They recently won second place at the Eyecelerator competition held prior to this month’s American Academy of Ophthalmology conference in Chicago, receiving a $15,000 prize—the first such prize awarded to residents—for their development of a smartphone device designed to take fundus images. This innovative tool aims to advance ophthalmic imaging accessibility.
