  • Patent number: 10368742
    Abstract: An ophthalmic system and method for imaging an eye includes an eye guard, an objective lens, such that light passes through the objective lens along an illumination path that passes through the eye guard, a light source positioned to emit imaging light along the illumination path, a camera assembly positioned to receive emitted light that is emitted from a back surface of the eye. The light source and the objective lens are positioned such that, when the eye guard is positioned proximate the eye of the patient, the imaging light passes through a first portion of a pupil opening in the eye, and the emitted light passes through a second portion of the pupil opening of the eye that is different from the first portion, and wherein the camera assembly captures an image of the eye using the emitted light.

  • Publication number: 20170296051
    Abstract: An ophthalmic system may be configured to image an eye of a patient. The system may include a housing, a lens, and a control assembly. The housing may extend along a central axis and between a proximal portion and a distal portion. The lens with a lens axis may be disposed in the distal portion of the housing. The control assembly may be disposed in the proximal portion of the housing. The control assembly may include and operatively connect a camera assembly having a camera axis and a lighting assembly. The lighting assembly may include a non-visible light source configured to focus the camera assembly and a visible light source configured to capture an image of the eye. The lens axis and the camera axis may be along the central axis of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20160066783
    Abstract: A system may comprise an ophthalmoscope having a proximal end, a distal end, and a body portion with a light receptacle. The system may include a control assembly having a first side with a coupler configured to engage the proximal end of the ophthalmoscope and an extension arm configured to engage the body portion of the ophthalmoscope. The control assembly may further include a second side configured to engage a computing device having a camera and a camera flash. The control assembly may further include a sensor configured to detect light from the camera flash, a light source configured to be received in at least a portion of the light receptacle, and a circuit board configured to operatively connect the sensor and the light source. The circuit board is configured to trigger the light source in response to the camera flash.
