A system and method for eye examination by scanning light scattered from an area
of the retina and projecting light into the eye includes a scanner, a receiver
unit, and a projection unit. The scanner is constructed and arranged to scan an
area on the retina. The receiver unit is optically coupled to the scanner and constructed
and arranged to capture light scattered back from the area of the retina. The projection
unit is constructed to generate and optically couple a light configuration to the
scanner for delivering the light configuration into the eye relative to the area
of the retina, wherein the scanner, the receiver unit and the projection unit are
cooperatively designed to analyse a patient's sight.
