Excited about smartphone MACRO photography tech for taking 👁 eye pictures such as Apple’s new iPhone 13 Pro cameras. How MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY Tech Innovates Eye Care: 1. Patient remotely sends smartphone MACRO eye photo to care team for triage. (Top Photo) 2. Doctor conducts televideo visit for non-urgent eye conditions. (Left Photo) 3. In-person office appointments are reserved for critical eye conditions. (Bottom Middle Photo) 4. High quality MACRO eye photos from smartphones rapidly identify eye emergencies and become accepted. (Right Photo) Healthcare & access improves for everyone. 😊 For #ophthalmology & #optometry doctors, the right photo is a macro picture of a hypopyon taken without a slit lamp! For emergency/urgent care doctors, #macro eye photography can improve peer to peer physician “curbside” consults when emergency/urgent care physicians communicate with ophthalmologists about patients with emergency eye conditions. #healthcare #digitalhealth #telemedicine

The above is fantastic!!! ZEISS Medical Technology used by ophthalmologists is excellent. Collaboration Apple with Zeiss could reduce the time it takes to get accurate diagnostic information for solutions. These solutions range from glasses to vision therapy to surgery. Better processes would provide vision services for a much larger # of people. The extra bonus of optimizing vision (and hearing) is that it allows a greater % of people to be successful in school and work, and significantly reduces the probability of other more serious illnesses. The reason for this is our ears and eyes have some of the smallest and most delicate nerves in our bodies.

The proper way to use technologies, not selfie filters. I have nothing against selfie filters, but tech has enormous potential, so let's use it the right way, guys.
