Blindness from retinopathy can be prevented with early detection and appropriate treatment. Ret-iKon is an application that was created with two objectives:
A. For the physician/health care provider: To examine the posterior pole of the eye while obtaining retinal images using your smartphone and an indirect lens to allow an easy and cost effective screening.
B. For the patient: To detect changes in central vision.
In addition, the images taken by Physicians and patients can be sent to retina specialists for analysis.
