Purpose: To describe a self-made smartphone adaptor which can be attached to a surgical microscope and a smartphone telescope which can be wirelessly linked to an LED TV or monitor.Methods: A smartphone slit lamp adaptor is built for microscope-assisted ocular surgery in which video can be recorded. For surgeries not utilising the microscope (such as those using surgical loupes), we employed a smartphone attached to a telescope for videography. Videos from both methods are then wirelessly streamed to a TV/monitor using EZCast, Google Chromecast or Apple TV. Results:The video captured by a smartphone is comparable to conventional digital video recording. It is affordable, easy to use and highly portable.Conclusion: Smartphone videography will be a valuable instrument in ophthalmology for both teaching and research purpose.
