An ophthalmic observation apparatus 1 performs an OCT measurement of a fundus Ef to form an OCT image, performs an analytical processing on this OCT image, and outputs examination-results information including the analysis results. The ophthalmic observation apparatus 1 is capable of selectively executing a plurality of operation modes. The ophthalmic observation apparatus 1 preliminarily stores operation mode information 214, in which various operational details are associated with each operation mode. When one operation mode is designated, the ophthalmic observation apparatus 1 refers to the operation mode information 214 to identify the operational details associated with this operation mode, and controls an optical system, an image forming part 220, a three-dimensional image forming part 231, an analytic processor 232, a display 240, and/or a printer 300, etc. based on the identified operational details.
