In Taiwan, it is very convenient to see a doctor for eye problems. There are always ophthalmology clinics on the streets, and almost every ophthalmology clinic has high-end high color rendering fiber optic lighting LED light sources that can provide detailed examination. However, in many developing countries, there are few hospitals, and doctors and patients cannot afford the expensive high-end. As a result, it can be imagined that up to 90% of visual impairment and blindness worldwide occur in developing countries. A 'ophthalmic care company' founded by ophthalmologist Fang Shengquan in New Zealand has developed a set of eye step diagnostic tools that are compatible with smartphones and are very portable.

The eye examination tool consists of two accessories. The first one is called the anterior segment microscope accessory, which provides up to 10x magnification and is equipped with white and cobalt blue examination filters with a width of 15mm. Doctors can more clearly analyze conditions such as cataracts and corneal conditions under different examination light colors to determine the cause of eye diseases. Simply clip it onto the top of the smartphone and press it tightly against the rear lens to capture high pixel images of the front third of the eye area.

The second accessory is called, which utilizes an anti reflective mirror crown and provides a view angle of up to 50 degrees, paired with a smartphone to perform retinal imaging photography. In use, simply install it on the lens and flash of the smartphone, and connect it through the front finger screw of the phone. Capable of performing inspection functions on slit lamp microscopes.

In addition to hardware accessories, an eye care mobile application has also been launched, which includes six routine eye examinations and electronic medical record management. Our goal is to become a global leader in the ophthalmic care industry through smartphone platforms, and we are currently developing affordable and easy-to-use eye examination equipment to effectively prevent the incidence of blindness. Fang Shengquan said, 'We believe that this groundbreaking eye examination kit will change two old game rules. Firstly, it will significantly reduce costs. Secondly, medical staff can use smartphones to freely move medical equipment and effectively complete remote medical treatment and consultations. This has a great impact in developing countries, where the high blindness rate is mainly due to the lack of professional eye diagnostic equipment.
