An ophthalmic device for imaging an eye, wherein a scanning element scans a first portion of light beam across a region of an eye via a light guiding component and a second portion of the light beam is reflected back by the light guiding component. The ophthalmic device further comprises: a light detector to detect light reflected from eye and guided to the light detector by the light guiding component; and a dynamic amplitude mask which receives the light reflected from the eye and the light reflected back by the light guiding component, and has an unmasked portion to allow light reflected from the eye to reach the light detector, and a masked portion whose spatial distribution varies with a scan angle such that the masked portion prevents light reflected back by the light guiding component from reaching the light detector during the scan.
