For calculating the intraocular pressure (IOP) of an eye, an applanation tonometer comprises an applanator formed of an optics array, a force transducer, an image sensor, and a processing circuit configured to calculate an intraocular pressure of the eye using one or more pairs of measured force and applanated area. The tonometer is provided with a disposable tip that covers the applanator, thereby providing a replaceable, sterile and transmissive interface between the tonometers applanator and a patients eye. Preferably, the applanating surface has a matte finish. The tonometer calculates the intraocular pressure using a predetermined relationship between interocular pressure and the slope of the line defined by data relating to the forces required to applanate the eye and the geometry of applanated portions of the eye. In a preferred embodiment, the data acquisition is synchronous. The tonometer may be of the type of a portable, hand-held device or a device affixed to and used in conjunction with a slit-lamp design.

There is disclosed herein an applanation tonometer and more particularly a new form of disposable tip cover therefor. The tonometer includes a fiber optic array cylinder. A disposable tip cover comprising a translucent and light diffusing film is used on the exterior tip of the cylinder. The tip cover can be retained on the cylinder by sandwiching the cover between a pair of inner and outer flexible rings, the inner ring being attachable to the tip of the fiber optic array cylinder.

A calibration device for use with a fundus camera is described, including a mock retina having a curvature from a front portion to a back portion. The calibration device further includes a color model having a range of colors comparable to a range of colors of the fundus of an eye. The calibration device further can include a lens for magnification and is configured to facilitate generation of an image to evaluate and adjust an ophthalmic imaging system for features such as color, magnification, and resolution.

Embodiments of a compact camera for imaging the ocular fundus are described. In some embodiments, the camera is a light, handheld camera that acquires a plurality of images of the fundus. The camera can be configured to acquire images manually or automatically. A movable imaging lens or movable image detector provides the images in a series to obtain an image with optimal focus. The camera can acquire a series of images and allow selection of an optimal image either manually, or automatically. In some embodiments, the camera is part of an imaging system that includes a base station. The base station exchanges data with the camera and can receive image data generated by the image detector of the camera. The base can further include networking capability, such that image data can be distributed over a network or to other communication or computing devices.
