Abstract:

The widespread use of smartphones, provides a unique opportunity for telemedicine. In ophthalmology, smartphones are used for visual acuity assessments and to document examinations, particularly in settings like the emergency department (ED), where the usual ophthalmic tools and photographic services are unavailable. However, to our knowledge, these devices have not been used for systematic, remote review of clinical photographs, as they have in radiology and dermatology. We performed a pilot investigation to compare the quality of non-mydriatic fundus photographs displayed on an iPhone 3G versus a desktop computer.
