PurposeTo report the application of a digital camera for ophthalmic photography in routine clinical use.MethodsA digital camera (Nikon Coolpix 995) was used both for external macrophotography of the eye and ocular adnexa, and slitlamp photography of the anterior segment of the eye.ResultsWe were able to take external macrophotographs under high magnification of the eye and ocular adnexa. Slitlamp photography could be performed under diffuse, slit beam, and retroillumination. The structures of the angle, the optic disc and surrounding retina could be photographed using appropriate lenses. The attachment to the operating microscope allowed intraoperative photography. It could also be attached to the laboratory microscope to capture images of various histopathology and microbiology slides.ConclusionsA digital camera is a versatile instrument for ophthalmic photography. It is easy to use in routine clinical practice and provides good quality photographs.
