A visual target presenting optical system has a light source that illuminates a visual target to be viewed by a subject, and a visual target presentation state changing unit that can change the direction in which the visual target will be presented to the subject. An alignment luminous flux casting unit casts an alignment luminous flux toward a subject eye at timing prior to the presentation of the visual target. An alignment light receiving optical system and a light receiving unit receive a reflected luminous flux from the subject eye reflecting the luminous flux. A change control unit instructs the visual target presentation state changing unit to change the visual target presenting direction on the basis of the light receiving position of the reflected luminous fluxes received by the light receiving unit.
