PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ophthalmic observation apparatus which implements reduction of both size and costs for inspection facility and shortens required inspection time while being capable of highly accurately conducting funduscopy and gonioscopy in a series of inspection, and also to provide a method using the ophthalmic observation apparatus.SOLUTION: A control unit 70: sets the center of curvature of a subjects cornea to a specific rotation center on the basis of the curvature of the subjects cornea measured by a cornea curvature measurement unit 60 causes a rotation drive unit 50 to rotate an illumination light supply unit 41 and an imaging unit 42 with the specific rotation center as the rotation center and causes the imaging unit 42 to capture an image of the subjects eyeground and corner lighted by illumination light composed of substantially parallel luminous fluxes supplied from the illumination light supply unit 41.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】検査設備が小規模で低コストであり、検査に要する時間が短く、しかも眼底検査と隅角検査を一連の流れの中で高精度に行うことができる眼科用観察装置及びその使用方法を提供する。【解決手段】制御部70は、角膜曲率測定部60が測定した被検者の角膜の曲率に基づいて、被検者の角膜の曲率中心を特定回動中心に設定し、この特定回動中心を回動中心として照明光供給部41と撮像部42を回動駆動部50により回動させて、撮像部42に、照明光供給部41が供給した略平行光束からなる照明光によって照明された被検者の眼底と隅角を撮像させる。【選択図】図1
