Abstract:
1. An adaptive optics apparatus comprising: an aberration measuring unit that measures an aberration of returning light that returns from a subject's eye irradiated with light; an aberration correcting unit that corrects at least one of an aberration of light and an aberration of returning light that returns from the subject's eye irradiated with light on the basis of the measured aberration; a detecting unit that detects whether or not the subject's eye moves out of a predetermined area; and a control unit that controls the aberration correcting unit so as to hold a correction characteristic of the aberration correcting unit at a current correction characteristic, in a case where the detecting unit detects that the subject's eye moves out of a predetermined area, the current correction characteristic being a characteristic used for correction by the aberration correcting unit when movement of the subject's eye out of the predetermined area is detected.
