Dr.Onic Mobile Adaptor for Slit Lamp Microscopes,Compatible with All Android and I Phones

Product Information

The availability of smartphones has been increasing in the United States and worldwide over the last decade. It is estimated that approximately 60% of adults in the United States have a smartphone, 1 and similar growth has been seen in many other parts of the world. On a daily basis, most ophthalmologists will have access to these devices, which provide a platform for capturing and sharing ophthalmic clinical images. The quality and quantity of illumination is just as important as the quality of your smartphone camera. The biggest variables affecting light quality are diffusion and color temperature. Diffuse light offers uniform illumination of a large area and is helpful when examining structures that don’t require high magnification such as the ocular adnexa, eyelids, and conjunctiva. Diffusion can be achieved by using diffusers that were built into your slit lamp or by placing a semi-transparent filter (such as a cough syrup measuring cup) over the slit lamp’s light source. In addition, neutral or daylight-balanced color temperature (ie, 5,500 K) is ideal because it helps to ensure that findings such as conjunctival hyperemia are represented accurately in photographs. A good way to achieve brightness or color temperature balance is to use an LED module or an external light LED light source, which can be obtained from companies such as EyePhotoDoc and Augmented Vision Labs. CAMERA SETTINGS The Filmic Pro app (Cinegenix LLC, Seattle, WA) was found to provide control of the light intensity and independent control of focus and exposure, which are required to obtain high-quality fundus images with this technique. Being able to use a smartphone to show patients high-quality photographs of their eyes would be a game-changer in our patient education efforts.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Dr. Korn says that the fact that his patients can also take photos of their own eyes at home makes it much easier for him to work with them remotely. They can now send me pictures remotely and I can conduct a televideo visit with them and ask them to show me their eye,” he says. “And that improves telemedicine. I can then bring in the people who really need to be seen in person, and those who are not an urgent case can still get care conveniently at home.”Kim DY, Delori F, Mukai S.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] As soon as you take the picture, it will be transferred through the wireless network into your PC, then you can show it in high resolution, and it will be shared with your EMR simultaneously. To get this result, I can tell you that you did nothing; you just took the picture. https://www.celestron.de/ce_de/nexyz-universaler-3-achsen-smartphone-adapter.html (accessed on 20 October 2022)

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Although a slit lamp camera has advantages over a smartphone when taking anterior eye pictures, it is also known that the best camera is the one you have in your hand.

Hardware attachments for smartphone fundoscopy have been developed with built-in optical devices to image the retina without any external equipment. Giardini et al8 recently reported on a new adapter for the Samsung (Ridgefield Park, NJ) Galaxy S III smartphone, which is a low-cost alternative to a direct ophthalmoscope and can capture high-quality fundus images, including the optic nerve ( Figure 4). The light levels of the iPhone 4 were tested by Kim et al 11 and were found to be well within the safety standards for human eyes and 10 times less than the levels produced by the commercially available Keeler Vantage Plus LED indirect ophthalmoscope. Fundus images are captured in the video mode for ease of acquisition.

In ophthalmology, one very useful tool is "Smart Phoneography", a clever term previously coined by users. The use of smartphones, in particular iPhones, for ophthalmic photography has become increasingly popular, and recently has been the topic on many podia, such as at the ASCRS 2013 meeting in San Francisco. Here, Christian Hester, Mitch Weikert and Clifford Terry presented their experiences using smart phones to capture images. Russo A, Morescalchi F, Costagliola C, Delcassi L, Semeraro F. Comparison of smartphone ophthalmoscopy with slit-lamp biomicroscopy for grading diabetic retinopathy. Am J Ophthalmol. 2015;159:360-364. Slit lamp imaging is incredibly valuable and it amazes me that it is not seen as a fundamental part of the hospital eye service. Although diagrams in the notes are useful, there is no doubt in my mind that a photo is far more objective and useful when combined with a clinician’s impression of the patient’s condition. Shorter learning curvesLabCam fits directly into the eyepiece barrel and rests on the head unit, other than viewing the eye on screen exams are performed in the same manner using your slit lamp's controls. LabCam can also be attached to the teaching port (if one is available), allow uninterrupted imaging, and multiple trainees to view live at the same time. The ultimate "drop-in" slit lamp upgrade requiring no service technician or in-service training. Fogla, R.; Rao, S.K. Ophthalmic photography using a digital camera. Indian J.
