Abstract

Ophthalmology is a very visual science & visualizing the eye and its pathology in good clarity is essential for diagnosis. Photography of Ocular structures not only allows good documentation but vastly improves the ability to teach, publish papers, etc. In the past many cameras have been available to take pictures of the eye but most of them are very expensive, bulky and specific to the anterior or posterior segments of the eye.

Smartphones have evolved to replace several gadgets in our daily life, including cameras. In Ophthalmology, they have been very useful to take good quality photographs either directly, through a slit lamp biomicroscope and even of the fundus using a 90 or 78 D lenses.

In this Video we would elaborate on the techniques, tips, and tricks to obtain excellent ophthalmic photographs and videos with a mid-level smartphone camera with and without an adapter. We will demonstrate diffused & slit photography and also photography through a Gonioscopy and 90 D lens.
