Patent ID: 8567949

Claim:
An ophthalmologic device for capturing and/or measuring features of an anterior chamber of an eye of a patient, comprising: a first light projection system adapted to illuminate a cross-section of the anterior chamber under examination with an illumination light beam along a relevant optical axis; a capturing system adapted to observe an image of the cross-section of the anterior chamber illuminated by said first light projection system in a correct capturing position; a second light projection system adapted to generate a fixation light beam determining a fixation point for the eye of the patient as a reference for said correct capturing position; and detection and control means comprising: a mobile optical member, disposed along only a portion of said illumination light beam, adapted to interfere at least with said illumination beam and, with its motion, to displace the beam; sensor means adapted to detect a movement of the eye with respect to said correct positioning; and a control unit adapted to control, as a response to the detection by said sensor means, the operation of said mobile optical member to displace said beam towards said correct capturing position, wherein the mobile optical member is a transparent, substantially planar lamina, pivotally supported and driven by actuator means controlled by a control unit.
