• Ask someone to take pictures of your eye using a digital camera or cell phone camera while holding a magnifying lens in front of your eye.
• The magnifying lens should not be stronger than 10x magnification to avoid distorting the eye. You will most likely use the magnifying glass we send you as seen in the picture below.

Taking the Photo:

• The person taking the picture should bring the camera flush against the magnifying lens.
• If necessary, zoom in to capture a clear and detailed image of the right eye.
