Eye imaging apparatus

An eye imaging apparatus comprising:

• a lighting device;
• a half mirror;
• an imaging device;
• and
• a first polarizer,
• wherein the lighting device includes a fundus illuminator and a cornea illuminator,
• wherein the imaging device includes a first camera having a first objective lens,
• wherein the first polarizer is disposed between the half mirror and the first camera,
• wherein the fundus illuminator irradiates the half mirror with first light polarized in a direction orthogonal to a transmission axis of the first polarizer,
• wherein the half mirror receives the first light and outputs resulting light to an eye, a travel direction of the resulting light being in alignment with an optical axis of the first objective lens,
• wherein the cornea illuminator emits light at a timing different from a timing at which the fundus illuminator emits the first light, and
• wherein second light based on the light emitted by the cornea illuminator irradiates the eye from a direction different from a direction parallel with the optical axis of the first objective lens.
