Ophthalmic apparatus for measuring refractive characteristic of eye to be measured

摘要

An ophthalmic apparatus measures characteristics of an eye using a projection mechanism that projects a target onto a fundus of the eye in a plurality of meridional directions in a cornea of the eye so as to substantially cover all over the cornea. A detection mechanism detects a position of the target image projected onto the fundus. A processor calculates refractive power values in the meridional directions based on the positions detected by the detection mechanism. The results are graphically displayed to permit an operator to quickly understand and interpret the results at a glance.
