Purpose: Widefield imaging can detect signs of retinal pathology extending beyond the posterior pole and is currently moving to the forefront of posterior segment imaging. We report a novel, smartphone-based, telemedicine-enabled, mydriatic, widefield retinal imaging device with autofocus and autocapture capabilities to be used by non-specialist operators.
Methods: The Remidio Vistaro uses an annular illumination design without cross-polarizers to eliminate Purkinje reflexes.
