Abstract

An ophthalmic apparatus includes an illumination optical system, an optical scanner, an imaging optical system, a controller, and an image forming unit. The illumination optical system is configured to generate slit-shaped illumination light. The optical scanner is configured to deflect the illumination light to guide the illumination light to a fundus of a subject's eye. The imaging optical system is configured to guide returning light of the illumination light from the fundus to an image sensor. The controller is configured to control the optical scanner. The image forming unit is configured to form an image of the fundus based on a light receiving result captured in an imaging target region on a light receiving surface of the image sensor. The image sensor is configured to capture the light receiving result in an opening region on the light receiving surface using a rolling shutter method, the opening region corresponding to an illumination region of the illumination light on the fundus, the illumination region being moved in a predetermined scan direction by the optical scanner. The controller is configured to control the optical scanner so that irradiation times of the returning light at a plurality of light receiving elements in the imaging target region are substantially equal.
