Abstract
A corneal surgery apparatus capable of accurately measuring a three-dimensional corneal shape in a state of being subjected to corneal ablation. The apparatus has a unit including a laser source emitting a laser beam to bring about corneal ablation and a first optical system irradiating a cornea with the beam, a unit including a light source emitting measurement light with a wide wavelength band, a beam splitter dividing the light, a second optical system irradiating the cornea with one divided light, a movable reference mirror on an optical path of the other divided light and a photo-detector at a position photo-receiving interference light of the measurement light reflected by the cornea and the mirror, which obtains a three-dimensional corneal shape based on an interference light image, a unit obtaining corneal ablation data based on obtained corneal shape data, and a unit controlling the ablation unit based on the ablation data.
