EyePhone: How one doctor is using the iPhone 13 Pro's macro capabilities to remotely assess patients

One of the new camera features in Apple’s new iPhone 13 Pro lineup is a macro photography mode, made possible by the devices’ ultrawide camera module. While this new macro capability can be used for your more conventional macro photography, one ophthalmologist has discovered the feature can also be used for the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders.

In a pair of posts on his LinkedIn profile, first discovered by 9to5Mac, ophthalmologist Tommy Korn, MD shares how he’s been using the new macro capabilities of the new iPhone 13 Pro models in conjunction with virtual appointments to keep up with his patients’ eye health from afar by having them capture macro photographs of their own eyes and send them to his team for analysis. These ‘high quality macro eye photos,’ Dr. Korn says, allow him and his team to ‘rapidly identify eye emergencies.’

In the above images, used with permission from Dr. Korn, we see a patient using the macro capabilities of their iPhone 13 Pro to capture a close-up of their eye, which recently underwent a cornea transplant. By capturing these images and sending them to Dr. Korn, both the patient and Dr. Korn can ensure the surgery is healing as it should without needing to go into the office.

Close-up photographs of a patient's eye are captured to ensure their eye is recovering post-surgery for a cornea transplant.

Even before Apple’s new iPhone 13 Pro, Dr. Korn has been using iPhones to help improve eye care, particularly in more senior patients. Previously, Dr. Korn and his team used an iPhone adapted to a Nikkor 105mm Macro to get a closer look at patients’ eyes. He then built a rig that used an iPhone mounted onto a slit lamp to both view and capture close-up shots of a patient’s eye.

Dr. Korn, who's a 'long[time] fan of DPReview,' tells us the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max will only further improve his efforts to improve telehealth by allowing patients to capture close-up photos of their own eyes to send in, which not only saves time and resources, but ensures care for those who would otherwise be unable to make it into an eye clinic.

Meet the 500px Global Photography Awards Technical Category Winner

The 2022 500px Global Photography Awards serves creatives working with photography and provides them a chance to showcase their skill and be rewarded for it. The second edition of the competition consisted of six categories: Technical, Storytelling, Commercial Content, Documentary, Fine Art, and Landscape. Today on the blog we’re talking with the winner of the Technical category, Mary Bel, as she walks us through the BTS of her winning image and more. Hi Mary Bel, please introduce yourself. I am pretty much a self-taught photographer from Orlando, Florida. Although I learned photography in college, I learned the basics on 35mm film, and developed my own negatives and prints in a darkroom. Now, that technique is more for enthusiasts and purists. So, when the world evolved to digital photography, it took me a while to come around, but I made the adjustment. As a single mother of two, I turned to photography as a way to find solace, peace, and as therapy. At that time, I used myself

Norway passes law requiring influencers to label retouched photos on social media

Legislators in Norway's Parliament have passed a new law , by a 72-15 vote, that will require content creators to disclose when they have retouched or added a filter to a photo. Yahoo News reports that the law will apply to influencers and advertisers alike, to address 'body pressure in society.' After garnering overwhelming support in parliament, the law will go into effect when directed by Harald V, the current King of Norway. Youth advocacy groups and Norway's Ministry of Children and Family Affairs have called for stricter measures on image editing for years, amid increasing concerns surrounding body image, mental health and low self-esteem, particularly among Norway's youths. In the legal proposal, it's stated that approximately 70,000 children and young people have mental health issues requiring treatment. In a nation of just under 5.4 million, that's a significant number of people. The proposal says that more than half of 10th-grade girls
