Abstract:
Apparatus for illuminating the retina of an eye. The apparatus includes an illumination device and a lens system. The illumination device and the lens system combine to provide incident illumination from an apparent point source located within the lens system. The apparatus also includes an illumination transfer device. The illumination transfer device has two foci and the apparent point source of the lens system is provided at a first focus point of the illumination transfer device and an eye is accommodated at a second focus point of the illumination transfer device. The illumination transfer device transfers the incident illumination from the apparent point source into the eye to illuminate the retina.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of illuminating the a retina of an eye, the method comprising:\n providing an illumination device; providing a lens system; using the illumination device and the lens system in combination to provide incident illumination from an apparent point source located within the lens system; providing an illumination transfer device having a first focus point and a second focus point providing the apparent point source at the first focus point of the illumination transfer device and the eye at the second focus point of the illumination transfer device; using the illumination transfer device to transfer the incident illumination from the apparent point source into the eye to illuminate the retina and providing a light detector to detect light reflected from the retina to obtain images of the retina, wherein the incident illumination travels directly from the apparent point source to a point on the illumination transfer device and directly from the point on the illumination transfer device to the second focus point of the illumination transfer device at which the eye is accommodated; and providing one or more data processing devices for combining the obtained images of the retina.
