    Abstract: An ophthalmic apparatus of an embodiment include a data acquisition device, distribution data generator, correction value calculator, magnification corrector, and data comparator. The data acquisition device acquires three dimensional data by applying OCT to the fundus of a subject's eye. The distribution data generator generates distribution data of a predetermined measurement value in the fundus based on the three dimensional data. The correction value calculator calculates a magnification correction value based on a predetermined condition for acquiring the three dimensional data. The magnification corrector changes at least one of the size of standard distribution data generated in advance for the predetermined measurement value and the size of the distribution data, based on the magnification correction value. The data comparator compares the distribution data with the standard distribution data, at least one of whose sizes has been changed by the magnification corrector.

    Abstract: An ophthalmologic apparatus includes: an ophthalmologic apparatus body having: an objective lens that faces a subject's eye; a first illumination optical system that irradiates a cornea of the subject's eye with illumination light emitted from a first illumination light source along an optical axis overlapping an optical axis center of the objective lens; an interference image capturing camera that takes an image of a corneal reflection light through the objective lens and outputs an imaging signal; and a calculation unit that calculates, based on a corneal reflection image, of a corneal reflection light, input from the interference image capturing camera, a thickness of a tear fluid film at each position on the corneal surface; and a guide rail that supports the ophthalmologic apparatus body. The guide rail supports the ophthalmologic apparatus body in a rotatable manner such that an optical axis center of the objective lens is positioned obliquely with respect to a horizontal direction orthogonal to a gravity direction.

    Abstract: An ophthalmologic apparatus includes a data acquisition unit, a storage unit, and a correction unit. The data acquisition unit includes a concave mirror and an optical scanner configured to deflect light from a light source to guide to a reflective surface of the concave mirror. The data acquisition unit is configured to acquire a first data set group in an A-scan direction by performing optical coherence tomography on a subject's eye placed at a subject's eye position or a conjugate position of the subject's eye position using light reflected by the reflective surface. The storage unit is configured to store correction data for correcting an incident angle of the light at the subject's eye position depending on a deflection angle of the light by the optical scanner. The correction unit is configured to generate a second data set group by correcting at least a part of the first data set group based on the correction data stored in the storage unit.
