«Validating semi-automated 3D slit-lamp examination for anterior segment assessment»

Up until now, technology advancement facilitates tele eye care services, especially in the remote areas. However, some challenges still remain, one of which is the detailed assessment of ocular surface. The Ocular surface has a three-dimensional structure, making the stereoscopic clues important in disease detection. Therefore, this project, in partnership with LightX Innovations Inc., aims to invent a proper and feasible instrument based on 3D slit-lamp photography assisted with smartphones into telehealth service. The objectives of the current project are to assess the reliability of this method in disease detection and to assess its agreement with the convetional slit-lamp examination in analysing the clinical signs of ocular surface. Thus, this study, may help tele-health practitioners analyses more ocular surface diseases, especially those with the stereoscopic clues.
