- Abstract
Although smartphones can capture good-quality ocular image, none have a blue filter to capture such images. Conventionally, corneal pathologies are photographed using slit lamp photography (SLP) units after staining them with fluorescein stain however, in situations where SLP is not available/possible (bedridden patients, during field medical/eye camps, infants, uncooperative patients etc.) it is difficult to capture fluorescein-stained images of the cornea. This filter is a low-cost, pocket-sized adapter that can be used by anyone with a modern smartphone to obtain a clear image of the fluorescein-stained cornea ([Figure 1] and Video).
