Portable Handheld Slit-Lamp Based on a Smartphone Camera for Cataract Screening

Telemedicine screening of retinal diseases with a handheld portable non-mydriatic fundus camera

BACKGROUND We modified and reconstructed a high image quality portable non-mydriatic fundus camera and compared it with the tabletop fundus camera to evaluate the efficacy of the new camera in detecting retinal diseases. METHODS We designed and built a novel portable handheld fundus camera with telemedicine system. The image quality of fundus cameras was compared to that of existing commercia...

Applanation tonometry: a comparison of the Perkins handheld and Goldmann slit lamp-mounted methods

PURPOSE To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements, taken using Perkins applanation tonometry (PAT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). METHODS 100 eyes of 100 patients underwent Perkins and Goldmann applanation tonometry, with a randomized order of modality, performed by a masked observer. The right eye was measured, for all subjects, and the data used in statistical analysis. ...

Television slit-lamp biomicroscopy.

The basic requirements for performing television slit-lamp biomicroscopy are outlined, and the methods of demonstrating particular features of ocular anatomy and ocular disease are discussed. The technique has a particular role in teaching in the clinical setting.

The fundus slit lamp

Fundus biomicroscopy with the slit lamp as it is practiced widely nowadays was not established until the 1980-es with the introduction of the Volk lenses +90 and +60D. Thereafter little progress has been made in retinal imaging with the slit lamp. It is the aim of this paper to fully exploit the potential of a video slit lamp for fundus documentation by using easily accessible additions. Suitab...
