  • Patent number: 11253148
    Abstract: An ophthalmological device according to the embodiments comprises an objective lens, a subjective inspection optical system, and an interference optical system. The subjective inspection optical system includes an optical element capable of correcting aberration of a subject's eye and projects a visual target onto the subject's eye via the objective lens and the optical element. The interference optical system splits light from a light source into reference light and measurement light, projects the measurement light onto the subject's eye via the objective lens and the optical element, generates interference light between returning light of the measurement light and the reference light, and detects the generated interference light.

  • Patent number: 11013400
    Abstract: An ophthalmic apparatus of an exemplary embodiment is capable of applying OCT to the fundus of a subject's eye, and includes an optical system, an optical scanner, an optical path length changing device, and a controller. The optical system splits light output front a light source into measurement light and reference light, projects the measurement light onto the fundus, generates interference light by superposing returning light of the measurement light from the subject's eye on the reference light, and detects the interference light. The optical scanner deflects the measurement light for scanning the fundus. The optical path length changing device changes at least one of an optical path length of the measurement light and an optical path length of the reference light. The controller controls the optical scanner based on at least the optical path length.

  • Patent number: 10881294
    Abstract: An ophthalmic apparatus of an embodiment include a data acquisition device, distribution data generator, correction value calculator, magnification corrector, and data comparator. The data acquisition device acquires three dimensional data by applying OCT to the fundus of a subject's eye. The distribution data generator generates distribution data of a predetermined measurement value in the fundus based on the three dimensional data. The correction value calculator calculates a magnification correction value based on a predetermined condition for acquiring the three dimensional data. The magnification corrector changes at least one of the size of standard distribution data generated in advance for the predetermined measurement value and the size of the distribution data, based on the magnification correction value. The data comparator compares the distribution data with the standard distribution data, at least one of whose sizes has been changed by the magnification corrector.

  • Patent number: 10743760
    Abstract: An ophthalmological device according to the embodiments comprises an objective lens, an objective measurement optical system, an interference optical system, and an image forming unit. The objective measurement optical system irradiates light onto a subject's eye via the objective lens and detects returning light from the subject's eye. The interference optical system splits light from a light source into reference light and measurement light, projects the measurement light onto the subject's eye via the objective lens so as to overlap at least part of an area of the irradiated light at the subject's eye by the objective measurement optical system, generates interference light between returning light of the measurement light and the reference light, and detects the generated interference light. The image forming unit forms a tomographic image of the subject's eye based on a detection result of the interference light by the interference optical system.

  • Patent number: 10028655
    Abstract: An optical system of an ophthalmologic imaging apparatus of embodiment splits light from a first light source into measurement light and reference light and detects interference light of returned light of measurement light from an eye and reference light. An image forming part forms an image based on detection result from the optical system. The optical unit includes a lens and joining member. The lens is locatable in an optical path of measurement light and used for changing a focus position of measurement light from a first site of the eye to second site. The joining member joins an optical path from a second light source to the optical path of measurement light. The optical unit converges light from the second light source having been guided into the optical path of measurement light by the joining member on an eye fundus via the lens.
