Given that iPhones can already be used to perform skin exams, perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they’re now able to do eye exams, too. Researchers from Harvard Medical School’s Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary have devised a way of using the phones to perform fundus photography, which is the photographing of the retina. While the iPhone just requires an app and a lens to perform the task, a complete fundus camera can cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
