Description
Heather Connor and co-authors tested in 2026 whether a phone photo method can gauge the depth of the eye's front chamber. That depth helps screen for a form of glaucoma where the drainage angle closes. Forty-three young adults had their right eyes read three ways: by a phone method, by a scan-based gold standard, and by Smith's light method. Each way was run three times to check steadiness.
Smith's method read too deep and the phone method too shallow against the gold standard. Smith's method also swung most between repeats, while the phone method was as steady as the scan. The team sees phone photos as a cheap screen where gear is scarce, with more tests owed in true patient groups.
