Apparatus and system for cleaning lens of eye-imaging device and related methods thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an apparatus that can be attached to a tip portion of an eye-imaging device including the lens. The apparatus includes an annular base having an orifice having a first end and a second end. A contact member may be disposed adjacent the second end of the annular base. The contact member may include a contact surface having a geometry that is configured to fit on a tip of an eye-imaging device. For example, the contact surface may include a tapered region that matches the profile of a tip of an eye-imaging device. The tapered region may provide a frictional fit with a tip of the eye-imaging device such that the contact surface is flush with the surface of the tip. A solution can be deposited in the apparatus and onto a lens surface after it is attached to the tip of the eye-imaging device. In this way, the apparatus prevents any solution from leaking to other areas of the eye-imaging device to clean the lens surface of the eye-imaging device.
