OPHTHALMOLOGICAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING OPTICAL INHOMOGENEITIES IN AN EYE

A computer-implemented method and device for characterizing an optical inhomogeneity in a human eye is disclosed, the method comprising: receiving (S1) optical coherence tomography data of the eye; receiving (S2) image data of an image of the eye recorded by a camera, the image recorded using one or more of the following imaging techniques: direct illumination of the eye, retro illumination of the eye, or Scheimpflug imaging; and characterizing (S3) the optical inhomogeneity as one or more of the following optical inhomogeneity types: a cataract, a floater, or an opacification of the cornea using the optical coherence tomography data and the image data.
