A control method of a fundus examination apparatus constructed as a perimeter for examining a fundus of an examinee's eye, includes: controlling a monitor provided in the fundus examination apparatus as the perimeter to display a two-dimensional map pertinent to a two-dimensional analysis result of the fundus based on a tomographic image of the examinee's eye obtained by an optical coherence tomography device; setting an examination position in the fundus examination apparatus as the perimeter on the two-dimensional map displayed on the monitor; and controlling the fundus examination apparatus as the perimeter based on the set examination position to examine the fundus.

Control method of a fundus examination apparatus

A control method of a fundus examination apparatus configured to examine a fundus of an examinee's eye, includes: processing an examination data obtained by one of fundus examination apparatuses, which are a perimeter configured to measure a visual field and an optical coherence tomography device configured to obtain a tomographic image of the fundus, to thereby obtain positional information relating to an abnormal site of the fundus; setting an examination position on the fundus in the other fundus examination apparatus which is the perimeter or the optical coherence tomography device based on the positional information; and examining the abnormal site of the fundus by controlling the other fundus examination apparatus based on the set examination position.

An ophthalmic apparatus includes: a fundus observation optical system for observing a fundus; a target presenting device including a scanning member for two-dimensionally scanning a visible laser beam emitted from a laser source, the device being configured to control emission of the laser source during two-dimensional scanning by the scanning member to project a predetermined target on the fundus under observation through the fundus observation optical system; and control means to change an irradiation diameter of the laser beam by inserting/removing an optical member into/from an irradiation optical path of the laser beam or moving the optical member in an axial direction and to change resolution of the target by changing each scan range of the laser beam by the scanning member according to the changed irradiation diameter of the laser beam. Accordingly, in the ophthalmic apparatus used in close and face-to-face position to an examinee, the size and shape of a target to be presented can be easily set. A test target with high resolution unrealizable by a conventional LCD can be presented.
