We already have machinery that enable ophthalmologists to enjoy a closer view of the inside and outside of the human eye . The problem is that they are imposing, heavy, expensive and rarely available to third world countries. So researchers at Stanford University have created an accessory for iPhone .

The idea is simple, that everyone can, anywhere, perform eye examinations. All this is due to Dr. Robert Chang and Myung resident named David. The eyeGO was prototyped using components that are readily available online, so that the final version is the cheapest possible.
Now completed, it will simply be scanned to be reproduced for that desired, using 3D printers. It affixes to the camera and allows the smartphone to take pictures of the inside and outside of the eye by light.
The accessory should be marketed at less than 90 dollars. All that is needed is a smartphone, and someone with enough experience to analyze the images. Fortunately, with a cellular connection, it is possible to send these pictures to any doctor in the world, they can not be there in person to diagnose a patient.
True, the adapter is completely dependent on a smartphone, are pointing only that they are much more pervasive than professional equipment ophthalmologists.
