Project Summary

Project Information
|
A fundus camera is used to photograph the retina to
provide information about a patient's eye. Diabetic
retinopathy is a complication associated with
diabetes, eventually leading to blindness. With
proper care, patients with retinopathy can reduce
their risk of blindness by 95%.
Due to the need for pupil dilation, specialized
camera equipment, staff, and facilities, diabetic
patients often do not receive regular screenings.
By creating a low-cost, portable, and easy to use
fundus camera, screening for retinopathy in
diabetic patients can be performed by a general
practitioner.
