An individual's retinal pattern consists of blood vessels that are unique in the same way fingerprints are unique. The center of the eye is scanned with a very low-intensity light that produces light-emitting diodes (LEDs). With the enterer's eye socket pressed against the device, a target is visible. The individual focuses on a target while the scan is made. The scan is compared with a scan in the access control database.
