A cornea imaging apparatus (10) comprising: an illumination optical system (14, 18) having an illumination source (14); an imaging optical system (20) having a photoelectric element (28) for receiving a reflected light beam from a cornea of an eye under examination; actuating means (112, 114, 116) for moving the illumination optical system and the imaging optical system in a direction nearer to or further from the eye to bring about focusing; imaging process retracting control means for controlling the actuating means during an imaging operation by the imaging optical system; continuous imaging means (S6, 112) for taking multiple images of the cornea at different times and positions by the photoelectric element of the imaging optical system during a retracting operation; and imaging operation control means (117) for controlling imaging operation status of the cornea by the continuous imaging means with reference to a photoreception signal of reflected light from the cornea. |
