Laser Eye Machine, Wow such a cool name.
Its also called as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Technique to take image of the eyes (Not limited only to eyes). The laser with different wavelength is shined on the area of interest (eye tissue, body tissue etc), the reflected light is collected and analysed to reform it to an meaningful image. This image can be used for diagnostics of the issue.

Did you know lasers can also be used to perform surgery on the eye? A laser is used to reshape the cornea to help people to focus properly so they won’t need glasses anymore!
