Abstract

Abstract Introduction: We describe a low cost portable ocular anterior segment imaging system consisting of a lens-style camera linked via a wireless connection to a smartphone. Materials and methods: A Sony DSC-QX10 lens-style digital camera controlled through a wireless connection with an Android OS based smartphone was attached to a standard camera tripod. Slit illumination of the anterior segment of the eye was done through a Heine HSL-150 hand-held slit lamp held close to the camera. Results: Anterior segment ocular images obtained were of good quality even in low light conditions and most importantly not affected by observer induced vibrations by attaching the camera to a tripod. Conclusions: Our method of ocular anterior segment imaging may be of benefit to eye care specialists when out of the office or when providing care to patients living in communities in the developing world.
