WELCOME to the home of phoneoscopy.
Imaging the eye well allows us to educate others and ourselves, document pathology and to share the beautiful and the unusual. This site is dedicated to making this easier than ever to achieve.

5th place= iPhone 7
Equine/large animals:
1st place = iPhoneX (inc XS and XSmax)
2nd place = iPhone SE
3rd place = iPhone 8
4th place = iPhone 7
5th place= iPhone 6 plus
Check out our new section on "indirect phoneoscopy".
Retina
Imaging the retina:Using the built in camera on a smart phone without modification it is possible to record high resolution fundic images, without the use of additional lenses or ophthalmoscopes.
This technique relies on the small size of the smart phone camera lens and the close proximity of the LED light to the optical axis. The use of a camera application (e.g. The iPhone Apps "procamera" or "Camera +" by Tap Tap) which allows continuous illumination of the field of view is key to allowing fundic illumination, fundic photography. Fundic videography can usually be performed using the native video app on most phones with the LED turned on during recording.
Lens
Imaging the lens: Using continuous near coaxial illumination, patience and a steady hand it is possible to use fundic reflections to retro-illuminate lens changes and document lens lesions in a way which is very difficult to achieve with conventional photographic techniques.
Macro photography and other cool stuff.
Learn how to make a macro lens from an old DVD or CD drive.
Make an eye piece adaptor for your smart phone and turn your phone in to a slit lamp camera.
Use your phone to photograph cytology and histology images.
