Why is it important?
The choice of photographic equipment for use in oculoplastic photography is very specific. A broad understanding of the types of camera, flash, and lenses will help one choose the correct system for this purpose.
Perspectives
Clinical photographs are useful for clinical records, research, audit, education, and in supporting medico-legal cases. Standardized clinical photographs are often taken by medical photographers using professional grade photographic equipment in dedicated studios. However, it is possible for clinicians to obtain high quality clinical photographs using simpler photographic equipment outside a studio. There are many benefits if a clinician takes patient photographs.
