The plurality of secondary illumination arrays is disposed along secondary axes extending from the central aperture outside of the ring of inner light sources. The secondary illumination arrays each includes a plurality of secondary light sources. The secondary axes of the secondary illumination arrays are disposed angularly between adjacent ones of the primary illumination arrays.

    Abstract: A retinal imaging system includes an image sensor for acquiring a retinal image and a dynamic illuminator for illuminating a retina to acquire the retinal image. The dynamic illuminator includes a center baffle along with first and second illumination arrays. The center baffle extends from and surrounds an aperture through which an image path for the retinal image passes before reaching the image sensor. The first illumination array extends out from first opposing sides of the aperture along a first linear axis. The second illumination array extends out from second opposing sides of the aperture along a second linear axis that is substantially orthogonal to the first linear axis.

    Abstract: A technique for retinal images includes configuring a dynamic illuminator to illuminate the retina with an illumination pattern. An image frame of the retina is captured while illuminated with the illumination pattern. The configuring and the capturing are iterated to sequentially reconfigure the dynamic illuminator to illuminate the retina with a plurality of different illumination patterns and to capture a plurality of image frames each illuminated with one of the different illumination patterns. The image frames are combined into a composite retinal image.

    Abstract: Eye cups and retinal imaging systems including an eye cup are described. In an embodiment, the eye cup is shaped to couple with an eyepiece lens assembly. In an embodiment, the eye cup includes a concave socket shaped to couple to a periorbital region of an eye, the concave socket defining a viewing aperture positioned to align with a pupil of the eye along a longitudinal axis of the viewing aperture when the concave socket is coupled to the periorbital region; and a flange extending from the concave socket away from the longitudinal axis and shaped to couple with a lateral margin of the periorbital region when the concave socket is coupled to the periorbital region. In an embodiment, an outer edge of the flange extends farther from the longitudinal axis than an outer edge of portion of the concave socket.

    Abstract: A retinal imaging system includes an eyepiece lens assembly, an image sensor, a dynamic fixation target viewable through the eyepiece lens assembly, and a controller coupled to the image sensor and the dynamic fixation target. The controller includes logic that causes the retinal imaging system to perform operations including: acquiring a first image of the eye, analyzing the first image to determine whether a lateral misalignment between the eye and the eyepiece lens assembly is greater than a threshold misalignment, in response to determining the lateral misalignment is greater than the threshold misalignment, adjusting a visual position of the dynamic fixation target to encourage the eye to rotate in a direction that compensates for the lateral misalignment, and acquiring the retinal image of the eye while the eye is encouraged to rotate towards the direction that compensates for the lateral misalignment.

    Abstract: A method of imaging an interior of an eye includes illuminating the interior of the eye with one or more beams of light from a light source, and said illuminating is configured to trigger a change to a pupil of the eye. An image sensor captures a sequence of images of light reflected by the interior of the eye during an expected timeframe when a width of the pupil is changing in response to said illuminating. A processing apparatus combines images in the sequence of images to form a composite image having a larger depth of field than a depth of field of each of the images in the sequence of images. The depth of field for each of the images corresponds to the width of the pupil when each of the images is captured.

    Abstract: Introduced here are retinal cameras having optical stops whose size and/or position can be modified to increase the size of the space in which an eye can move while being imaged. In some embodiments, an optical stop is mechanically moved to recover retinal image quality as the subject shifts their eye. In some embodiments, an optical stop is digitally created using a pixelated liquid crystal display (LCD) layer having multiple pixels that are individually controllably. In some embodiments, multiple non-pixelated LCD layers are connected to one another to form a variable transmission stack, and each LCD layer within the variable transmission stack may be offset from the other LCD layers. In such embodiments, the optical stop can be moved by changing which LCD layer is active at a given point in time.
