A device (20) for use in the screening, documentation, and diagnosis of various diseases of the eye (1). Several images (60) are taken substantially simultaneously, with the images (60) preferably taken in a non-coplanar orientation relative to each other (60). The images (60) represent multiple different zones (11) of the retina (10) taken using different optical imaging pathways (200). Image (60) distortion is minimized, because the individual optical imaging pathways (200) need to account for significantly less differential curvature of the object plane than a wide-field optical pathway that attempts to capture both the central and peripheral retina (10) in a single image. A single composite wide field image (61) can be generated, by merging the overlapping fields of multiple, concurrently captured images (60) taken at different angles.
