Ophthalmologic apparatus
An ophthalmologic apparatus includes an objective measurement optical system that measures an objective refraction characteristic of a subject eye and a control portion that performs total control including control of the objective measurement optical system, wherein the control portion analyzes a characteristic amount of a ring image obtained by measuring the objective refraction characteristic of the subject eye to feedback to a subjective examination content of the subject eye according to an analysis result of the characteristic amount of the ring image.
1 . An ophthalmologic apparatus comprising: an objective measurement optical system that measures an objective refraction characteristic of a subject eye; and a control portion that performs total control including control of the objective measurement optical system, wherein the control portion analyzes a characteristic amount of a ring image obtained by measuring the objective refraction characteristic of the subject eye to feedback to a subjective examination content of the subject eye according to an analysis result of the characteristic amount of the ring image, and wherein the control portion performs subjective examination with a previously determined automatic optometry algorithm upon determination that the analysis result of the characteristic amount of the ring image includes no feedback, and changes the automatic optometry algorithm to a content in which the analysis result of the characteristic amount of the ring image is reflected upon determination that the analysis result of the characteristic amount of the ring image includes feedback, wherein a determination of no feedback results from the analysis result of the characteristic amount of the ring image determining that the subject eye has a low probability of ametropia in the subject eye in an extent to cause an error in automatic subjective examination, and wherein a determination of feedback results from the analysis result of the characteristic amount of the ring image determining that the subject eye has a high probability of ametropia in the subject eye in the extent to cause the error in automatic subjective examination.
2 . The ophthalmologic apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the control portion displays an alert message of the analysis result just after objective measurement or when subjective examination is performed upon determination that the analysis result of the characteristic amount of the ring image includes feedback.
3 . The ophthalmologic apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the control portion sets the characteristic amount of the ring image obtained by measuring the objective refraction characteristic to one item or combination of a plurality of items of brightness of the ring image, an edge intensity of the ring image, a contrast of the ring image, a width of the ring image, residual to an approximate ellipse of a detection point of the ring image, a number of detection points of the ring image, and a center coordinate of an approximate ellipse of a detection point of the ring image.
4 . The ophthalmologic apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the control portion calculates a reliability coefficient based on a score value showing reliability in the subjective measurement for the one item or the combination of a plurality of items of the characteristic amounts of the ring image when analyzing the characteristic amount of the ring image obtained by measuring the objective refraction characteristic, and determines feedback to the analysis result of the characteristic amount of the ring image with comparison between the reliability coefficient and a normal determination value.
5 . The ophthalmologic apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising, as the ophthalmologic apparatus, an objective measurement device that measures an objective refraction characteristic of the subject eye and at least one subjective examination device that performs subjective examination for obtaining a subjective refraction value of the subject eye,
wherein the control portion of the objective measurement device shares information by sending the feedback content to a control portion of the subjective examination device upon determination of the feedback content according to the analysis result of the characteristic amount of the ring image.
6 . The ophthalmologic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the characteristic amount is a function of one or more scores assigned to corresponding objective refractive characteristics derived from the ring image.
7 . The ophthalmologic apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein the objective refractive characteristics are selected from a brightness of the ring image, an edge intensity of the ring image, a contrast of the ring image, a width of the ring image, residual to an approximate ellipse of a detection point of the ring image, a number of detection points of the ring image, and a center coordinate of an approximate ellipse of a detection point of the ring image.
8 . The ophthalmologic apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein no feedback is determined upon determining that the characteristic amount of the ring image is on a normal side of a threshold, otherwise feedback is assigned.
