Abstract

Ophthalmoscopes (direct and indirect) and fundus cameras are the most often used instruments to explore and photograph the eye fundus in ophthalmology. Traditional fundus cameras offer good-quality images but are bulky, technician dependent, costly and require a physical space. The actual extended use of smartphones with their integrated high resolution cameras has allowed their application into the fundus imaging field. Smartphone fundus imaging devices provide the chance of capturing fundus images in remote areas such as rural areas with no medical settings, humanitarian projects in developing countries, medical surgeries, hospital wards, emergency rooms and operating theatres. This paper reviews some of the recent techniques and devices for smartphone fundus imaging.
