  • Patent number: 8752962
    Abstract: When the fundus camera is positioned on the same side as the subject's eye relative to an appropriate position (front-focus state), the positioning index light source turned on in blue produces most-focused positioning index images. The positioning index light sources become more blurred in order of green and red. When the camera is positioned on the opposite side of the subject's eye relative to the appropriate position (rear-focus state), the positioning index light source turned on in red produces most-focused images. The positioning index light sources become more blurred in order of green and blue. Based on a degree of the blur of the individual positioning index images in red, green, and blue reflected by the cornea of the subject's eye, the calculation unit calculates whether to move the camera body closer to or farther away from the subject's eye and allows the display unit to display the information.
