You don't need to attach a camera to the slit lamp. You can use this method:

Check out the SD890: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/c...ategoryid=145&modelid=16719#ModelTechSpecsAct
It's got a 5x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom.
Am I correct in thinking that would make for even better eye photos?

Yes! I wrote the digital photography article in 2005 when the camera I used was a good camera. The most recent models in the Powershot series are excellent for slit lamp photography. I use a SD790 now.
It is a great article and I refer to it often to take pictuers. Your article inspired me to buy a sony cybershot W120 (tiny) recently to carry around in my white coat pocket (my *real* camera weighs 2.5lbs) and I take pictuers and videos of everything! Thanks! 👍

If full face, yes.
If full face and you will block out identity, then I don't. I just get a verbal consent.
If only eye, then no.
Consent is needed when the patient can be identified from the photo if used for publication.
Good to know. Do you have a reference for this info? Thanks!
