Eye imaging apparatus and systems

Abstract

Various embodiments of an eye imaging apparatus are disclosed. In some embodiments, the eye imaging apparatus may comprise a light source, an image sensor, a hand-held computing device, and an adaptation module. The adaptation module comprises a microcontroller and a signal processing unit configured to adapt the hand-held computing device to control the light source and the image sensor. In some embodiments, the imaging apparatus may comprise an exterior imaging module to image an anterior segment of the eye and/or a front imaging module to image a posterior segment of the eye. The eye imaging apparatus may be used in an eye imaging medical system. The images of the eye may be captured by the eye imaging apparatus, transferred to an image computing module, stored in an image storage module, and displayed in an image review module.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A disposable package for single use, said to be sterilized during the manufacturing process and kept sterilized, said packing of sufficient optical index matching gel to be applied to the cornea of an eye, and two alcohol patches to disinfect the area of the imaging apparatus in contact with the eye cornea before and after imaging session, said into separated pockets.
