An ophthalmologic apparatus is configured to determine a direction in which a target that is used to adjust a working distance comes into focus based on an influence of astigmatism contained in a cornea reflection image of an eye to be examined.

Ophthalmologic apparatus, method for controlling ophthalmologic apparatus, and program

A fundus camera includes a focus target projection unit including a focus target located at a position conjugate with a fundus of a subject's eye, a split optical element configured to split a light flux passing through the focus target, and a focus target illumination light source configured to illuminate the focus target, a fundus photographing optical system including a focusing lens, a focus link mechanism configured to interlockingly move the focus target projection unit and the focusing lens in a direction of an optical axis, at least two lenses located behind a plane optically conjugate with the imaging plane of the fundus photographing optical system and outside an optical axis of the fundus photographing optical system, image sensors respectively located behind the two lenses, and a phase difference detection unit configured to detect a phase difference between the focus target images based on signals output from the image sensors.

Fundus camera

A fundus imaging apparatus selects a focal position detection method in accordance with whether a diopter correction lens is inserted in an optical path of an imaging optical system that includes an imaging unit; and detects a focal position based on a signal from the imaging unit according to the selected focal position detection method.

Fundus imaging apparatus and control method

Provided is a fundus imaging apparatus which achieves reduction of a load on an examiner by facilitating understanding of an operation of switching from a fundus imaging mode to an anterior ocular segment imaging mode, comprising: an imaging unit for taking an image of an eye to be inspected; a focusing unit for achieving a substantially conjugate relationship between the eye to be inspected and the imaging unit; a diopter adjustment unit for adjusting a diopter when the eye to be inspected is myopic or hyperopic; an imaging selecting unit capable of selecting the fundus imaging mode or the anterior ocular segment imaging mode; a diopter adjustment switching unit for switching the diopter adjustment unit in accordance with the selected imaging mode; and a drive unit for driving the focusing unit in accordance with the selected imaging mode.

Fundus imaging apparatus

A fundus camera includes a fundus photographing optical system including an image-recording image sensor for photographing a fundus image via a focusing lens, a focus target having a plurality of regions for forming light fluxes passing through a plurality of different areas on pupil of a subject's eye, and a focus drive unit for driving the focusing lens based on positions of a plurality of images of the focus target in an image captured by the image-recording image sensor and on contrast of the images.
