Slit lamp system and method of synchronizing image acquisition using electronic devices thereof

A method of synchronizing image acquisition using a first electronic device and a second electronic device, the first electronic device having a first camera, the second electronic device having a second camera, the method comprising:

• establishing a communication link between the first electronic device and the second electronic device;
• determining a maximal latency value Δtmax of the communication link, the maximal latency value Δtmax indicative of a maximal time delay required for a test signal to be communicated between the first electronic device and the second electronic device;
• upon receiving an image acquisition instruction at the first electronic device,
• the first electronic device instructing the first camera to acquire a first image at a given moment in time t1 subsequent to said receiving the image acquisition instruction by said maximal latency value Δtmax;
• and
• the first electronic device transmitting an instruction signal to the second electronic device via the communication link, the instruction signal instructing the second camera to acquire a second image at the given moment in time t1, resulting in the first image and the second image being acquired simultaneously.
