OPTICAL EQUIPMENT FOR OBSERVATION OF THE IRIDOCORNEAL ZONE, METHODS OF MEASURING AND/OR EVALUATING THE IRIDOCORNEAL ZONE

摘要

The present invention relates to an optical equipment suitable for observation of at least a portion of an iridocorneal annular zone of an eye (100) comprising: an illumination assembly (201A, 201B), comprising at least one illumination electric device, for illuminating at least a portion of an iridocorneal annular zone of an eye (100), and having a plurality of illumination optical paths (251A, 251B) for one or more illumination light beams going to a corresponding plurality of sub - portions of said portion, an image capturing assembly (202A, 202B), comprising at least one image capturing electric device, for capturing images of at least a portion of an iridocorneal annular zone of an eye (100), and having a plurality of imaging optical paths (252A, 252B) for one or more imaging light beams coming from a corresponding plurality of sub-portions of said portion, and a front optical assembly (203) having a front surface (204) designed to be located close to the front surface of an eye (100), a rear surface (205) designed to be located far from the front surface of an eye (100), and comprising a central portion (206) located between the front surface (204) and the rear surface (205) and a lateral portion (207) located around the central portion (206); the front optical assembly (203) is stationary; all the imaging optical paths (252A, 252B) pass through the central portion (206) between the front surface (204) and the rear surface (205); the lateral portion (207) comprises a reflecting element (208) surrounding the central portion (206) and designed to provide a reflection along all the imaging optical paths (252A, 252B).
