Recently, a smartphone opthalmoscope (SO) has been developed as a fundoscope that can be used by non-ophthalmologists. For non-ophthalmologists, SO has been shown to be easier to use than conventional indirect opthalmoscopes and to evaluate the retina more quickly and more accurately. Furthermore, the SO allows retinal findings to be stored as images. On the other hand, the potential use of SO in children, who have smaller pupil diameters than adults, has not been fully evaluated. In general, the smaller the pupil diameter, the greater the likelihood that the misalignment between the optical and visual axes of the smartphone video will make retinal viewing difficult. Hence, there is a need to minimize the misalignment of the optical and visual axes, increase the refractive index of the lens used, and improve fixation of the device. Another problem is that SOs currently available on the market are limited to specific smartphones.
In this study, we have developed an SO to accommodate pupil diameters smaller than those of adults. To validate the feasibility of using this SO in medical practice, we plan to conduct a study to evaluate retinal images in an ocular model, retinas in healthy volunteers, and retinas in critically ill patients in a step-by-step manner. In the present study, we examine a hypothesis that this SO will allow non-ophthalmologists to obtain videos from adult and pediatric eye models that can withstand ophthalmologist diagnosis.
Efficacy
For each of the adult and pediatric eye models, two ophthalmologists independently evaluated whether the stored videos by study participants were of diagnostic value or not.
(A) For each of the adult and pediatric eye models, two ophthalmologists independently evaluate the stored video quality (i) and (ii).
(i) Overall image quality (3-point scale: excellent, fair, and poor)
Excellent: the entire posterior pole is in focus. The posterior pole includes the retina between the optic nerve papilla and the arcade vessels, the macula and the optic nerve papilla.
Acceptable: too bright, too dark, or out of focus but sufficient to determine the presence or absence of a lesion
Impossible: out of focus or obscured by reflections or artifacts.
(ii) Accuracy of depiction of each anatomic merkmal (optic nerve papilla, macula, upper arcade vessels, lower arcade vessels) (3-point scale: not visible, visible but image quality is poor, visible and image quality is adequate)
(iii) Percentage of correct diagnosis by the study participants
(iv) Inter-rater agreement rate between the two opthalmologists
(B) Comparison between adult and pediatric eye models for all the above items
