Trans-palpebral illumination: an approach for wide-angle fundus photography without the need for pupil dilation

Abstract

It is technically difficult to construct wide-angle fundus imaging devices due to the complexity of conventional transpupillary illumination and imaging mechanisms. We report here a new method, i.e., trans-palpebral illumination, for wide-angle fundus photography without the need for pupil dilation. By constructing a smartphone-based prototype imaging device, we demonstrated a 152° view in a single-shot image. The unique combination of low-cost smartphone design and automatic illumination optimization promises an affordable solution to conduct telemedicine assessment of eye diseases, which will improve access to eye care for patients in rural and underserved areas.
