We modified and reconstructed a high image quality portable non-mydriatic fundus camera compared it with the tabletop to evaluate efficacy of new in detecting retinal diseases. designed built novel handheld telemedicine system. The cameras was that existing commercial by taking photographs 364 eyes from 254 patients. In all 800 images taken two types, 400 per camera, were graded four clarity classifications. Using 63% (252/400) as excellent overall quality, 20.5% (82/400) good, 11.75% (47/400) fair, 4.75% (19/400) inadequate. 70.75% (283/400) 20.4% (51/400) 13.25% (53/400) 3.25% (13/400) Common diseases easily identified obtained camera. type qualified have professional images. revolutionary screening provides foundational platform which can potentially improve accessibility programmes.
