Aperture-optional head-mounted low-light fundus imaging device

Abstract

An aperture-optional head-mounted low-light fundus camera is provided. A fundus camera is configured to enclose a patient's eyes, orient imaging paths of image sensors and lenses towards the patient's eyes without requiring integral aperture stops within the enclosure, and provide non-pupillary low-light illumination for fundus imaging within the enclosure. The aperture-optional head-mounted low-light fundus camera can be worn by a patient during use without limiting the patient's movement or posture, alleviating awkwardness and discomfort caused to the patient by conventional fundus cameras. The aperture-optional head-mounted low-light fundus camera further improves image capture quality over conventional fundus cameras, by removing the need to use dexterity to align with eye pupil, minimizing image blur from errant movement, and eliminating visual artifacts from glares, haloes, reflections, and the like.
