Abstract

A system for visualization of eye anatomy includes at least one camera having a view vector along a first axis when in a first position, a housing to which the camera is coupled, wherein the housing engages the head of a patient such that the camera is positioned adjacent a patient's eye, and an actuator that moves the camera from the first position to a second position with a view vector along a second axis that is offset from the first axis. A method of visualization of eye anatomy includes engaging a patient's head with a housing, positioning at least one camera coupled to the housing adjacent an eye, wherein the camera has a view vector along a first axis when in a first position, and moving the camera to a second position with a view vector along a second axis offset from the first axis.

Dependent claims

A system for visualization of eye anatomy, comprising:

at least one camera having a view vector along a first axis when in a first position, wherein the view vector extends along a viewing axis that defines a center of a field of view of said camera;
a housing to which the at least one camera is coupled, wherein said housing is configured to engage the head of a patient such that said at least one camera is positioned adjacent an eye of the patient;
and
an actuator that moves said at least one camera from the first position to a second position;
wherein, when said at least one camera is in the second position, the camera view vector is along a second axis that is offset from and parallel to the first axis;
wherein said at least one camera moves from the first position to the second position along a straight path extending from the first position to the second position and transverse to the camera view vector when moved from the first position to the second position;
and
wherein said at least one camera is pivotable such that the second axis is angularly offset from the first axis.
