  • Publication number: 20230371811
    Abstract: An ophthalmologic apparatus includes: a spectroscopic member that separates light emitted from a light source into a first spectral component and a second spectral component; an optical scanner that guides the first spectral component and the second spectral component to an observation target region of a subject's eye including a plurality of imaging target lines formed by dividing the observation target region in a scanning direction; a line exposure imaging element that includes a plurality of exposure lines capable of detecting return light from the observation target region in the light receiving region; and a controller that illuminates a region of the imaging target lines corresponding to the two or more exposure lines forming the exposure line group with the first spectral component and the second spectral component to perform focus determination based on the result of detection by the exposure lines in the exposure line group.

  • Patent number: 10045693
    Abstract: An ophthalmologic observation apparatus of an embodiment includes a photographing optical system, measuring optical system, optical-path coupler, first and second drivers and controller. The photographing optical system includes a first focusing lens and performs photography for acquiring a front image of an eye. The measuring optical system includes a second focusing lens and performs OCT for acquiring a cross-sectional image of the eye. The optical-path coupler couples optical paths of the photographing optical system and measuring optical system at a location on the eye side than the first and second focusing lenses. The first driver moves the first focusing lens along an optical axis of the photographing optical system. The second driver moves the second focusing lens along an optical axis of the measuring optical system. The controller controls the first and second drivers individually.

  • Patent number: 10045691
    Abstract: A measuring optical system of an ophthalmologic observation apparatus of an embodiment performs OCT of an eye. An image forming part forms an image based on information acquired by OCT. A preliminary operation performing part performs a plurality of preliminary operations for OCT. Storage stores, for at least one specific preliminary operation among the plurality of preliminary operations, operating condition information including a transferring condition for transferring to a different preliminary operation and a terminating condition for terminating a specific preliminary operation in advance.

  • Patent number: 9706920
    Abstract: An ophthalmologic apparatus capable of performing suitable examination according to the state of the eye includes an examination optical system used to examine an eye, a drive part, two or more imaging parts, an analyzer, and a controller. The drive part moves the examination optical system. The two or more imaging parts substantially simultaneously photograph the anterior segment of the eye from different directions. The analyzer analyzes photographic images captured by the two or more imaging parts to obtain the three-dimensional position of the eye, and displacement information indicating the displacement direction and displacement amount of the eye due to eye movement. The controller performs a first alignment process of controlling the drive part based on the three-dimensional position to move the examination optical system and a second alignment process of controlling the drive part based on the displacement information to move the examination optical system.

  • Patent number: 9408531
    Abstract: An ophthalmologic apparatus includes an examination optical system, drive part, two or more imaging parts, analyzer, storage, position corrector, and controller. The examination optical system examines an eye. The drive part moves the examination optical system. The imaging parts substantially simultaneously photograph the anterior segment of the eye from different directions. The analyzer analyzes two or more photographic images captured substantially simultaneously by the imaging parts to obtain a three-dimensional position of the eye. The storage stores correction information in advance. The correction information is acquired based on optical properties of eyeballs, and used to correct the position of the eye in the optical axis direction of the examination optical system. The position corrector corrects the three-dimensional position obtained by the analyzer based on the correction information.
