1. An ophthalmic imaging device, comprising:
a retinal imaging assembly having an optical axis;
a housing assembly to which the retinal imaging assembly is attached, wherein the housing assembly is configured to rest on a horizontal surface during operation of the retinal imaging assembly, wherein the optical axis is oriented at an angle from the horizontal surface when the housing assembly rests on the horizontal surface, and wherein the angle is in a range from 45 degrees to 85 degrees from the horizontal surface; and
a viewer assembly coupled with the housing assembly, the viewer assembly comprising an interface surface shaped for engagement with each head of a plurality of different user's and to accommodate repositioning of the head to align a pupil of the user with the optical axis;
wherein the ophthalmic imaging device has a first configuration for use during respective imaging sessions of a first eye of each of the different users by the retinal imaging assembly;
wherein the optical axis, in the first configuration of the retinal imaging assembly, has a fixed position and orientation relative to the viewer assembly; and
wherein the interface surface, in the first configuration of the retinal imaging assembly, accommodates repositioning, during each of the respective imaging sessions and by the respective user, of the respective user's head relative to the interface surface to reposition the first eye of the user in a direction transverse to the optical axis onto the optical axis.
