Abstract:
Process for examining an eye section of an eye by exposing the section to light with a point light source and measuring backscattered light, the point light source being imaged in a plane, deflected, and directed for scanning the eye section to be examined, the light reflected on the eye section to be examined being sensed and being evaluated by coherence tomography, comprising the steps of:imaging the point light source together with a slit of a slit lamp in conjugated planes and subsequently superimposing the imaged light source and slit of the slit lamp into a joint image or jointly imaging them in a plane,directing joint imaging of the slit and the point light source by way of a slit imaging lens system to the eye section to be examined which is guided during scanning, andreturning reflected light by way of the same beam path to the point light source for the coherence tomography.
