Abstract
An apparatus and method for correcting cross scan error in a two coordinate optical scanning system where the two scanners are spaced apart in the optical system. An anamorphic lens is positioned between the scanner which is introducing the cross scan error and the second scanner, with the lens being formed and positioned so that the focal length on the coordinate of scan from the first scanner is different from its focal length on the coordinate of scan orthogonal to it. An object lens is placed between the second scanner and the object being scanned. This lens in an ophtalmoscope is the lens of the eye.
