Patent ID: 7434933

Claim:
A device for determining geometric measurement values of an eye, comprising: a light projector for projection of a beam of rays through a section of the eye, imaging means for capturing at the same time a first cross-sectional image of at least a partial region of the section illuminated by the light projector, at a first observation angle, from a first position outside the beam of rays, and for capturing a second cross-sectional image of the partial region at a second observation angle, from a second position outside the beam of rays, image processing means configured to identify eye structures from the first cross-sectional image comprising at least a partial region of a cross-section of the eye illuminated by the light projector and captured at the first observation angle, to identify eye structures from the second cross-sectional image comprising at least a partial region of a cross-section of the eye illuminated by the light projector and captured at the second observation angle, to measure a first distance between the eye structures identified from the first cross-sectional image and to measure a second distance between the eye structures identified from the second cross-sectional image, and processing means to calculate at least one of said geometric measurement values from the first distance, measured in the first cross-sectional image, and the second distance, measured in the second cross-sectional image.
