Abstract
There is provided a system, apparatus and methods for enhancing the illumination of structures of the eye using predetermined scan patterns of an illuminating light beam. The systems, apparatus and methods further provide for obtaining enhanced single images of multiple structures of the eye.
Claims21
A system for creating a representation of a structure of an eye, the system comprising:
- a. a image device comprising an image plane;
- b. a memory containing data mapping a relationship between a plurality of points in a three dimensional volume of space and the image plane;
- wherein the three dimensional volume of space is positioned to contain a structure of the eye;
- c. an illumination source for illuminating the structure of the eye in the three dimensional volume of space;
- d. a processor;
- and,
- e. the image device, the memory and the processor configured to create an enhanced digital single representation of the structure of the eye.

A system for creating a representation of a structure of an eye, the system comprising:
- a. a calibrated image device, comprising an image plane;
- b. the calibrated image device configured to create an enhanced digital single representation of a plurality of structures of an eye;
- c. a memory containing data mapping a relationship between a plurality of points in a three dimensional volume of space and the image plane of the calibrated image device;
- wherein the three dimensional volume of space is positioned to contain the structures of the eye;
- d. an illumination source for illuminating the structures of the eye in the three dimensional volume of space to provide raw images of the structures of the eye;
- e. a processor;
- and,
- f. the calibrated image device, the memory and the processor configured to create an enhanced digital single representation of the structures of an eye from the raw images.
