Open-source, 3D printable IOL holder for detailed, smartphone-based anterior segment photography.

Smartphones are increasingly relevant resources in medical practice as they are ubiquitous and reasonably cheap. Among the advantages of using smartphones in medical practise, there is the possibility of obtaining reproducible photographic documentation of various conditions. This is particularly true in the ophthalmic field, where anterior segment color photography plays a significant role in the diagnosis and the management of ocular surface diseases. Here we propose an original design for an open-source smartphone accessory for taking and sharing high-definition photographs of the anterior segment. It can be easily reproduced via 3D printing, and it only needs to be integrated with an intraocular lens (IOL), widely available to the majority of ophthalmologists. Compared to other solutions described previously, it allows a precise and reproducible placement of the IOL on the smartphone camera, avoiding manual positioning that could result tricky and time-consuming. The IOL holder is cheap, scalable, portable and it can be quickly assembled and disassembled, without permanently modifying the smartphone camera.
