  • Patent number: 9320439
    Abstract: Ophthalmological image analysis techniques that can present objective information about the state of distribution of the Meibomian glands are provided. An ophthalmological image analyzer 1 comprises a designator 22, an extractor 23 and a calculator 24. The designator 22 is configured to designate an area A to be analyzed in a photographed image I of an eyelid of an eye. The extractor 23 is configured to extract Meibomian-gland subareas B that represent Meibomian glands in the eyelid, on the basis of the luminance value of each pixel in the area A being analyzed which is designated by the designator 22. The calculator 24 is configured to acquire distribution information of Meibomian glands in the area A being analyzed, on the basis of the Meibomian-gland subareas B.

  • Patent number: 5903334
    Abstract: An ophthalmologic apparatus comprises a measuring instrument (1) for measuring a subject's eye and an ophthalmologic-data forming instrument (2) for forming ophthalmologic data which is obtained by adding kind data showing the kind of the measuring instrument (1) to measurement data measured by the measuring instrument (1). The ophthalmologic-data forming instrument (2) comprises a memory (2c) for storing the measurement data, a memory (2b) for storing the kind data, and a control unit (2a) for forming and outputting the ophthalmologic data from the data stored in the memories (2b, 2c).
