Patent ID: 7648242

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a housing; and a system of optical components disposed in the housing capable of operating in a line scanning laser opthalmoscope (LSLO) mode and an optical coherence tomography (OCT) mode, the system of optical components including: a first source to provide a first beam of light for the OCT mode; a second source to provide a second beam of light for the LSLO mode; and a first optic that: in the OCT mode, (i) scans, using a first surface of the first optic, the first beam of light along a retina of an eye in a first dimension, and (ii) descans, using the first surface, a first light returning from the eye in the first dimension to a detection system; and in the LSLO mode, (i) passes, through a second surface of the first optic, the second beam of light to the retina of the eye.
