SMARTPHONES IN OPHTHTALMOLOGY Authors: Allen Popović-Beganović, Zlatko Mušanović, Edita Zvorničanin Eye Clinic Universitiy Clinical Center Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina Introduction: Mobile technology continues to revolutionize how physicians practice medicine, and ophthalmologists are no exception. From having access to the latest medical research at the point of care to being able to communicate at a moment's notice with physicians and colleagues around the world, we are practicing medicine in a technological age. Material and methods: Video and photo presentation of available ophthalmic software for smartphones. Results: Smartphones are multifunction electronic devices that can be used to perform photography and videography, internet browsing, data sharing, listening to music and watching/prsenting movies and pictures. They have been used by physicians for some time as a reference utility and now, for the ophthalmologist these devices are much more. Ophthalmology is a gadget-centered specialty and every doctor is used to carrying a phone, pager, digital camera and personal digital assistant to keep in communication with the clinic, document findings, access medical information and keep ourselves organized. Smartphones, in particular the iPhone/Android phones, have utility in virtually every part of an ophthalmologic examination. With the functionality that we will present in this article, it appears that these devices have secured a place in the ophthalmologist's tool bag. Presently in the USA about one out of every two physicians utilizes smartphones, with estimates suggesting that about 85 percent physicians may use a smartphone by end of 2012. Creation of applications for smartphones allows end users access to a tool that is designed to perform a specific task quickly and effectively. Conclusions: The increasing distribution of smartphone applications in ophthalmology may have the potential to facilitate patient treatment, data management and communication. Key words: ophthalmology, smartphones
