Positioning

When capturing an image if the camera is not held perpendicular to the patient’s face, even if the image on the screen shows the retina properly focused, the capture will contain a glare where external light has entered the camera during capture.

If you don’t position the device correctly, some external light can be captured. This can be identified by the white glare on the edges of the image, as shown below. To correct this mistake, ensure you are holding the device perpendicular to the patient’s face and try to stay at the same level as them, either both sitting down or standing up.

If your pictures contain black spots on the edges, bring the device closer to the patient’s face and before taking the picture ensure that the retina is evenly illuminated. Everything that appears dark before the photo will continue being dark in the photo.

When taking pictures you should use the appropriate mode of capture (anterior for anterior pictures and retina for posterior segment pictures), otherwise the quality of the pictures will be affected.
