The optical image measuring apparatus includes a polarizing plate for converting a light beam from a broad-band light source to linearly polarized light, a half mirror for dividing the light beam into signal light and reference light, a piezoelectric element for vibrating a reference mirror, a wavelength plate for converting the reference light to circularly polarized light, a polarization beam splitter for extracting two different polarized light components from interference light produced from the signal light and the reference light which are superimposed on each other by the half mirror, CCDs for detecting the two different polarized light components, and a signal processing portion for producing an image of an object to be measured based on the detected polarized light components. A frequency for intensity modulation of the light beam is synchronized with a beat frequency of the interference light. A frequency of vibration of the reference mirror is synchronized with the beat frequency of the interference light and an amplitude of vibration thereof is set to be equal to or smaller than a wavelength of the interference light.

First image forming part forms a two-dimensional surface image of a fundus oculi of an eye based on optically obtained data. Second image forming part forms tomographic images of fundus oculi based on data obtained by optically scanning a region of the surface of fundus oculi corresponding to at least part of two-dimensional image. Accumulated image generating part generates an accumulated image by accumulating the formed tomographic images in a depth-wise direction. Extracting part extracts first vascular territory corresponding to a fundus oculi vessel from two-dimensional image formed by first image forming part, and also extracts second vascular territory corresponding to a fundus oculi vessel from accumulated image generated by accumulated image generating part. Specification part specifies a position of a vascular cross sectional region corresponding to a cross section of a fundus oculi vessel in the tomographic image based on extracted first vascular territory and extracted second vascular territory.
