Light management for a vision screening device

A system comprising:

• an emitter having:
• a support;
• one or more LEDs arranged in an array on the support;
• and
• a reflector having an output side and a connection side where the reflector is mounted to the support, the reflector partially surrounding the one or more LEDs and configured to reflect emitted light from the one or more LEDs in a columnar direction;
• a polarizer coupled to the reflector at the output side;
• a beam splitter positioned downstream of the polarizer such that light from the reflector passes through the beam splitter along an incident axis and reflected light received at the beam splitter is directed at an angle relative to the incident axis;
• and
• an imaging system configured to receive the reflected light from the beam splitter and produce image data.
