Smartphone-based fundus imaging (SBFI) offers a versatile, low-cost alternative for retinal photography. This review highlights its development, applications in screening and education, and potential to improve global eye care.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • Smartphone-based fundus imaging (SBFI) has emerged as a cost-effective alternative to traditional color fundus photography.
  • Over the past decade, numerous studies have explored various adapters and clinical uses for SBFI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution of SBFI technology, including different adapters.
  • To summarize the diverse clinical applications of SBFI reported in the literature.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted using MEDLINE and Science Citation Index Expanded databases.
  • No time restrictions were applied to the database search.

Main Results:

  • Eleven adapters were evaluated based on image quality, field of view, cost, weight, software, compatibility, and certification.

  • SBFI applications include screening for diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinopathy of prematurity, as well as use in emergency medicine, pediatrics, and medical education.
  • While conventional retinal cameras generally offer superior image quality, SBFI shows promise for automatic detection of diabetic retinopathy and generating wide-field montages.

    • Conclusions:

    • SBFI presents a flexible, portable, and economical option for fundus photography.
    • It can aid in delegating eye exams, simplifying documentation, enhancing teaching, and improving eye care access, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
