DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECORDING AND DOCUMENTING THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES OF THE OCULAR FUNDUS

摘要

The invention relates to a solution for ocular diagnosis, wherein three-dimensional images of the human ocular fundus are evaluated. The inventive device comprises a plate (2), having plane-parallel faces and a known thickness, and being disposed in front of the front lens (1) of an ophthalmologic device, an adjusting mechanism, an image recording device (16) and a control unit (5). The plane-parallel plate may assume any angular position, the plane-parallel plate being displaced into the other optimum position -a_opt once an optimum angle of deflection a_opt has been determined and in both positions one image each of the ocular fundus is recorded by the image recording device and is saved in the memory of the control unit for evaluation and/or filing. The proposed solution is preferably meant for use in fundus cameras but can theoretically also be used for other ophthalmologic devices. The inventive solution is substantially easier to handle than comparable solutions of the state of the art and ensures that the individual conditions of every patient can be optimally taken into account and that the maximum possible three-dimensional effect is always available for diagnosis.
