    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Photography
    • Biomedical Imaging

    Background:

    • Ophthalmic imaging is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring eye conditions.
    • Documenting external eye anomalies requires accessible and reproducible photographic methods.
    • Tracking the progression of corneal diseases like pterygium necessitates detailed visual records.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a straightforward technique for obtaining color photographs of the external eye.
    • To demonstrate the utility of this method for recording ocular surface anomalies.
    • To highlight its application in monitoring the progression of conditions such as pterygium.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a Polaroid SX-70 camera in conjunction with a biomicroscope.
    • Developed a specific protocol for capturing high-quality color images of the anterior segment.
