A fundus camera capable of favorably obtaining a photographed fundus image and an observation fundus image, has an optical system having an objective lens and a diaphragm at a conjugate position with a pupil relative to the lens, for performing visible photographing and infrared observation via the lens and an aperture of the diaphragm, an optical system for illumination with visible and infrared light via the lens, a first plate, with a first black dot to cover an aperture image and at a conjugate position on an optical path with a position where a virtual image is formed relative to a lens surface reflecting the visible light, and a second plate, with a second black dot to cover an aperture image and in the vicinity of a conjugate position on the path with a position where a virtual image is formed relative to the surface reflecting the infrared light.

Fundus camera

An apparatus for examining an anterior-segment of an eye, capable of grasping each part of the anterior-segment of the eye three-dimensionally and the condition of the center of its pupil accurately. The apparatus is provided with a projection optical system for projecting slit light onto the anterior-segment, which has an optical axis of projection, an image-pickup optical system for picking up a cross-sectional image of the anterior-segment which is optical-sectioned by the projected slit light, which has an optical axis of image-pickup inclined toward the projection optical axis, and comprises an image-pickup lens and an image-pickup device arranged based on the Scheimpflug's rule, rotation means for rotating the projected slit light and the image-pickup optical system about the projection optical axis, and display means for displaying a three-dimensional image of the anterior-segment based on the cross-sectional images picked up at a plurality of angles and the image-pickup angles corresponding to the images.

Apparatus for examining an anterior-segment of an eye

The present invention intends to provide an apparatus for analyzing a sectional image of an anterior eye segment and a program for the same which reduce a burden on an examiner, and to provide a more reliable, reproducible result. The apparatus for analyzing a sectional image of an anterior eye segment which is light-sectioned by slit light and photographed comprises a defining device for defining a target opacity part in the sectional image based on a density distribution being between a cornea and a fundus and being in a first direction perpendicular to an optical axis of an eye to be examined, a determining device for determining an area to be analyzed based on the defined opacity part, and an analyzing device for analyzing an opacity condition base on the density distribution in the determined area.

Apparatus for analyzing a sectional image of an anterior eye segment and a program for the same

A fundus camera for photographing a fundus of an eye to be examined, in which a fixation target may be moved easily to guide a desired section of the fundus to a position intended for photographing. The fundus camera is provided with: observation means having a photographing element for picking up an image of the fundus illuminated in illumination light for observation and a monitor on which the picked-up image of the fundus is displayed; fixation target presenting means for movably presenting a fixation target in an arbitrary position, the fixation target being visually identified by the eye; designating means for designating a section of the fundus desired to be placed in the position intended for photographing on the fundus image displayed on the monitor; and control means for controlling the fixation target presenting means so as to shift a presenting position of the fixation target based on a signal indicating a designated position on the monitor.
