Abstract
An imaging system for generating an image of a region of an eye, comprising: an ocular imaging device controlled by a control module to acquire, from a first viewpoint, a first ocular image of the region having an image artefact caused by obstruction from imaging of a part of the region by an object, and a second ocular image from a predetermined second viewpoint, which shows at least a portion of the part of the region that was obstructed from imaging during acquisition of the first ocular image; and an image data processing module for combining the first and second ocular images to generate an enhanced ocular image having an image artefact caused by obstruction from imaging by the object which is smaller in relation to the image artefact in the first or second ocular image, or no such image artefact.
