Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for acquisition of a metric of an eye (1) located in an acquisition space (29). The device comprises at least one light source (11) configured to emit light towards the acquisition space, a camera (15) configured to receive light from the acquisition space to (29) generate image data, and an analyzing unit (14) configured to extract at least one metric from the image data. The camera (15) is configured to receive light from the acquisition space via at least two light paths (17, 19) which are differently angled with respect to the optical axis of the camera, the light of at least one path being received via a first mirror (21). The camera receives light from an overlapping portion of the acquisition space via the first and second paths, as to allow the camera to receive at least two representations of a single eye. This metric may be used for e.g. eye tracking or autorefraction/accomodation.
