Claim Text:
1. A method for monitoring an image of an examinee's eye, comprising: obtaining first image data including a first examinee's eye image captured by a first ophthalmologic photographing apparatus, and additional information for determining whether the first examinee's eye image is a tomographic image or a front image; obtaining second image data including a second examinee's eye image captured by a second ophthalmologic photographing apparatus different from the first ophthalmologic photographing apparatus, and additional information regarding whether the second examinee's eye image is a tomographic image or a front image; determining whether the first examinee's eye image and the second examinee's eye image are a tomographic image or a front image, based on the additional information; and when the first examinee's eye image and the second examinee's eye image are a tomographic image or the first examinee's eye image and the second examinee's eye image are a front image, correcting a difference between the first examinee's eye image and the second examinee's eye image; and comparing the first examinee's eye image with the second examinee's eye image after the difference is corrected, wherein the first examinee's eye image is captured on a day that is different from a day on which the second examinee's eye image is captured; and the first ophthalmologic photographing apparatus comprises a first tomographic photographing optical system and a first front imaging optical system, and the second ophthalmologic photographing apparatus comprises a second tomographic photographing optical system and a second front imaging optical system, wherein a photographing method of the first tomographic photographing optical system and a photographing method of the second tomographic photographing optical system are different from each other; a photographing method of the first front imaging optical system and a photographing method of the second front imaging optical system are different from each other; or the photographing method of the first tomographic photographing optical system and the photographing method of the second tomographic photographing optical system are different from each other and the photographing method of the first front imaging optical system and the photographing method of the second front imaging optical system are different from each other.
