Abstract

Ophthalmic imaging devices and related methods employ self-alignment of a user with an optical axis of the imaging device. An ophthalmic imaging device includes a retinal imaging assembly, a housing assembly, and a viewer assembly. The retinal imaging assembly has an optical axis. The retinal imaging assembly is attached to the housing. The housing assembly is configured to rest on a horizontal surface during operation of the retinal imaging assembly. The optical axis is oriented at an angle from the horizontal surface when the housing assembly rests on the horizontal surface. The viewer assembly is coupled with the housing assembly. The viewer assembly includes an interface surface shaped for engagement with each head of a plurality of different user's and to accommodate repositioning of the head to align a pupil of the user with the optical axis.
