Comparative Detection of Optic Disc Abnormalities with Digital Images Obtained with an iPhone Camera attached to a PanOptic Ophthalmoscope vs. Standard Fundus Photography. (.pdf)

Neurogenic visual loss often causes optic disc abnormalities that need to be evaluated urgently by non neuro-ophthalmologists. The ability to transmit digital photographs to a specialist makes it possible for a neuro-ophthalmologist to remotely evaluate optic nerves in real time. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative diagnostic accuracy of detecting optic disc abnormalities in photographs taken by an iPhone4S camera attached to the PanOptic Ophthalmoscope (ICPO) vs. those obtained with standard fundus camera photography.
