An optical apparatus and a camera are provided, which have line-of-sight detecting means, and are capable of selecting a proper AF point selected even if the actually detected line of sight deviates significantly from the observer's intention and capable of reducing the time required for selecting the AF point. A plurality of focus detecting areas are provided on an observing screen, from which focus information on a subject is detected. A line-of-sight detecting device picks up an image of an eyeball of the user to detect the location of a gazing point of the user, A grouping circuit groups the focus detecting areas into a plurality of groups with priorities based on the detected location of the gazing point. A selecting circuit selects one of the groups according to the priorities and selects at least one focus detecting area from the selected group.
