Smartphone ophthalmoscopy vs. slit-lamp biomicroscopy in diabetic retinopathy
In this prospective, comparative, clinical study the authors’ aim was to assess the reliability and accuracy of smartphone ophthalmoscopy as compared with standard slit-lamp biomicroscopy in the grading of diabetic retinopathy. One hundred and twenty consecutive, new, diabetic patients underwent...The Arclight: A ‘pocket’ ophthalmoscope to revitalise undergraduate teaching?
Ophthalmoscopy should be a core skill for every doctor and should be firmly embedded in the undergraduate curriculum similar to the unquestioned position of the stethoscope. The simplicity of the Arclight means it is easy to useand, importantly, to learn...
D-EYE device versus direct ophthalmoscope
D-EYE digital ophthalmoscope is a fundus camera device that attaches to a smartphone and is used in conjunction with a HIPAA-compliant app. The authors conducted a study in which 25 medical students examined the fundi of two undilated patients with...Adaptive optics imaging: resolving single cells in the living eye
The human retina is unique in the central nervous system (CNS) in that it can be directly visualised non-invasively. Technological advances of several imaging modalities, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), multichannel scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and fundus photography, have afforded...
Improving reading of fundus photographs in an emergency setting
The first phases of the FOTO-ED study found that emergency providers perform significantly better with fundus photography than with direct ophthalmoscopy in the detection of fundus abnormalities. The authors hypothesised that by providing additional training to emergency providers, this would...
CSD-OCT detection of minimally visible retinoblastoma
This paper reports minimally visible tumour recurrence that was detectable on spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) in a two-month-old infant who had a diagnosis of bilateral familial retinoblastoma. The infant was treated with IVC for six cycles with vincristine, etoposide and...

This paper reports minimally visible tumour recurrence that was detectable on spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) in a two-month old infant who had a diagnosis of bilateral familial retinoblastoma. The infant was treated with IVC for six cycles with vincristine, etoposide...
Expert vs. non expert grading of ROP from digital video images
The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether digital video images of the retina obtained using an indirect ophthalmoscope imaging system could be accurately graded for zone and stage of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and the presence of...Part 1: The Arclight Project – Frugal tech for sight
The Arclight Project is a mix of frugal design, manufacturing, distribution, teaching, research, and advocacy, all wrapped up in a social enterprise based at the University of St Andrews. The project is driven by the high burden of needless blindness...
