CA 2251248

A portable scanning laser ophthalmoscope with a wide field of view permits a clinician to directly view the interior of the patient's eye without the use of an external monitor or display. The portable scanning laser ophthalmoscope (10) includes a housing (12) that is sufficiently small to be carried and held by a clinician. The housing contains a source of laser light that is scanned by a scanning system (24) for generating a two-dimensional area of illumination. The housing also includes a battery for providing power to the scanning system. An optical system contained in the housing directs illumination from the scanning system to the patient's eye to illuminate the fundus and also intercepts light reflected by the patient's eye to generate a magnified image of the interior of the patient's eye. The optical system includes an eyepiece lens through which a clinician looks to directly view the magnified image of the interior of the patient's eye.

L'invention concerne un ophtalmoscope laser à balayage portatif offrant un large champ de vision de l'intérieur de l'oeil d'un patient sans passer par un moniteur ou un dispositif d'affichage extérieur. L'ophtalmoscope laser à balayage (10) portatif comprend un boîtier (12) de taille suffisamment réduite pour pouvoir être porté et tenu par un clinicien. Ledit boîtier contient une source de rayonnement laser qui est balayée par un dispositif de balayage (24 ), de façon à produire une zone d'éclairement bidimensionnelle. Le boîtier comprend en outre une batterie destinée à alimenter en énergie le dispositif de balayage. Un dispositif optique contenu dans le boîtier dirige l'éclairage du système de balayage vers l'oeil du patient pour en illuminer le fond et intercepter le lumière réfléchie par l'oeil du patient afin de produire une image agrandie de l'intérieur de l'oeil du patient. Le dispositif optique comprend une lentille oculaire à travers laquelle le clinicien regarde pour avoir une vue directe de l'image agrandie de l'intérieur de l'oeil du patient.
