Abstract

An optical system for presenting an image to a user. The system includes an image source and an optical channel transmitting the image to the user's eye. It also includes an illumination of the ocular fundus and an imaging of the illuminated ocular fundus, both using part of the optical channel. The system enables an analysis of the eye retina observing an image. It also enables depending on the eye position, an adaptation of the visual image presented. If the system is partially mounted in a headset, it enables the presentation of the image to a mobile user.
