Patent ID: 6968127

Claim:
A fundus camera comprising: an observation optical system having an objective lens and a first camera, for obtaining an observation image of a fundus of an eye to be examined via the objective lens, the fundus being illuminated with illumination light for observation; a photographing optical system having a second camera, for obtaining a photographed image of the fundus via the objective lens, the fundus being illuminated with illumination light for photographing, wherein an optical axis of the photographing optical system has a predetermined positional relationship with an optical axis of the observation optical system; a monitor which displays the obtained fundus observation image; a fixation-target presenting optical system for presenting a fixation target to the fundus via the objective lens so that the presented fixation target guides a line of vision of the eye, wherein an optical axis of the fixation-target presenting optical system has a predetermined positional relationship with the optical axis of the photographing optical system; a fixation-target moving unit having operation means, that freely moves the fixation target in a region of a two-dimensional plane orthogonal to the optical axis of the fixation-target presenting optical system; a first display-control unit which having control to optically or electrically display on the displayed fundus observation image an indicator to indicate a presented position of the fixation target on the fundus; and a second display-control unit which having control to graphically display on the displayed fundus observation image a guide target for guiding movement of the fixation target; wherein moving the fixation target so that the displayed indicator is positioned at the displayed guide target the moved fixation target guides the line of vision to a predetermined direction.
