Abstract:
1. A system for imaging of the central and peripheral retina, comprising: one of a concave mirror and an elliptical mirror having an axis extending through a central portion thereof, and said one of a concave mirror and an elliptical mirror being configured to repeatedly oscillate between a first position and a second position around the axis, so as to record a field of up to 200 degrees of a portion of the central and peripheral retina; and a scanner configured to use a spectral domain optical coherence tomography system to obtain a non-contact wide angle optical coherence tomography-image of the portion of the central and peripheral retina, wherein the one of a concave mirror and an elliptical mirror is configured to oscillate so as to move the focal point of the one of a concave mirror and an elliptical mirror from one side of a pupil to another side, thereby permitting scanning light inside the eye to cover a predetermined peripheral field, thus creating a two dimensional or three dimensional image of the field.
