1. A method for analyzing a retinal image of a retina of an eye of a patient for retinal disease, comprising:
conforming, by a posterior interface surface of a contact portion of a patient interface, to an anterior eye surface of the eye;
receiving, by a sleeve of the patient interface, a camera stem of a camera apparatus, the sleeve disposed outwardly from an anterior interface surface of the contact portion;
directing, by the sleeve, light from the camera stem towards an interior of the eye;
directing, by the sleeve, light reflected from the interior of the eye towards the camera apparatus;
generating, by the camera apparatus, image data for the retinal image in response to detecting the reflected light;
outputting, by a communication interface of the camera apparatus, the image data to a computer;
displaying, at the computer, a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a plurality of options, each option representing an action that facilitates analysis of the retinal image, the retinal image comprising one or more frames;
displaying, at the computer, the retinal image according to the image data;
receiving, at the computer, a selection of an option to facilitate analysis of the retinal image; and
performing, by the computer, the action represented by the option in response to the selection to facilitate analysis of the retinal image.
