In an ophthalmologic apparatus comprises an illumination optical system for directing illumination light onto a prescribed point of an eye under examination, and an observation optical system for observing an image of the prescribed point of the eye under examination formed through an object lens. The object lens is movably supported along its optical axis between a first position at which the image point falls at its object point and a second position at which the prescribed point of the eye under examination falls at its image point. As a result, there is a change in the conjugate relationship so that a sharply focused image can be observed when the object lens is at either position thereby making it possible to observe sharply focused images of different magnifications simply by moving the object lens.

Ophthalmologic apparatus

An ophthalmologic apparatus equipped with a projection optical system for projecting a laser beam spot image onto a prescribed point of an eye under examination has a zoom lens provided in the projection optical system for enabling the diameter of the projected spot image to be varied and some of the lenses of the zoom lens are made movable for enabling projection of a blurred spot image.
