Abstract
A modular lens adapter system or kit is provided for mobile anterior and posterior segment ophthalmoscopy. Equipped with various lens adapter modules, respective lenses and a mobile imaging device, a user is provided with tools for various mobile ophthalmoscopy imaging applications. Eye care practitioners can use their existing lenses to customize the modular lens adapter system in a cost-effective way, which allows for mobile and remote capture, viewing, and utilization of clinical images. The various modules are also adaptable to nearly any type of phone or tablet regardless of its dimensions or presence of a protective case. The invention also addresses the need for fewer, smaller, less expensive, and easier to use ophthalmic imaging equipment, which is further important in enabling a broad base of users.
