Abstract
An ophthalmic apparatus of an aspect example includes an image acquiring unit, a corneal shape estimating processor, and a first image correcting processor. The image acquiring unit is configured to acquire an anterior segment image constructed based on data collected from an anterior segment of a subject's eye by optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanning. The anterior segment image includes a missing part corresponding to a part of a cornea. The corneal shape estimating processor is configured to estimate a shape of the missing part of a cornea image by analyzing the anterior segment image acquired by the image acquiring unit. The first image correcting processor is configured to correct distortion of the anterior segment image based at least on the shape of the missing part estimated by the corneal shape estimating processor.
