An apparatus for detecting ophthalmic diseases such as an inflammation in a patient's eye which includes means for focussing a laser beam at a selected spot(P) in the eye (11). The 1ight scattered from the eye is photoelectrically detected and converted into an electrical signal which is subsequently used to determine the protein concentration essential to ophthalmic disease detection in the patient's eye. The laser beam is so deflected that it scans an area(S1) in the patient's eye except for a plane(S) which is perpendicular to the scanning direction and includes the corneal vertex of the patient's eye(11). |
