==APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPHTHALMIC IMAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008740 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPHTHALMIC IMAGING

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a portable ophthalmic imaging device that can capture images of an eye. The device includes an imaging module with multiple optical elements, including a light sensor, which define a second optical axis. It also has an eye rest and multiple motors. These motors are used to move the imaging module and/or the eye rest to align the first and second optical axes, at least partially automatically, using a feedback control system.

* The device is portable and can be easily carried around.
* It includes an imaging module with optical elements and a light sensor.
* The device has an eye rest to provide comfort during imaging.
* Multiple motors are used to align the optical axes of the imaging module and the eye rest.
* The alignment process can be done partially or fully automatically.
* A feedback control system is used to ensure accurate alignment.

Potential Applications:
* Ophthalmology clinics and hospitals can use this device for routine eye examinations and imaging.
* It can be used for diagnosing and monitoring various eye conditions and diseases.
* The device can be used in remote or rural areas where access to specialized eye care is limited.
* It can be used for telemedicine purposes, allowing doctors to remotely examine and diagnose patients' eyes.

Problems Solved:
* The device solves the problem of aligning the optical axes of the imaging module and the eye rest, ensuring accurate and reliable imaging.
* It eliminates the need for manual alignment, reducing human error and saving time during examinations.
* The device provides a portable solution for ophthalmic imaging, making it more accessible and convenient for both patients and healthcare professionals.

Benefits:
* The device allows for efficient and accurate imaging of the eye, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of various eye conditions.
* It provides a more comfortable experience for patients with the inclusion of an eye rest.
* The automation of the alignment process reduces the burden on healthcare professionals and improves the overall efficiency of eye examinations.
* The portability of the device enables it to be used in various settings, including remote areas and telemedicine applications.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a portable ophthalmic imaging device suitable for imaging an eye having a first optical axis is provided. the imaging device comprises an imaging module comprising a plurality of optical elements including a light sensor which define a second optical axis; an eye rest; and a plurality of motors. the plurality of motors are arranged to move the imaging module and/or the eye rest to align the first and second optical axes at least partially automatically using a feedback control system.
