Abstract:
1. An eye examination apparatus comprising: a refractive power measuring section for objectively measuring refractive powers of subject eyes of a subject in a binocular viewing state; an eye chart presenting section for presenting a subjective measurement eye chart to be observed by the subject; a correcting section for correcting the subject eyes by referring to data on the refractive powers measured with the refractive power measuring section and using the subjective measurement eye chart presented in the eye chart presenting section; and an optical characteristic measuring section for subjectively measuring an optical characteristic of each of the subject eyes corrected or being corrected with the correcting section in a state where the subject is binocularly viewing the subjective measurement eye chart, wherein the subjective measurement eye chart is an eye chart for subjectively measuring contrast sensitivity, and the optical characteristic measuring section is constituted to subjectively measure the contrast sensitivity of the subject.
