“…came up with a unique solution of AIM (anterior imaging module), while Chandrakanth et al , introduced ASPI (anterior segment photography with intraocular lens) with its various incremental innovations in the field of Ophthalmology. [ 3 4 5 ] A review summarizing all the existing options for anterior segment imaging devices in telemedicine throws light on the extent of digitization in Ophthalmology. [ 6 ] This takes us one step closer towards delivering effective eyecare in remote places.…”

Slit lamp biomicroscope is the right hand of an Ophthalmologist. Even though precise, its bulky design and complex working process are limiting constraints, making it difficult for screening at outreach camps, which are an integral part of this field for the purpose of eliminating needless blindness. The torchlight is the main tool used for screening. Recently, the integration of smartphones with instruments and the digitization of slit lamp has been explored, to provide simple and easy hacks. By bringing the slit of the slit lamp to traditional torchlight, we have created “The Slitscope”. It combines the best of both worlds as a simple innovative do-it-yourself novel technique for precise cataract screening. It is especially useful in peripheral centers, vision centers, and outreach camps. We present two prototypes which can also be 3D printed.

“…Fluorescein staining plays a crucial role in examining the ocular surface. Various techniques have been developed using cobalt blue attachments for smartphones to visualize fluorescein staining on the cornea [66,67]. Patients are unlikely to have fluorescein readily available in their home at baseline, but this could be provided to patients ahead of virtual visits with sufficient planning.…”

Purpose of review The growing push to integrate telemedicine into ophthalmic practices requires physicians to have a thorough understanding of ophthalmic telemedicine's applications, limitations, and recent advances in order to provide well tolerated and appropriate clinical care. This review aims to provide an overview of recent advancements in the use of ophthalmic telemedicine for anterior segment eye examinations. Recent findings Virtual care for anterior segment evaluation relies on appropriate technology, novel workflows, and appropriate clinical case selection. Recent advances, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, have highlighted the utility of home-based assessments for visual acuity, external evaluation, tonometry, and refraction. Additionally, innovative workflows incorporating office-based testing into virtual care, termed ‘hybrid telemedicine’, enable high-quality ophthalmic testing to inform clinical decision-making. Summary Novel digital tools and workflows enable high-quality anterior segment evaluation and management for select ophthalmic concerns. This review highlights the clinical tools and workflows necessary to enable anterior segment telehealth.

“…To bridge the gap, a recent innovation called the Anterior Segment Photography with an Intraocular Lens (ASPI) by Gosalia et al . [ 7 ] yields detailed and high-quality images that can be used by residents and HCWs alike in storing and learning from them. A similar smartphone technology for fundus capture was the Trash to Treasure (T3) Retcam invented by Chandrakanth et al .…”
