Fundus photographs will be taken with our smartphone-based camera along with the standard of care, including traditional desktop fundus photography. We will test the feasibility and accuracy of a smartphone-based camera for diagnosing disease along with the stage of disease. Several ophthalmologists will grade the smartphone fundus photographs, the traditional retinal photographs, and the documented eye examination. We will assess the agreement between the graders for the diagnosis of eye disease. We will also assess the sensitivity and specificity of diagnoses with the smartphone, using traditional retinal imaging as the reference standard and in a separate analysis using the ophthalmologist's examination as the reference standard.
