We report on fabrication of a smart glass type laser scanning system using 2D MEMS scanner for retinal imaging. The 2D MEMS scanner used in this system is much smaller and light in weight compared to galvanometer scanners and polygon scanners used in the commercially available ophthalmic devices. A MEMS based scanner was used to miniaturize the system size to fit into a wearable glass. Biological samples such as ham slice and retina/fundus of enucleated swine eye was imaged successfully.Results demonstrates its potential in personal health care devices for monitoring of eye diseases.
