Clinical evaluation of corneal ulcer with a portable and smartphone-attachable slit lamp device: Smart Eye Camera.

ABSTRACT: Corneal ulcer is one of the most important ophthalmic emergencies. A portable, recordable, and smartphone-attachable slit-lamp device called the "Smart Eye Camera" (SEC) is introduced to compare evaluating corneal ulcers between the SEC and the conventional slit-lamp. A total of 110 participants were included in the study, consisting of 55 patients with corneal ulcers and 55 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers as controls. The participants were first subjected to examination by a conventional slit lamp. The video recording with SEC and imaging with a slit lamp were done by a non-medical person. Both SEC videos and slit-lamp photos were reported by two independent ophthalmologists and compared with a slit-lamp examination as a gold standard. The average age of the study participants
