Patent ID: 8488851

Claim:
A system for evaluating ocular health of a patient by measuring light scattering in the eyeball or eye region, of the type comprising: means for projecting a single, unpolarized point light beam in the retina of an eye of said patient, arranged to cause said single unpolarized point light beam to fall unpolarized on the retina of said eye of said patient; recording means for recording an image of the plane of the retina resulting from the reflected light of said point light beam in the retina; analysis means for analyzing said image by evaluating the light content thereof in order to perform said measurement of light scattering in the eyeball or eye region; and means for correcting low-order aberrations of the eye, including astigmatism aberrations, prior to said recording so that said image of the plane of the retina is absent of the influence of said low-order aberrations.
