Create your own low-cost digital imaging system by combining your smart-phone with your slit lamp.

Recent cell phones like for example the Samsung galaxy as well as iPhone work extremely well as a substitute for regular slit lamp cameras with image quality comparable to or possibly superior then conventional images.

Slit lamp cameras can cost as much as $10,000 and also rely on the services of an experienced slit lamp photographer to produce consistent, high quality images of the anterior segment.

A smart-phone with an integrated camera with a minimum of five megapixels can also make very clear, high-resolution photos of the anterior segment. Using an adapter will allow you to center and steady your camera.
