  • Publication number: 20240032786
    Abstract: A controller of an ophthalmic apparatus finely drives and roughly drives a drive unit of an optometry unit. In a case where a tilt operation of tilting the operation stick within a predetermined range is detected by an operation detection unit, the controller finely drives the drive unit by controlling the drive unit in response to the detected tilt operation, and finely changes a position of the optometry unit. In a case where at least one of a tilt operation of tilting the operation stick over a predetermined range and an operation of a rough movement operation unit is detected by the operation detection unit, the controller roughly drives the drive unit by controlling the drive unit in response to the detected operation, and roughly changes the position of the optometry unit.

  • Publication number: 20220313078
    Abstract: An OCT device that selectively captures OCT data of a fundus of a subject eye and OCT data of an anterior segment of the subject eye. The OCT device includes a spectroscopic optical system that spectroscopically detects interference light between reference light and reflection light of measurement light irradiated on the subject eye. The spectroscopic optical system includes a collimating system that collimates the interference light, a spectrally dispersive element that spectrally disperses the collimated interference light for each spectral wavelength, an image formation system that forms an image of the interference light for each spectral wavelength on an imaging surface, and a light receiving element disposed on the imaging surface. An object-side focal length of the collimating system is shorter than an image-side focal length of the image formation system.

  • Patent number: 11039740
    Abstract: An ophthalmic apparatus for examining an examinee's eye, comprising a face support member to support an examinee's face, a human detection member to detect whether or not the face is supported by the face support member, a notification member to give an announcement to an examinee or an examiner, and a control member to control the notification member based on a detection result of the human detection member.

  • Publication number: 20200245860
    Abstract: An ophthalmologic apparatus that inspects a subject eye of a subject. The ophthalmologic apparatus includes an optometry device for inspecting the subject eye, a base for supporting the optometry device, an face supporter for holding the subject eye at an optometry position by supporting a face of the subject, and a changing device for relatively changing a positional relationship between the optometry position and the base in a working distance direction of the optometry device.
