Optical methods have been recently used to perform objective assessment of crystalline lens and corneal opacities. Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) enables measurements of the back-reflected or back-scattered photons from the internal objects. In this work, we present a long-depth range SS-OCT system, with a focus tunable lens, optimized for the visualization of large sections of the posterior segment of the eye, including the vitreous. The system was validated using an eye model
