iPhone Slit Lamp Adapter — Anterior Segment Photography with Your iPhone
The Digital Eye Center iPhone slit lamp adapter lets you capture high-resolution anterior segment images and Full HD video using the iPhone camera you already carry. This iPhone slit lamp adapter clips onto the slit lamp eyepiece in seconds, aligning the iPhone lens with the optical path for sharp, consistent documentation — no additional cameras, cords, or software required. Compatible with most slit lamp brands and models, it works in every exam room with a single device, making it the most practical and cost-effective way to add digital documentation to any slit lamp setup. You can also take fundus images using a diagnostic lens (video mode recommended for fundus).
A National Library of Medicine study confirms that smartphone slit lamp imaging provides clinically usable image quality suitable for anterior segment documentation and remote consultation.
