    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide improved techniques for imaging a subject's retina fundus. Some aspects relate to an imaging apparatus that may be substantially binocular shaped and/or may house multiple imaging devices configured to provide multiple corresponding modes of imaging the subject's retina fundus. Some aspects relate to techniques for imaging a subject's eye using white light, fluorescence, infrared (IR), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and/or other imaging modalities that may be employed by a single imaging apparatus. Some aspects relate to improvements in white light, fluorescence, IR, OCT, and/or other imaging technologies that may be employed alone or in combination with other techniques. Some aspects relate to multi-modal imaging techniques that enable determination of a subject's health status. Imaging apparatuses and techniques described herein provide medical grade retina fundus images and may be produced or conducted at low cost, thus increasing access to medical grade imaging.

    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for imaging and/or measuring a subject's eye, including the subject's retina fundus. In some embodiments, one or more processors may be used to generate a graph from an image and/or measurement (e.g., an optical coherence tomography image and/or measurement), which can be useful for locating features in the image and/or measurement. For example, the image and/or measurement can include a subject's retina fundus and the features may include one or more layers and/or boundaries between layers of the subject's retina fundus in the image and/or measurement.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide improved techniques to assist imaging and/or measuring a subject's eye that are suitable for use in an imaging and/or measuring apparatus operated by the subject, even in the absence of a clinician or technician, thereby improving access to medical grade imaging and/or measurement. Some aspects relate to techniques for receiving user input and capturing a medical grade image and/or measurement of a subject's eye responsive to receiving the user input. Some aspects relate to techniques for providing visual feedback to a user of an imaging and/or measuring apparatus indicating a location of a subject's eye in a field of view of the imaging and/or measuring apparatus. Some aspects relate to techniques for selectively illuminating a first portion of a subject's eye with illumination light and capturing an image of the first portion of the subject's eye.
