Detecting topographical eye disorders

Abstract

Abstract-The goal of this paper is to outline a novel method of detecting topographical eye diseases using a mobile phone. Because the shape of the eye is of concern, its exterior will be evaluated. The description and current implementation of the technique will be discussed, where the keratoconus disease is used as an example. The technique uses pictures taken of the eye using the onboard camera, and each one is compared to idealized images rendered in the phone. The pictures taken will be compared to the idealized images to search for the presence of the disease.

Optical methods for measuring corneal topography: A review

“…A. Patel et al [113] proposed a method based on the Blinn-Phong scheme. With the camera of a cellphone, they captured a series of photographs moving the phone sharply, at the same time that the accelerometer and gyroscope recorded the position and orientation of the device in the moment that each photograph was taken.…”
