Ocular health screening among care-center residents with disabilities: a smartphone adaptive fundus camera cross-sectional study

CONCLUSIONS: Screening for ocular health with a novel smartphone-adapted fundus camera revealed significantly higher rates of various ocular diseases in care center disabled residents. Given technological progress, remote control method-assisted ocular exams appear to be potentially feasible and clinically beneficial. This could allow trained allied health personnel to perform ocular health screenings without the need to transport a disabled person to the hospital. Thus, diagnosis and follow-up of various chronic ocular diseases may be properly organized.PMID:36734705 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202301_31063
