It’s a handheld device and it’s very easy to handle, which is essential for pediatric use. This device has many applications, as it can be used both for anterior segment and fundus imaging. It is a very good tool for diagnosis and follow-up of ophthalmic pathologies in children such as congenital cataract and congenital glaucoma. The camera has good image resolution and the usage of the device is easily learned. For all these reasons I feel that the Smartscope is a very suitable device for pediatric ophthalmology.
