Abstract
An ophthalmic apparatus includes an optical radiation source, which direct rays of optical radiation in a converging manner toward a reference plane, and causes the projections of the rays of optical radiation on a plane parallel to the normal of the reference plane to cross at a plane parallel to the reference plane and located deterministically relative to the reference plane, the crossing forming an alignment pattern of optical radiation on the reference plane. The ophthalmic apparatus, when directed toward the eye, captures images in a direction toward the reference plane including an area, where rays of optical radiation cross, and presents information on a pattern formed by the rays on a surface of a person or mammal whose eye the ophthalmic apparatus is directed toward. The alignment pattern when projected on an iris of the eye indicates that the iris of the eye is at the reference plane.
