Eye image and video capture system and associated methods

An eye image and video capture system comprising a computing system, an optics controller, an optics assembly having at least one adjustable light control component, a camera, and a flash assembly, said computing system having a system controller having a series of instructions that cause the system to:

• (a) provide at least one user interface from which a user may select one from a list of a plurality of distinct anatomical regions of an eye to image, the list comprising at least two of eyelid, cornea, conjunctiva, anterior chamber, iris, lens, posterior chamber, and optic nerve, each of said plurality of regions having at least one correlated preset value for the light control components of the optics assembly, each of said plurality of regions having at least one correlated preset value for controlling the camera;
• (b) provide at least one user interface from which a user may select to cause the camera to selectively capture at least one image or capture at least one video;
• (c) receive a user selection of one of said plurality of regions of an eye to image from the list of such regions;
• (d) receive a user selection of either causing the camera to capture at least one image or causing the camera to capture at least one video;
• (e) transmit at least one optics controller command for adjusting the at least one adjustable light control component of the optics assembly according to the at least one preset value correlated with said user selection of one of said plurality of regions of an eye to image;
• (f) transmit at least one camera controller command for controlling the camera according to the at least one preset value correlated with said user selection of one of said plurality of regions of an eye to image;
• and
• (g) transmit at least one camera actuating command for controlling the camera according to said user selection of one of said causing the camera to capture at least one image or causing the camera to capture at least one video.
