An ophthalmic device including an illumination module which scans light across a region of the retina of an eye when the pupil is disposed at a focal point of the illumination module. The ophthalmic device further comprises components (2, 3-1, 4-1) for: aligning the pupil with the focal point; monitoring a position of the pupil relative to the focal point and maintaining the alignment based on the monitored position; aligning a scan location of the illumination module on the retina to a target scan location while the alignment of the pupil with the focal point is being maintained, wherein the illumination module performs a scan at the target scan location. The ophthalmic device further maintains the scan location at the target scan location while the alignment of the pupil with the focal point is being maintained, using scan location correction information based on retinal feature information.
