  • Patent number: 8596788
    Abstract: A device (20) and methods for concurrently taking multiple partially overlapping still or video images (60) of the iridocorneal angle (12) of an eye (1). Device (20) typically comprises a single chassis (100) with an outer surface (101) that approximately matches the curvature of the ocular surface (4). Multiple discrete optical imaging systems (200) are aimed through the cornea (3) and the anterior chamber (17), producing non-coplanar optical paths (21) directed towards corresponding partially overlapping zones (11) of the iridocorneal angle (12). Each system (200) may comprise one or more optical lenses (210, 211), with either fixed or variable position, and a corresponding digital sensor (220) or portion of a larger common shared digital sensor (221).

  • Publication number: 20130271728
    Abstract: A device (20) for use in the screening, documentation, and diagnosis of various diseases of the eye (1). Several images (60) are taken substantially simultaneously, with the images (60) preferably taken in a non-coplanar orientation relative to each other (60). The images (60) represent multiple different zones (11) of the retina (10) taken using different optical imaging pathways (200). Image (60) distortion is minimized, because the individual optical imaging pathways (200) need to account for significantly less differential curvature of the object plane than a wide-field optical pathway that attempts to capture both the central and peripheral retina (10) in a single image. A single composite wide field image (61) can be generated, by merging the overlapping fields of multiple, concurrently captured images (60) taken at different angles.
