ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for detecting ophthalmic diseases such as an inflammation in a patient's eye which includes means for focusing a linearly polarized laser beam at a selected spot in the eye. The light scattered from the eye is photoelectrically detected and converted into an electrical signal which is subsequently used to determine the protein concentration essential to ophthalmic disease detection in the patient's eye. The laser beam of linear polarization projected on the spot to be measured only contains substantially the same linear polarization component as that contained in the light scattered from the patient's eye. In the apparatus, light adjusting and/or regulating means are provided to adjust the quantity of light impinging on a detector or the intensity of the laser beam produced from the laser source.
