First Claim
Patent Images
1. An intraocular imaging method comprising:
- receiving image data representing image information of an ocular system at a plurality of depth ranges, wherein at least two of the depth ranges overlap; and
generating a composite image for the plurality of depth ranges;
wherein generating a composite image comprises forming from the image data a single image for the overlapping portion of the depth ranges.

Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatuses for an intraocular imaging system are disclosed comprising an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. The OCT system has an imaging range that may enable substantial portions of an eye or even a whole eye to be imaged. The OCT system may be coupled to an operation microscope, such that, for example, a surgeon can visualize ocular structures like the human crystalline lens and other ocular structures such as the cornea and/or vitreous while surgical instruments are in the field of view.
