Been using the iPhone 13 Pro Max for MACRO eye 👁 photos this week. Impressed. Will innovate patient eye care & telemedicine. 👀 forward to seeing where it goes 😊 … Photos are from healing a resolving abrasion in a cornea transplant. Permission was obtained to use photos 🙏🏼. PS: this “Pro camera” includes a telephone app too! 😂
You should NOT use mobile phone camera to shoot macro if details are important. By less of the cost of an iPhone 13, you could have bought a cropped sensor DSLR and a lens like canon 100mm 1:1 macro or even better a Laowa 100mm 2:1 and you would have a so much better detail. This way your diagnoses may be wrong. There are too much noise that can be confused with stains or blur. Take it from a macrophotographer... it is not yet the time to use this, even with 90% certainty. ;)
Incredible innovation to build a phone into a camera 😋
Awesome!
Amazing!!! I want to learn how to use it!
What I like about this is that the Optometrist /Opthamologist can show the patient IMMEDIATELY, the condition of their eye

This is a useful application of the phone. As I understand, the phone is used to take a magnified macro image of eye mimicking a SLR camera with a macro lens. However, don't we still need more detailed retina imaging photography for eye pre-op or post-op diagnoses?
Very cool use TK! This could be used for oculoplastic lesions as well. My poor Nikon camera will be collecting more dust!
Awesome! I assume you delete the photos from the phone after uploading to the EMR chart? #hipaa

2yHere’s a deeper dive on how I transitioned from D-SLR cameras to the iPhone as my primary “📷” to document 👁 disease & telemedicine impact.👇 https://petapixel.com/2021/10/01/why-this-doctor-uses-the-iphone-13-pro-to-photograph-patients-eyes/
