Patent ID: 7281796

Claim:
An ophthalmic apparatus which allows a patient to experience a manner of view after correction of optical aberration of a patient's eye, the apparatus comprising: a target presenting optical system for presenting a target which the patient's eye is made to visually recognize; an aberration correcting optical system, which is arranged within an optical path of the target presenting optical system and has a light shaping optical unit which performs light shaping, for correcting the optical aberration of the patient's eye, the light shaping optical unit locally changing a direction of a light bundle which is reflected from or passes through the light shaping optical unit by applying a voltage; an input unit which inputs measurement data of one of wavefront aberration distribution and eye refractive power distribution of the patient's eye as correction data for correcting the optical aberration including higher order aberration of the patient's eye; and a control unit which controls driving of the light shaping optical unit based on the inputted correction data.
