The present invention relates to an eye examination apparatus comprising an illuminator adapted to project a light beam to illuminate the retina of an eye; an image sensor adapted to receive light reflected by the retina and to acquire images of the retina; scanning means adapted to perform optical scans of the retina moving the light beam projected on the retina along a scanning direction; separation means of the light beams adapted to separate the projected light from the light reflected by the retina and directed toward said image sensor; and a control unit to control the operation of said scanning apparatus. During the operation of said apparatus, in order to acquire each single image of a region of the retina to be framed, said image sensor integrates light reflected by the retina during at least two complete optical scans of said region of the retina by said scanning means.
