PURPOSE: To evaluate the use of smartphone-based innovative tools named Anterior segment photography with intraocular lens (ASPI) and smartphone based intraocular lens microscope (IOLSCOPE) to demonstrate, treat, and diagnose the patients of ophthalmomyiasis caused by Oestrus ovis.
METHODS: A retrospective interventional case series of six patients infested with O. ovis presenting in a rural health center with symptoms of burning, itching, watering, and foreign body sensation diagnosed with ophthalmomyiasis. Diagnosis and treatment were performed using an innovative imaging technique that is, an optical system formed by intraocular lens (IOL) and smartphone.
RESULTS: The smartphone-based ASPI clearly detected and removed the moving larvae from the ocular surface, followed by microbiological diagnosis of O.ovis larvae with the help of an IOLSCOPE.
CONCLUSION: The importance of ASPI and IOLSCOPE for the management of ophthalmomyiasis in peripheral health centers devoid of slitlamp and microscopes has been emphasized here.
