Contact lenses fitting teaching: learning improvement with monitor visualization of webcam video recordings
Ana Gargallo, Justo Arines · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2014
We have adapted low cost webcams to the slit lamps objectives with the aim of improving contact lens fitting practice. With this solution we obtain good quality pictures and videos, we also recorded videos of eye examination, evaluation routines of contact lens fitting, and the final practice exam of our students. In addition, the video system increases the interactions between students because they could see what their colleagues are doing and take conscious of their mistakes, helping and correcting each others. We think that the proposed system is a low cost solution for supporting the training in contact lens fitting practice.
