Patent ID: 8136945

Claim:
An opthalmological measurement apparatus, comprising: a first measurement system, the first measurement system comprising: a first light projection system for projection of a first light beam through a cross-sectional part of an eye, and image detection means for detection and storage of a cross-sectional image of at least one subregion of the cross-sectional part which is illuminated by the first light projection system, from a first position outside the first light beam, which are arranged in a Scheimpflug configuration with respect to the first light beam; a second measurement system, the second measurement system comprising: a second light projection system for projection of a second light beam onto the eye, and a wavefront detector for determination and storage of a wavefront profile of the second light beam reflected by the eye; and processing means configured to determine at least one eye characteristic based on both the wavefront profile and the cross-sectional image.
