A single imaging platform for making in vivo measurements of an individuals eye, where the measurements are sufficient to construct an optical model of the individuals eye. The platform includes a plenoptic opthalmic camera and an illumination module. In one configuration, the plenoptic opthalmic camera captures a plenoptic image of a corneal anterior surface of the individuals eye. In another configuration, the plenoptic opthalmic camera operates as a wavefront sensor to measure a wavefront produced by the individuals eye.
