Abstract: An improved workflow for acquiring image data of the eye of a patient is described. The workflow can be used with any ophthalmic diagnostic devices including an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) device. This workflow is referred herein as a report driven workflow. Under the report driven workflow, a plurality of report options are presented to the device operator. These report options are selectable to generate a report summarizing analysis relating to a specific pathology or region of the eye. A desired report option is selected by the device operator. Based on the selected report option, one or more scan types are automatically selected by the device software. Image data corresponding to the one or more scan types are captured using the ophthalmic diagnostic device. An analysis for the selected desired report option is generated based on the captured image data and is then presented to the device operator.
