Abstract
An ophthalmic apparatus includes an illumination optical system that generates slit-shaped illumination light using a first light source; an optical scanner that deflects the illumination light to a fundus of a subject's eye; an imaging optical system that captures light from the fundus using a rolling shutter method; an acquisition unit that acquires a fundus image of the subject's eye using light from a second light source; a flare determination unit that determines whether or not flare occurs by analyzing the fundus image; a controller that performs flare optimization control by controlling at least one of the first light source, the illumination optical system, the optical scanner, the imaging optical system, and the image sensor based on a first determination result obtained by the flare determination unit; and an image forming unit that forms an image of the fundus when the flare does not occur.
