Abstract
A method and apparatus for imaging an eye of a patient and detecting any condition or disease in the eye. A near infrared light beam is emitted into the eye through the skin adjacent to the eye. A digital image is acquired from the light reflected from the eye. The image shows details that are not perceivable using current examination techniques. Images are acquired using more than one infrared wavelength using a multispectral illumination device for a more thorough analysis.
