Abstract

According to one embodiment, an optometric apparatus includes a movement mechanism system and left and right optometry units. The movement mechanism system is suspended from an arm. The left and right optometry units are configured to be moved by the movement mechanism system. The left and right optometry units each include an optical element applying part, a target presenting part, and an objective measurement part. The optical element applying part is configured to selectively apply a plurality of optical elements to a subject's eye. The target presenting part is configured to selectively present a plurality of visual targets to the subject's eye. The objective measurement part is configured for performing objective refraction measurement of the subject's eye.

Claims (19)

1. An optometric apparatus, comprising:

a movement mechanism system suspended from an arm; and

left and right optometry units configured to be moved by the movement mechanism system,

wherein the left and right optometry units each include

an optical element applying part configured to selectively apply a plurality of optical elements to a subject's eye,

a target presenting part configured to selectively present a plurality of visual targets to the subject's eye, and

an objective measurement part configured for performing objective refraction measurement of the subject's eye.

2. The optometric apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the movement mechanism includes a first mechanism configured to relatively change orientations of the left and right optometry units.

3. The optometric apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the movement mechanism system includes a second mechanism configured to change a distance between the left and right optometry units.

4. The optometric apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the movement mechanism system includes a third mechanism configured to vertically move the left and right optometry units.

5. The optometric apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the movement mechanism system includes a fourth mechanism configured to integrally rotate the left and right optometry units.

6. The optometric apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

the arm; and

an arm vertical movement mechanism configured to vertically move the arm.

7. The optometric apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

the arm; and

an arm extending and contracting mechanism configured to extend and contract the arm in a vertical direction.

8. The optometric apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to control the movement mechanism system and the left and right optometry units.

9. The optometric apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an arithmetic unit configured to obtain an objective value based on a measurement result obtained by the objective measurement part.
