Abstract
An ophthalmic apparatus includes an objective lens, an illumination optical system, an imaging optical system, and an optical path coupling member. The illumination optical system may illuminate a subject's eye with illumination light via the objective lens. The imaging optical system may guide returning light of the illumination light from the subject's eye to an imaging device via the objective lens. The optical path coupling member has a transparent member with a reflective region formed by evaporating a reflective film onto a part of a transmission region of its surface, and is configured to couple an optical path of the illumination optical system with an optical path of the imaging optical system. The transmission region may be arranged substantially conjugate optically to a subject's iris. The illumination light is reflected on the reflective region and the returning light is transmitted through the transmission region.
