Abstract
An OCT appliance (optical coherence tomography appliance) comprises an OCT module and a camera for observing the fundus of an eye. By recognizing characteristic features (biometric features), the means defining the region observed by the OCT module, in particular the scanner of the OCT module, is adjusted so that a predefined region of interest is imaged by the OCT module. In preferred embodiments, the apparatus is apt to be operated by a patient himself, and the data are transferred to a clinical server so that a more frequent, hence closer observation of the eyes of the patient is possible.
