- Abstract
Abstract: Purpose: The utility of digital fundus images in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening has been established. A smartphone can be a device available to most ophthalmologists to capture digital fundus photographs. In this study, fundus images were captured with original camera settings for ROP documentation. Methods: The examination was performed under topical anesthesia. An assistant held a glass stick against the eye movement if infants moved their eyes too frequently. A hand-held smartphone and a 30D lens were used to record the fundus in video mode. A continuous flash was turned on to provide almost constant coaxial illumination. Fundus photographs were captured from the video film. Results: Fundus photographs can be captured successfully with a smartphone and a 30D lens under original camera settings. Conclusion: Fundus photographs of acceptable diagnostic quality can be obtained in ROP patients conveniently and inexpensively using a portable hand-held smartphone. It might be a useful tool in documentation, education, consultation, and telemedicine in ROP.
