Smartphones are equipped with robust cameras that can capture exceptional photographs. By employing the right techniques, you can utilize your phone to capture high-quality images of your eyes.
Photo quality and location of flash is very important for assessment of the pupils.
Here are some refined best practices for obtaining clear images of your eyes:
- Clean Camera Lens: Before capturing the image, make sure the lens of the camera, especially on the back of the phone, is clean to prevent any blurriness or distortion in the image.
- Optimal Distance: Hold the phone at a distance of approximately 4 inches away from your eye. This distance helps in achieving focus and clarity in the image.
- Proper Framing: Ensure that the entire eye, including the sclera (the white part of the eyeball), is centered and fills the frame of the image. Avoid any obstructions or shadows that may obscure the eye.
- Cropping Tool: Leave the cropping tool the same width. Instead, use your finger to adjust the eye into the middle of cropping tool. This method will ensure image is 4:3 ratio.
- Stable Positioning: Maintain a steady hand or utilize a stable surface to prevent any shaking or blurring of the image.
- Assistance: If you encounter difficulty in capturing the image on your own, consider asking a family member or friend for assistance. They can help in holding the phone at the optimal distance and ensuring proper framing of the eye.
By following these best practices, you can ensure that the captured images of your eyes are focused and detailed, facilitating accurate analysis and assessment. Images not meeting acceptable standards will be rejected.
