PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism which, when photographing an anterior ocular segment, enables correct focusing without changing the illumination state of the subject eye, thereby achieving proper photographing of the anterior ocular segment.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to an ophthalmic apparatus comprising: an anterior ocular segment illumination light source 615 for illuminating an anterior ocular segment of a subject eye E with light a focus lens 612 for bringing the subject eye E into focus an imaging element 613 for receiving reflected light of the light from the subject eye E through the focus lens 612 and imaging the subject eye E a movable part 3 for driving an optometry unit 6 relative to the subject eye E, the optometry unit being a housing which includes the anterior ocular segment illumination light source 615, focus lens 612, and imaging element 613 and control means which, during focusing for photographing of the anterior ocular segment of the subject eye E, adjusts the position of the focus lens 612 along the optical axis with the optometry unit 6 fixed, without the driving being performed by the movable part 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】前眼部撮影の際に、被検眼の照明状態を変化させることなく適正なピント調節を行えるようにして、適切な前眼部撮影を実現する仕組みを提供する。【解決手段】被検眼Eの前眼部を光で照明する前眼部照明光源615と、被検眼Eに対して合焦させるためのフォーカスレンズ612と、被検眼Eからの前記光の反射光をフォーカスレンズ612を介して受光し、被検眼Eを撮像する撮像素子613と、前眼部照明光源615、フォーカスレンズ612および撮像素子613を備える筐体である検眼部6を被検眼Eに対して駆動させる可動部3と、被検眼Eの前眼部を撮影する前眼部撮影におけるピント調節の際に、可動部3による駆動を行わずに検眼部6を固定した状態で、フォーカスレンズ612の位置を光軸に沿って調整する制御を行う制御手段を備える。【選択図】図1
