Resume de l’article : Ophtalmologie : pourquoi le temps d’attente pour obtenir un rendez-vous a baissé ?

The article discusses the decrease in waiting times for ophthalmology appointments in recent years. According to a study conducted by the French Society of Ophthalmology and the health data company, DREES, the average waiting time for an appointment with an ophthalmologist in France has decreased from 96 days in 2015 to 78 days in 2019. This decrease is attributed to several factors, including an increase in the number of ophthalmologists in France, improved organization of care, and better use of telemedicine. The study also notes that there is still significant variability in waiting times depending on the region and the type of care needed. Overall, the decrease in waiting times for ophthalmology appointments is a positive development, as it can help ensure that patients receive timely and appropriate care for their vision needs.
