Fig 2. Slit lamp photography and high quality iPhone photographs through slit lamp oculars.

Ophthalmic screening for cataract included evaluation of visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurement, slit lamp examination, dilated funduscopic examination and ultrasonography. While advanced photography was largely unavailable, photography could be performed with an iPhone and the ocular of the microscope (A). Resultant iPhone photographs through the ocular of the microscope showed white mature cataract (B, C) and posterior synechiae in eyes of Ebola virus disease survivors indicating chronic untreated inflammation (C, yellow arrows). High-resolution photography through operator stabilization enables visualization of anterior capsule crenations and cortical clefts within intumescent cataract.
