  • Publication number: 20210307604
    Abstract: The present application discloses an ophthalmic photographing device that enables easy detection of a pupil diameter. The present invention pertains to an ophthalmic photographing device that is provided with: an anterior ocular segment illumination means for illuminating an anterior ocular segment of an eye of a subject with invisible light; an imaging element that is sensitive to at least invisible light and that is for capturing an image of the eye of the subject; and a processing means for processing an image captured by the imaging element, wherein when an image of an index projected onto the anterior ocular segment fulfills a prescribed condition, the processing means starts detection of a pupil diameter of the eye of the subject using an image formed on the imaging element by means of light reflected from the anterior ocular segment that has been illuminated with the invisible light from the anterior ocular segment illumination means.
