PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a period of time as much as possible for continuously irradiating one place of the eye to be examined in view of safety to the eye to be examined.SOLUTION: In an ophthalmic apparatus, a state in which a measuring light is irradiated the eye to be examined during scanning of the measuring light by scanning means is changed, and the measuring light is changed a focusing position based on returning light from the eye to be examined in the state in which the measuring light is irradiated the eye to be examined.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】 被検眼に対する安全性の観点から、被検眼の一か所に連続的に照射される時間をできるだけ短くすること。【解決手段】 走査手段による測定光の走査中に測定光が被検眼に照射される状態に変更し、測定光が被検眼に照射される状態で被検眼からの戻り光に基づいて合焦位置を変更する。【選択図】 図1
