    摘要: A noncontact type tonometer monitors the rate of change X(t) in pressure between a standard curve and a measured curve. If X(t) exceeds a value of 1.3, the application of air pressure is stopped to prevent an abnormal rise in pressure. If X(t) is equal to 1, then the measured curve follows the standard curve and correction is not required. If X(t) is not equal to 1, an error condition exists and an amended time t′ is calculated based on the rate of change X(t). Instead of a calculated amended time, an approximated standard curve can also be determined based on either an equation stored in a memory or by matching the measured curve with one of a plurality of standard curves stored in memory.

    摘要: An ophthalmologic alignment device for aligning a measuring system at a predetermined position for an eye to be examined. The user moves the measuring system with a joystick for aligning purposes while observing a frontal eye image with an observation unit. A second moving unit further moves the measuring system moved by the user. An index projection/detection system projects an index onto the eye and detects the reflected index. The controller causes drivers to drive the second moving unit on the basis of the result of the detection of the index projection/detection system. A mode switch switches the movement of the measuring system from a mode in which the observation unit is moved by the first moving unit to a mode in which the observation unit is moved by the second moving unit, whereby the alignment of the eye and the measuring system is achieved easily and with high accuracy, irrespective of the degree of the user's skillfulness in handling the alignment device.
