摘要:
Technology that is capable of providing objective data for center management while considering reduction of examination time in ophthalmology is provided. A fundus observation apparatus of an embodiment comprises an optical system, image forming part, specifying part, association information generating part and evaluation information generating part. The optical system divides light from a light source into signal light and reference light, generates interference light by superposing the signal light having traveled by way of an eye fundus and the reference light having traveled by way of a reference optical path, and detects the interference light. The image forming part forms a cross sectional image of the eye fundus based on detection results of the interference light. The specifying part analyzes the cross sectional image to specify an abnormal region located in the vicinity of central fovea of the eye fundus. The association information generating part calculates the distance between the central fovea and the abnormal region and generates association information in which the direction of the abnormal region relative to the central fovea and the distance are associated with each other. The evaluation information generating part generates evaluation information for evaluating the state of the eye fundus based on the association information.
