An ophthalmic camera () comprising a camera () having a lens () aligned with a second lens () and at least one illumination means (). The illumination means () is capable of movement relative to the camera lens () so that the beam of light emitted by the illumination means () is able to be focused by the second lens () through the pupil onto the fundus. In another embodiment, the ophthalmic camera comprises a camera (), an illumination means () and a beamsplitter (). The camera () and the beamsplitter () from an alignment axis X and the illumination means () together with the beam splitter () form an illumination axis Y perpendicular to the alignment axis X. The illumination means () is capable of movement relative to the illumination axis Y so that the beam of light reflected by the beamsplitter () towards the pupil () is substantially the same size as the pupil () to maximize the amount of light entering the pupil without impinging upon the iris to avoid contracting of the pupil ().

Opthalmic camera and opthalmic camera adaptor

Provided is an ophthalmic camera comprising: a camera having a camera lens; at least one illumination means; and an ophthalmic lens. The centres of the ophthalmic lens and camera lens are aligned to form an alignment axis. The at least one illumination means is capable of linear movement along a radial axis of the camera lens and pivotal movement about the radial plane incorporating radial axis and alignment axis. In such a manner, the circle of light emitted by the at least one illumination means is constantly directed to the centre of the ophthalmic lens.
