Abstract

Retina as a subspeciality has always been on the forefront of innovation in ophthalmology, be it new imaging techniques or simply improving modalities that are already available. This chapter gives an overview of the mobile applications that can easily improve your everyday practice. From applications that simulate view from a direct ophthalmoscope to easily useable Amsler grids, this chapter covers applications that can cater the needs of someone just starting out posterior segment examination to veterans that need that little something to take their practice to the next level.
