What is already good… • Quality imaging convenient for bedside use • Instant electronic transmission of images and videos enable real-time telemedicine consultation • SmartPhone tele-ophthalmology for diabetic retinopathy assessment and for quick second opinion useful in residency training, in the ED, and amongst general practioners.2-4 • Fundoscopic images reveal no external facial features, so protects patient identity and privacy • PanOptic offers a 25° scope of field through the undilated pupil, 5x larger than standard Welch Allyn direct ophthalmoscope (images below)1,5 can use iExaminer without pharmacologic dila What could be better… What is already good… • Quality imaging convenient at bedside • Instant electronic transmission of images and videos enable real-time telemedicine consultation • SmartPhone tele-ophthalmology for diabetic retinopathy assessment and for quick second opinion useful in residency training, in the ED, and amongst general practiioners.2-4 • Fundoscopic images reveal no external facial features, so protects patient identity and privacy • PanOptic offers a 25˚ scope of field through the undilated pupil, 5x larger than the standard Welch Allyn direct ophthalmoscope can use iExaminer without pharmacologic dilation1,5 • Learning curve to optimal maneuvering of the system • Micro-movements can be disruptive minimize by bracing hand on patient’s forehead, recline patient to avoid fighting gravity • Glare artifact use medium range lighting • View of peripheral retina is difficult • Battery life of the ophthalmoscope per charge may limit number of patients consecutively imaged on-the-go • Current iExaminer design only compatible with iPhone 4 and 4S which have 5-8 megapixels camera capacity lower image resolution than the latest models Conclusion: The iExaminer is an inexpensive, portable, and effective tool for imaging posterior pole pathology with telemedicine potential.

Comparison of Smartphone Ophthalmoscopy with Slit-lamp Biomicroscopy for Grading Diabetic Retinopathy Andrea Russo, MD University of Brescia - Italy
Study Design • ProspectiveStudy • Setting: OphthalmicDiabetic Center of “Spedali Civili di Brescia” –Italy • 120 consecutive patients with diabetes • smartphone ophthalmoscopy • retinal slit-lamp examination
Results • The eye fundus was not gradable for DR in 9 eyes (13.3%) by smartphone ophthalmoscopy and in 4 eyes (3.3%) by biomicroscopy because of cataract and/or small pupil diameter. • An exact agreement was found in 204 (85%) of 240 eyes and an agreement within one step was observed in 232 eyes (96.7%). • Simple κ was 0.78 (95% confidence interval 0.71–0.84; P < 0.001), showing a substantial agreement.
Conclusion In conclusion, this study shows that smartphone ophthalmoscopy with the D-Eye system can accurately detect retinal lesions for grading DR and might be used as a screening tool for diabetic retinopathy.
Visual Field Screening in Nepal Using an iPad to Test Normal Controls, Persons with Glaucoma and Individuals with Diabetic Retinopathy Suman Thapa. MD, PhD - Nepal Glaucoma Eye Clinic, Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, Kathmandu, Nepal Alan L Robin, MD - Depts of Ophthalmology, Univ of Maryland and Johns Hopkins Univ Chris A. Johnson, PhD, DSc - Dept of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Univ of Iowa Nothing to disclose
Screening for Glaucoma Controversial – Cost-benefit ratio is not favorable for general screening. However can target “at risk” populations (persons of African descent, hispaniclatinos, elderly, persons with limited or no access to traditional eye and health care) The purpose of this study was to perform visual field screening in Nepal using a low-cost program available on the iPad tablet.
Background luminance is 31.5 asb (10 cd/m2) 96 test locations (right eye format is shown to the Right) – the left eye is a mirror image of the right eye format. Target size is a Goldmann Size V (1.73 deg diameter) Target luminance is 250 asb, 80 cd/m2, or 16 dB) Each quadrant is tested one at a time (upper right, upper Left, lower left, lower right). A red fixation point moves from one corner of the display to another.
Participants Inclusion Criteria: Complete Eye Exam (anterior segment biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy of the optic nerve head, retinal nerve fiber layer and macula, 20/60 or better visual acuity, fundus photography, no other ocular, neurologic or systemic diseases other than glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy. More than 400 eyes evaluated with Visual Fields Easy. Most participants also underwent Humphrey Field Analyzer 24-2 SITA Standard tests for comparison purposes. 210 Normal Control Eyes, 198 with HFA results 183 Glaucoma Eyes, 160 with HFA results 18 Diabetic Retinopathy Eyes, 15 with HFA results
Conclusions Future Directions Optimize target presentation pattern (are 96 visual field locations necessary ?) Reduce the testing time (the Matrix frequency doubling perimeter performs screening in 30-60 seconds per eye). Reduce the false positive rate (retest missed points and those that disagree with their neighbors). Remove the need to tap the screen. It is possible to perform visual field screening in remote areas of the world. The Visual Fields Easy performed quite well on a iPad, and demonstrated good correlations with HFA test values. Testing time was an average of 3 minutes and 18 seconds for all three groups.

How to use the anterior adapter Light switch
Using the Posterior Adapter Example View
Indications • Imaging and photodocumentation of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye • Designed for use in emergency room, urgent care, primary care, and optometrist offices, inpatient/hospital bedside and rural settings where expensive ophthalmic imaging equipment is unavailable. • Intended for use by both eye care specialists and non-eye care specialists as well as non-M.D.’s
Smartphone cameras alone not enough Without EyeGo • Good for adnexa, lid, and conjunctiva • Poor corneal, iris, chamber, and lens detail • Requires digital zoom • The phone alone can do 90% of the work… • Just need the right OPTICS and LIGHTING With EyeGo
Macro Lens Alone Optics + Lighting Macro Lens + LED
