Apparatus and method for self-administration of optical scanning of a person's eye optical system

An optical scanning system for use in a system for obtaining data of the optical system of a person,

• comprising:
• an eyepiece customized to contact and tightly fit in a person's eye socket, wherein the eyepiece abuts the person's eye socket and an imaging system and sets the correct refraction and optical path length between the person's eye and imaging system so that the retina is at the correct distance from the imaging system for the person, and having a lens pocket having a refractive lens manufactured to be customized to match the person's eye refraction characteristics;
• and
• a grid for a person to input any changes in vision.

A system for obtaining data of the optical system of a person, comprising:

• an eyepiece customized to contact and tightly fit in a person's eye socket and having a lens pocket for receiving a refractive lens customized for the person's eye refraction characteristics;
• a condensing system for receiving light from the eyepiece;
• a scanning module optically connected to the condensing system and having a mirror tiltable in two directions for obtaining optical scanning data from the person's optical system;
• and
• an imaging system optically connected to the scanning module for obtaining and storing the optical scanning data, wherein the eyepiece, condensing system and scanning module are arranged to provide an optical path for delivering a light beam to the person's eye, and receive reflected light to be directed to the scanning module.
