Abstract
An opthalmologic apparatus has an examination unit including a plurality of examining parts for executing different examinations on an eye to and a driver moving the examination unit in the horizontal direction and in the anteroposterior direction. The opthalmologic apparatus controls the driver when switching a examination subject by the examination unit from one eye to the other eye to cause the examination unit to retreat by only a retreating distance according to the working distance of an examination part positioned at the examination position for the one eye. The examination unit retreats by only a distance according to the working distance. Therefore, it is possible to achieve both reductions in examination time and improvements for safety by preventing an examining part comes into contact with the patient.
