after said refresher training. True positives increased from 30.5% to 41.4% and false positives diminished from 56.2% to 48.3%.One of the risks of failure identified after the deployment of a telemedicine program is sustainability, i.e., it must be based on committed and involved personnel who must be incentivated and motivated to maintain their interest in the project and to reach the objectives set out in the original design.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020">2</a> We believe that, on the basis of our results, regular reviews of telemedicine program performance and sustained ongoing training are key factors for maintaining and improving the results of participating patients."

Archivos de la Sociedad Española de Oftalmología is the official journal of the Ophthalmology Society of Spain, that has over 4,000 members. It gives priority to the publication of basic, translational and clinic research including reviews, original articles, short communications, editorials, letters to the editor and clinic practice guides related to Ophthalmology and its subspecialties. A small section of the journal is reserved for the most relevant papers presented at the annual Congress of the Society. All manuscripts considered for publication are reviewed by expert examiner peers (double blind). The journal is published monthly and even though its official language is Spanish all articles are translated into English to increase the dissemination of scientific information. At present, Archivos is the only Spanish language Ophthalmology journal indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE in addition to other prestigious international databases such as Scopus.
