Eye Picture Instructions

If you find it easier to upload pictures from your mobile device, you can use that device to fill out the form.

The ideal photo of your eye is taken by a family member or friend using a smartphone’s rear-facing camera with your eye centered on the screen. The lens should be as close as possible to the eye without losing focus of the image. This is typically 10-15cm away from your face. Be sure to force the flash ON.

Alternatively, if you are alone, you can take a “selfie” picture using the front-facing camera with flash forced ON.  Hold the camera approximately 10-15cm away from your eye when taking the photo.

Please provide pictures of both eyes. Take a picture of one eye at a time with your eye wide open, lift your eyebrows and forehead muscles like the first sample picture below.

It is helpful if you can also take one picture of each eye with your finger and/or thumb holding your eyelids open like the second sample picture below.
