Acrylic blue filters 3. Blue LED light. It was used to image various corneal pathologies like epithelial defects, corneal ulcer, TBUT in dry eye evaluation, superficial punctuate keratitis etc. with 20 dioptre intraocular lens aided Smartphone which enabled high resolution magnified photographs. It was useful in clinical settings without slit lamps like camps, peripheral health centers, ICU, casualty, and for point of care diagnostics.
