Digital cameras manufactured such that the flash is located near the lens produce a bright red reflex in the pupils that can be used to determine risk factors for amblyopia. When a child's eye is not focused on the camera, a light crescent appears in the pupil instead of a uniform dark red color produced by a focused, well-aligned eye. ABCD has purchased several digital cameras with flash-to-lens distance short enough to produce good photoscreening images. These cameras have been calibrated for threshold-levels of amblyogenic unequal farsightedness (hyperopic anisometropia) in a normal young subject (Andrew Arnold) who wore known powered myopic contact lenses to induce known amounts of unequal farsightedness and astigmatism (Alaska Med. September/October 2004;46(3):63-72). We showed that an iPhone 4 has the potential to work as a photoscreener leading to the start of GoCheck Kids. | |||||

Gobiquity has developed apps for various smart phones called GoCheckKids. Smart phones have the "design flaw" of keeping the flash near the lens. |
