Abstract
Imaging various regions of the eye is important for both clinical diagnostic and treatment purposes as well as for scientific research. Diagnosis of a number of clinical conditions relies on imaging of the various tissues of the eye. The subject technology describes a method and apparatus for imaging the eye using off-center illumination in a manner that avoids light striking the anterior surfaces of the eye at or near a center of the optical axis, thereby reducing reflections traveling back along an imaging light path, while also providing substantially uniform illumination of a region of interest of the fundus.
