AbstractPurpose. We describe in detail a relatively simple technique of fundus photography in human and rabbit eyes using a smartphone, an inexpensive app for the smartphone, and instruments that are readily available in an ophthalmic practice.
...
Conclusion. The currently described system was able to take consistently high-quality fundus photographs in patients and in animals using readily available instruments that are portable with simple power sources. It is relatively simple to master, is relatively inexpensive, and can take advantage of the expanding mobile-telephone networks for telemedicine.
Investigadores del Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary y de la Universidad de Harvard han desarrollado una aplicación que diagnostica el fondo del ojo con un iPhone y los instrumentos que están disponibles en una práctica oftalmológica, lo que permite hacer asequible a todo el mundo una prueba necesaria pero costosa.
