Abstract

Slit lamp is the most essential tool in every ophthalmologist’s clinic. Conventional slit lamp photography is expensive while the usage of mobile adapters needs the aid of slit lamp for photography. We used ASPI; in which an 15D intraocular lens was attached to the back of the smartphone camera to capture anterior segment findings. Various ocular surface pathologies like lid, corneal surface, pupillary pathologies etc. could be captured with this user-friendly technique just with the aid of a smartphone and ASPI. This setup is also useful for bedridden and ICU patients as opposed to slit lamps which is static and requires the patient to sit in front of the examiner. This video is based on a resident’s perspective of how ASPI; an innovative cost-effective DIY essential tool has transformed her academic journey in every aspect especially for case discussions, treatment opinion from experts, publications and photo documentation in rural and emergency setups devoid of slit lamps.
