PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new technique to enable stable observation of a desired site using a fixation target.SOLUTION: An ophthalmic imaging apparatus includes: an SLO system collecting data of a subject eye by scanning the subject eye with SLO light from an SLO light source an OCT system projecting observation light based on OCT light from an OCT light source onto the subject eye and detecting interference light between return light of the observation light and reference light based on the OCT light to form an image of the subject eye a focal position changing unit changing the focal position of the SLO light and the focal position of the measurement light an object lens arranged in the optical path of the SLO light and in the optical path of the measurement light and having an angular magnification which is set to make the spot diameter of the SLO light at the eyeground of the subject eye equal to or smaller than a predetermined value and a controller, when the focal position of the SLO light and the focal position of the measurement light are changed to a site different from the eyeground by the focal position changing unit, controlling the SLO system such that the SLO light is projected onto the eyeground as fixation light to set the subject eye in a fixed state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1BCOPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】固視標を用いて安定して所望の部位を観察するための新たな技術を提供する。【解決手段】眼科撮影装置は、SLO光源からのSLO光で被検眼を走査することにより被検眼のデータを収集するSLO系と、OCT光源からのOCT光に基づく測定光を被検眼に投射し、その戻り光とOCT光に基づく参照光との干渉光を検出して被検眼の画像を形成するOCT系と、SLO光の焦点位置及び測定光の焦点位置を変更する焦点位置変更部と、SLO光の光路及び測定光の光路に配置され、被検眼の眼底におけるSLO光のスポット径が既定値以下になるように設定された角倍率を有する対物レンズと、焦点位置変更部によりSLO光の焦点位置及び測定光の焦点位置が眼底と異なる部位に変更されたとき、被検眼を固視させるための固視光としてSLO光を眼底に投射するようにSLO系を制御する制御部と、を含む。【選択図】図1B
