Patent ID: 7753525

Claim:
An ophthalmic apparatus for computing a sensitivity value of an eye to be examined in a measurement point in such a manner that a stimulus light from a lamp having one, two or more different kinds of strength, is emitted on a retina of said eye to be examined from a predetermined said measurement point as a stimulus under a predetermined background light, and a response of an examinee to said stimulus light is obtained, comprising: a first memory for storing sensitivity database wherein a sensitivity of said eye to be examined in said measurement point which corresponds to said sensitivity value which is obtained with said eye to be examined having a standard pupil diameter when said stimulus light having one, two or more different kinds of strength is used as said stimulus under said predetermined background light is shown in two or more sensitivity steps; a second memory for storing volume of correction which is necessary for correcting a virtual sensitivity value which was measured with said pupil diameter of some shape parameter rate into a sensitivity value in a standard pupil diameter as a correction database after said virtual sensitivity value which is obtained when measuring said eye to be machined which sensitivity value in said standard pupil diameter is known, variously changing said pupil diameter under said predetermined background light is measured for many examinees in advance; a pupil diameter measuring unit for measuring a pupil diameter of said eye to be examined; a shape parameter rate computing unit for computing a shape parameter rate of said measured pupil diameter to said standard pupil diameter; a correction volume database for storing correction data on multiple shape parameter rates; a correction volume computing unit for computing volume of correction by referring to said correction volume database and said shape parameter rate of said eye to be examined, wherein said volume correction is for correcting said virtual sensitivity value into said sensitivity value in a standard pupil diameter; and a sensitivity step judging unit for judging said sensitivity step of said eye to be examined in such a manner that said virtual sensitivity value which was obtained by a measurement of said eye to be examined is corrected into said sensitivity value in said standard pupil diameter by said computed volume of correction, and said corrected sensitivity value in said standard pupil diameter is referred to said sensitivity database.
