Sažetak
In recent years, digital photo equipment has developed a high quality of photographs which are more than useable for specialist analysis. The possibility of attaching the digital photo equipment on numerous ophthalmic instruments; like slit lamp biomicroscope, fundus camera, microscope etc. gives as a new dimension and quality of examination. Digitally stored images can be easily accessed on a computer and allow us to compare electronically patient's check-ups; to monitor his/her treatment plan; or can be transmitted anywhere for telemedicine purposes. Having the images immediately on screen allows us to explain the problem and treatment goals better to our patients, and we can provide the images quicker to the referring physicians. The digital system often allows us to treat the problem on the same day, so patients do not have to make another appointment. Another advantage is that new images can be superimposed on the old ones for the comparison, enabling in this way a better monitoring of patient's condition over certain time. Also, if photographic-quality prints are needed it is possible to print out. The instantaneous availability of digital information, low cost per photograph, the rapid transfer, easy storage and managing in computer database are major advantages of digital imaging over standard 35-mm film processing.
