Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an ophthalmic apparatus. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, an ophthalmic device has been known that includes a measurement head that performs measurements while observing an image of the anterior eye segment through an optical system, a drive mechanism that drives the measurement head up and down, left and right, and back and forth, and a monitor unit with a touch panel display screen that can display an image of the anterior eye segment (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-78524 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In conventional devices, the display screen of the monitor is provided with a display area for an anterior eye image, etc., and a display area for operation buttons. The display area for operation buttons has a measurement mode button, an R button, and an L button. The measurement mode button is used to select the R / K measurement mode, the R button is used to select the right eye, and the L button is used to select the left eye. The R / K measurement mode refers to the Refractive index (ocular refraction) / Kerato (corneal curvature radius) measurement mode.

[0005] In this way, when selecting a measurement mode, all you have to do is select the R / K measurement mode using the provided measurement mode button. Therefore, if you want to select a measurement item (Ref measurement only, Kerato measurement only, etc.), you need to select the measurement item again on the measurement screen after selecting the measurement mode. This makes the operation to set the measurement mode and measurement items complicated, and there was a problem in that it was not possible to easily set the measurement mode and measurement items before or during measurement.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has an object to provide an ophthalmic apparatus that allows the measurement mode and measurement items to be easily set before or during measurement. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the ophthalmologic apparatus of the present invention comprises a measurement head, a drive mechanism, a monitor, and a control unit. The measurement head is positioned facing the subject's eye and performs measurements of multiple measurement items while observing an anterior eye image via an optical system. The drive mechanism drives the measurement head. The monitor has a touch panel display screen. The control unit controls each unit of the apparatus based on input information including touch operations on the display screen. The display screen displays a measurement mode selection screen for setting the measurement mode and the measurement items. The measurement mode selection screen is provided with a setting means that can set at least one of the measurement order and the number of measurements for each of the multiple measurement items. The control unit performs the multiple measurement items in a predetermined order and number of times based on the measurement order and the number of measurements set by the setting means. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] In this way, before or during measurement, tapping the mode button displays the measurement mode selection screen, and touching the display items on the measurement mode selection screen sets the measurement mode and measurement items to be performed on the subject's eye. As a result, the measurement mode and measurement items can be easily set before or during measurement. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

The arrangement of these eight types of measurement icons corresponds to the measurement order of each measurement item set as the standard when consecutively measuring all measurement items. Note that the measurement status display is not limited to an icon display using the display items as icons, and may be an English character display, a simplified English character display, or the like.

[0047] When the measurement mode and measurement items to be performed on the subject's eye E are set, the main control unit 17 displays the set measurement mode and measurement items in a visible manner on the measurement status display unit 413. For example, when all of the measurement modes and measurement items are set, all of the icons on the measurement status display unit 413 are lit. When some of the measurement modes and measurement items are set, some of the set icons are lit. Furthermore, during measurement when multiple measurement items are set, the overall display brightness may be changed, the underscore may be brightened, or parentheses or marks may be added to the icons so that the measurement items being measured can be distinguished from the measurement items not being measured.

[0048] Next, the setting action of the measurement mode, measurement items, and eye to be measured by touch operation in the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0049] After turning on the power switch 112, tap the mode button 1B located at the center of the top side of the operation button display area 412, as shown in Fig. 6.

[0057] Next, the setting operation of the measurement mode, measurement items, and eye to be measured in cooperation with the database in the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0058] The main control unit 17 of the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment can cooperate with the database of the external device 60. Therefore, when the measurement mode, measurement items, and measurement eye are set for the eye E of a specific subject P, and the ophthalmologic measurement is performed and completed according to the settings, the setting history of the measurement mode, measurement items, and measurement eye linked to the specific subject P is stored. At this time, the setting history is stored in the database of the cooperated external device 60 so as to be able to be called as a data list 100 ( FIG. 9 ) including the specific subject P.

[0059] Therefore, when a specific subject P is to undergo ophthalmologic measurement at a follow-up visit, as shown in Fig. 9, the database of the external device 60 is called up and a data list 100 is displayed on the screen of the external device 60. Then, the specific subject P at the follow-up visit is selected from the many data lists 100 displayed. By reading information about the subject P that has already been saved through the selection operation of the subject P, the subject P's ID, measurement mode, measurement items, and measurement eye are set all at once.

[0060] That is, when subject P is undergoing ophthalmic measurement on a follow-up visit and there are no changes to the measurement mode, measurement items, or eye to be measured, there is no need to set the measurement mode, measurement items, or eye to be measured on the first measurement mode selection screen 71 displayed by tapping the mode button 1B. For example, in the case of a follow-up visit subject P who only needs to have his / her right eye measured, the first measurement mode selection screen 71 is displayed with the measurement mode, measurement items, and eye to be measured already set simply by selecting subject P on a follow-up visit from the data list 100. That is, on the first measurement mode selection screen 71, as shown in FIG. 10, the setting display shows the right eye measurement item area selected, just as when the right eye setting button 85RB is touched.

[0061] Here, an example has been described in which the database of the external device 60 is called up. However, it is also possible to call up the database stored in the memory unit 18 of the device main body 10 and select a specific subject P. In this case, when the ophthalmic measurement is completed, the measurement mode, measurement items, and setting history for the eye to be measured are stored in the database of the memory unit 18 of the device main body 10 as a data list linked to the specific subject P.

[0062] As described above, the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment provides the following effects.

[0063] (1) The ophthalmologic apparatus 1 includes a composite measurement head 12 (measurement head), an XYZ drive mechanism and drive circuit 16 (drive mechanism), a monitor unit 40, and a main control unit 17 (control unit). The composite measurement head 12 is positioned facing the subject's eye E and performs measurements of multiple measurement items while observing an anterior eye image Gf via an optical system. The XYZ drive mechanism and drive circuit 16 drives the composite measurement head 12 up, down, left, right, front, and back relative to the subject's eye E. The monitor unit 40 has a touch-panel display screen 41 that has an anterior eye image display area 411 that displays the anterior eye image Gf and an operation button display area 412 that displays operation buttons. The main control unit 17 controls each unit of the apparatus based on input information including touch operations on the display screen 41. When the mode button 1B in the operation button display area 412 is tapped, the main control unit 17 displays a first measurement mode selection screen 71 in the anterior eye image display area 411, which collectively displays the measurement modes and measurement items. By performing a touch operation on the display items on the first measurement mode selection screen 71, the measurement mode and measurement items to be performed on the subject's eye E are set.

[0064] That is, before or during measurement, tapping the mode button 1B displays the first measurement mode selection screen 71, and performing a touch operation on the display items of the first measurement mode selection screen 71 sets the measurement mode and measurement items to be performed on the subject's eye E. Therefore, the measurement mode and measurement items can be easily set before or during measurement.

[0065] (2) The monitor unit 40 has a measurement status display unit 413 that displays the measurement status on the display screen 41. When the measurement mode and measurement items to be performed on the subject's eye E are set, the main control unit 17 displays the set measurement mode and measurement items on the measurement status display unit 413.

[0066] That is, when the measurement mode and measurement items to be performed on the subject's eye E are set, the set measurement mode and measurement items are displayed on the measurement status display unit 413. Therefore, when the measurement mode and measurement items are set, the set measurement status (measurement mode, measurement items) can be recognized at a glance by looking at the display screen 41 of the monitor unit 40.

[0067] (3) The main controller 17 displays, on the first measurement mode selection screen 71, a right eye setting button 85RB for setting the right eye of the subject's eye E and a left eye setting button 85LB for setting the left eye of the subject's eye E.

[0068] That is, the right eye setting button 85RB and the left eye setting button 85LB are added to the display items for setting the measurement mode and measurement items and are displayed together as display items on the first measurement mode selection screen 71. Therefore, the first measurement mode selection screen 71 allows the setting of the measurement mode, measurement items, and the setting of the eye to be measured to be performed all at once.

[0069] (4) The main control unit 17 displays individual setting buttons (measurement buttons 81RB, 82RB, 83RB, 84RB, 81LB, 82LB, 83LB, and 84LB) for individually setting measurement items by tapping on the first measurement mode selection screen 71. In addition to displaying the individual setting buttons, it also displays area setting buttons (right eye setting button 85RB, left eye setting button 85LB, all measurement mode setting button 86AB, R / K measurement mode setting button 86KB, and T / P measurement mode setting button 86PB) for setting measurement item areas for multiple measurement items.

[0070] That is, in addition to being able to set measurement items individually, when you want to set a measurement item area for multiple measurement items, you can do so by touching a button. Also, when you want to delete some measurement item areas from a measurement item area for a combination of multiple measurement items, you can delete them by touching a button. Therefore, you can freely set the measurement mode and measurement items by touching the first measurement mode selection screen 71 while reducing the number of touch operations.

[0071] (5) When the main control unit 17 completes the ophthalmic measurement by setting the measurement mode and measurement items to be performed on the subject's eye E, it stores the setting history for the measurement mode, measurement items, and measured eye in the data list 100 for the subject P stored in the linked database.

[0072] That is, when the ophthalmic measurement for subject P is completed, the setting history for the measurement mode, measurement items, and eye to be measured is stored in a data list for subject P held in a linked database. Therefore, when subject P comes for a follow-up visit, the setting history for the stored measurement mode, measurement items, and eye to be measured can be referenced to perform setting operations for the measurement mode, measurement items, and eye to be measured. In addition, by utilizing the stored setting history, the measurement mode, measurement items, and eye to be measured can be set all at once by the subject P's selection at the time of a follow-up visit.

[0073] (6) When the subject P is returning for a follow-up examination, the main control unit 17 displays the data list 100 stored in the linked database, and sets the measurement mode, measurement items, and measurement eye by selecting the subject P returning for a follow-up examination from the data list 100.

[0074] That is, at the time of a return visit, the stored setting history is utilized, and the measurement mode, measurement items, and eye to be measured are set simply by performing a selection operation by the subject P. Therefore, when the subject P is at a return visit, the measurement mode, measurement items, and eye to be measured can be set easily in a short time. [Example]

[0075] The second embodiment is an example in which the display mode displayed on the display screen 41 of the monitor unit 40 from the preparation stage before measurement to the end of measurement and the display mode of the measurement mode selection screen are different from those in the first embodiment.

[0076] First, the basic display mode displayed on the display screen 41 of the monitor unit 40 from the preparation stage before measurement to the end of measurement will be described with reference to FIG.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 11, the touch panel display screen 41 of the monitor unit 40 has an anterior eye image display area 411 that displays the anterior eye image Gf, an operation button display area 412 that displays operation buttons, and a measurement status display area 413 that displays measurement items.

[0078] Similar to the first embodiment, the anterior eye image display area 411 is an area having a rectangular area obtained by reducing in the vertical and horizontal directions from the entire area of ​​the display screen 41. Similar to the first embodiment, the anterior eye image Gf having the corneal bright spot image P1 is displayed in the anterior eye image display area 411, and a target area mark 40e and a minimum pupil diameter determination mark 40f are displayed at the center of the anterior eye image display area 411. Similar to the first embodiment, the anterior eye image display area 411 displays the measurement results and the number of measurements for each of the right and left eyes in addition to the anterior eye image Gf.

[0079] The operation button display area 412 is a strip-shaped area defined by the top, bottom, right and upper left sides of the four outer periphery sides of the entire area of ​​the display screen 41 excluding the anterior eye image display area 411 .

[0080] A mode button 1B, an RK mode display / setting button 2B, a TP mode display / setting button 3B, a subject ID button 4B, and an examiner ID button 5B are arranged on the upper side of the operation button display area 412. Here, the mode button 1B, the RK mode display / setting button 2B, and the TP mode display / setting button 3B form a triple mode button, similar to the first embodiment.

[0081] At the upper left side of operation button display area 412, from the top, an R button 6B, a chin rest up / down movement button 12B, and an end button 9B are arranged.

[0082] On the right side of the operation button display area 412, from the top, an L button 14B, a measuring head forward / backward button 21B, a start button 20B, and an auto / manual button 22B are arranged.

[0083] Arranged on the bottom side of the operation button display area 412, from left to right, are a cataract button 16B, a fixation target button 19B, a FOG button 18B, a display all data button 8B, a print button 13B, a corneal diameter button 17B, and a clear all measurement values ​​button 7B.

[0084] The measurement status display section 413 is located at the bottom left side of the operation button display area 412 and displays the measurement status in simple English characters. The simple English character display section has a measurement mode display section MA, a first measurement item display section IA, and a second measurement item display section IB. The measurement mode display section MA displays "R / K" indicating R / K measurement mode or "T / P" indicating T / P measurement mode. The first measurement item display section IA displays "KRT" indicating kerato measurement or "TONO" indicating tonometer measurement. The second measurement item display section IB displays "REF" indicating refractometer measurement or "PACHY" indicating pachymeter measurement.

[0085] Next, the setting action of the measurement mode, measurement items, and eye to be measured by touch operation in the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0086] After turning on the power switch 112, tap the mode button 1B located at the center of the top side of the operation button display area 412. When this tapping operation is performed, a second measurement mode selection screen 72 that displays the measurement modes and measurement items all at once is displayed superimposed on the anterior eye image display area 411 of the display screen 41, as shown in FIG.

[0087] 13, the second measurement mode selection screen 72 has, as individual selection buttons, a REF measurement button 91B and a KERAT measurement button 92B in the R / K measurement mode, and a TON measurement button 93B and a PAC measurement button 94B in the T / P measurement mode. Other buttons include an OK button 95B and a CANCEL button 96B.

[0088] In the first embodiment, the first measurement mode selection screen 71 is shown in a format in which the measurement mode, measurement items, and measurement eye settings are integrated, but in the second embodiment, the measurement mode and measurement item settings are separated from the measurement eye settings. The reasons for this are, firstly, that by setting the measurement mode and measurement items for each eye while observing the state of the subject P and performing measurements, the examiner can perform measurements while concentrating on the subject P. Secondly, in facilities where measurement items rarely differ between both eyes, being able to set only the measurement mode and measurement items does not interfere with normal medical treatment.

[0089] Setting of the measurement mode and measurement items is performed by the REF measurement button 91B, the KERAT measurement button 92B, the TON measurement button 93B, the PACIFIC measurement button 94B, the RK mode display / setting button 2B, and the TP mode display / setting button 3B.

[0090] Setting the eye to be measured is shared between the R button 6B and the L button 14B. When setting both the left and right eyes, the R button 6B and the L button 14B are displayed without a lock icon, as shown in Fig. 14A. On the other hand, when setting one eye, for example, only the left eye, the lock icon IK is displayed partially overlapping the R button 6B by lock icon processing, and the L button 14B is displayed without a lock icon, as shown in Fig. 14B.

[0091] Next, the measurement status display operation when setting operation cases #1 to #4 are selected on the second measurement mode selection screen 72 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15A to 15D.

[0092] Setting operation case #1 occurs when the REF measurement button 91B and the KERAT measurement button 92B of the R / K measurement mode are set by touch operation on the second measurement mode selection screen 72. In setting operation case #1, as shown in Fig. 15A, "RK" is displayed on the RK mode display / setting button 2B, and "R / K" is displayed on the measurement mode display section MA of the measurement status display section 413. This display on the display screen 41 allows visual confirmation that the R / K measurement mode (REF measurement, KERAT measurement) has been set.

[0093] Setting operation case #2 occurs when only the REF measurement button 91B in the R / K measurement mode is set by touch operation on the second measurement mode selection screen 72. In setting operation case #2, as shown in Fig. 15B, "RK" is displayed on the RK mode display / setting button 2B, and "REF" is displayed on the second measurement item display section IB of the measurement status display section 413. This display on the display screen 41 makes it possible to visually confirm that REF measurement in the R / K measurement mode has been set.

[0094] If you want to set only the REF measurement in the R / K measurement mode, touch the RK mode display / setting button 2B and the second measurement item display section IB. By touching a button that is not on this second measurement mode selection screen 72, you can also perform temporary manual settings without opening the second measurement mode selection screen 72.

[0095] Setting operation case #3 occurs when the reflex measurement button 91B in the R / K measurement mode and the tono measurement button 93B in the T / P measurement mode are touched on the second measurement mode selection screen 72. In setting operation case #3, as shown in FIG. 15C , during measurement in the R / K measurement mode, "RK" is displayed on the RK mode display / setting button 2B, and "REF" is displayed on the second measurement item display section IB of the measurement status display section 413. When the R / K measurement mode ends and the mode transitions to the T / P measurement mode, the measurement status display section 413 switches to the T / P measurement mode display, and "TONO" is displayed on the first measurement item display section IA. This display on the display screen 41 allows visual confirmation that the mode transitions from the reflex measurement in the R / K measurement mode to the tono measurement in the T / P measurement mode.

[0096] Setting operation case #4 occurs when the Tono measurement button 93B and Pachy measurement button 94B of the T / P measurement mode are set by touch operation on the second measurement mode selection screen 72. In setting operation case #4, as shown in Fig. 15D, "TP" is displayed on the TP mode display / setting button 3B, and "T / P" is displayed on the measurement mode display area MA of the measurement status display unit 413. This display on the display screen 41 allows visual confirmation that the T / P measurement mode (Tono measurement, Pachy measurement) has been set.

[0097] Next, the transition to a non-selected T / P measurement mode by a long press operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 16A and 16B.

[0098] In setting operation case #1 (upper left of Fig. 16A), "RK" is displayed on the RK mode display / setting button 2B, and "R / K" is displayed on the measurement mode display section MA of the measurement status display section 413 (lower left of Fig. 16A). When measurement is not being performed in the R / K measurement mode, pressing and holding the TP mode display / setting button 3B (lower center of Fig. 16A) switches the measurement head from the R / K measurement head 12b to the T / P measurement head 12a.

[0099] By switching the measurement head, the button that is lit changes from the RK mode display / setting button 2B to the TP mode display / setting button 3B. At the same time, the display in the measurement status display section 413 also changes from the R / K measurement mode display to the T / P measurement mode display, and "T / P" is displayed lit in the measurement mode display section MA (lower right part of Figure 16A).

[0100] Therefore, if the mode button 1B is tapped during measurement, the second measurement mode selection screen 72 is displayed (top right of FIG. 16A). On the second measurement mode selection screen 72, the REF measurement button 91B and the KERAT measurement button 92B for the R / K measurement mode, and the TON measurement button 93B and the PACIFIC measurement button 94B for the T / P measurement mode are lit.

[0101] In setting operation case #2 (upper left of Fig. 16B), "RK" is displayed on the RK mode display / setting button 2B, and "REF" is displayed on the second measurement item display section IB of the measurement status display section 413 (lower left of Fig. 16B). When measurement is not being performed in R / K measurement mode, pressing and holding the TP mode display / setting button 3B (lower center of Fig. 16B) switches the measurement head from the R / K measurement head 12b to the T / P measurement head 12a.

[0102] By switching the measurement head, the button that is lit changes from the RK mode display / setting button 2B to the TP mode display / setting button 3B. At the same time, the display in the measurement status display section 413 also changes from the R / K measurement mode display to the T / P measurement mode display, and "T / P" is displayed lit in the measurement mode display section MA (lower right part of Figure 16B).

[0103] Therefore, if you tap the mode button 1B during measurement, the second measurement mode selection screen 72 will be displayed (top right of FIG. 16B). On the second measurement mode selection screen 72, only the reflex measurement button 91B for the R / K measurement mode and the tono measurement button 93B and pachy measurement button 94B for the T / P measurement mode will be lit.

[0104] As described above, the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 of the second embodiment provides the following effects in addition to the effects (1), (2), (5), and (6) above.

[0105] (7) The composite measurement head 12 includes a T / P measurement head 12a used in the T / P measurement mode and an R / K measurement head 12b used in the R / K measurement mode. The monitor unit 40 has a TP mode display / setting button 3B for displaying / setting the T / P measurement mode and an RK mode display / setting button 2B for displaying / setting the R / K measurement mode in the operation button display area 412. When one of the T / P measurement mode and the R / K measurement mode is not set, the main control unit 17 switches the measurement head and transitions to the measurement mode that is not set by pressing and holding the other measurement mode display / setting button.

[0106] For example, when a measurement in the set R / K measurement mode is not being performed, pressing and holding the TP mode display / setting button 3B, which is not set, switches the composite measurement head 12 to the T / P measurement head 12a and transitions to the T / P measurement mode, which is not set. Therefore, when you want to transition to a measurement mode that is not set during measurement, you can simply press and hold one button and omit the setting operation for the second measurement mode selection screen 72, which is displayed by tapping the mode button 1B. [Example]

[0107] The third embodiment is an example in which at least one of the measurement order and the number of measurements can be set when setting measurement items on the measurement mode selection screen.

[0108] Next, the setting operation of the measurement mode, measurement item, eye to be measured, measurement order, and number of measurements by tapping operation in the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0109] After turning on the power switch 112, tap the mode button 1B located at the center of the top side of the operation button display area 412. When this tapping operation is performed, a third measurement mode selection screen 73 that displays the measurement mode and measurement items all at once is displayed superimposed on the anterior eye image display area 411 of the display screen 41, as shown in FIG.

[0110] As shown in Fig. 17, the third measurement mode selection screen 73 has an R button 6B as a right eye selection button and an L button 14B as a left eye selection button. Also, as individual selection buttons, there are a Reflex measurement button 91B and a Kerato measurement button 92B in the R / K measurement mode, and a Tono measurement button 93B and a Pachy measurement button 94B in the T / P measurement mode, for each of the left and right eyes. Furthermore, there are a number setting button 97B for the right eye and a number setting button 98B for the left eye, for each of the four measurement buttons. Other buttons include an OK button 95B and a Cancel button 96B.

[0111] To set the measurement mode, touch the Reflex button 91B and the Kerato button 92B for both or one eye to set the R / K measurement mode. Touch the Tono button 93B and the Pachy button 94B for both or one eye to set the T / P measurement mode.

[0112] When the measurement item is set by touching only the Reflex measurement button 91B or the Kerato measurement button 92B for both eyes or one eye, only one measurement item is set in the R / K measurement mode. When the measurement item is set by touching only the Tono measurement button 93B or the Pachy measurement button 94B for both eyes or one eye, only one measurement item is set in the T / P measurement mode.

[0113] To set both eyes, tap both the R button 6B and the L button 14B. To set one eye, tap either the R button 6B or the L button 14B for the eye you want to set.

[0114] The measurement order is set by tapping the number setting buttons 97B, 98B to the measurement order (1 to 8), for example, by the number of times each of the eight number setting buttons 97B, 98B is tapped, as shown in Fig. 18. In the example shown in Fig. 18, No. 1 is the right kerato measurement, No. 2 is the right reflex measurement, No. 3 is the right pachy measurement, No. 4 is the right tono measurement, No. 5 is the left kerato measurement, No. 6 is the left reflex measurement, No. 7 is the left pachy measurement, and No. 8 is the left tono measurement.

[0115] The number of measurements is set by, for example, tapping each of the eight number setting buttons 97B and 98B as shown in Fig. 19. In the example shown in Fig. 19, the right kerato measurement is performed three times, the right reflex measurement is performed three times, the right pachy measurement is performed two times, the right tono measurement is performed one time, the left kerato measurement is performed three times, the left reflex measurement is performed three times, the left pachy measurement is performed two times, and the left tono measurement is performed one time.

[0116] Here, the measurement order and the number of measurements may be set either alone or both. When both are set, for example, the third measurement mode selection screen 73 is switched between a measurement order setting mode screen and a measurement number setting mode screen.

[0117] As described above, the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 of the third embodiment provides the following effects in addition to the effects (1) to (7) above.

[0118] (8) The main control unit 17 configures the third measurement mode selection screen 73, which is displayed when setting the measurement mode and measurement items, as a display screen that allows the user to set the measurement order of the measurement items. Therefore, by operating the third measurement mode selection screen 73, the user can set the measurement order when measuring multiple measurement items consecutively.

[0119] (9) The main control unit 17 configures the third measurement mode selection screen 73, which is displayed when setting the measurement mode and measurement items, as a display screen that allows the number of measurements for each measurement item to be set. Therefore, when measuring multiple measurement items, the number of measurements for each measurement item can be set by operating the third measurement mode selection screen 73.

[0120] The ophthalmic apparatus of the present invention has been described above based on Examples 1 to 3. However, the specific configuration is not limited to these Examples. Changes and additions to the design are permitted as long as they do not deviate from the gist of the invention according to each claim in the scope of the claims.

[0121] In Examples 1 to 3, an example of an ophthalmologic apparatus 1 equipped with a composite measurement head 12 using a T / P measurement head 12a (first measurement head) and an R / K measurement head 12b (second measurement head) as the measurement head has been shown. However, the measurement head is not limited to the composite measurement head used in Examples 1 to 3, and may be any measurement head that has multiple measurement modes and multiple measurement items and in which the measurement mode and measurement items can be changed before or during measurement. In addition to the T / P measurement head and R / K measurement head, various ocular characteristic measurement heads for the subject eye may also be used, such as a corneal shape measurement head, a fundus photography head, an axial length measurement head, an endothelial cell measurement head, etc.

[0122] In Example 1, an example of a first measurement mode selection screen 71 was shown as the measurement mode selection screen, on which the measurement mode, measurement items, and measurement eye settings can be freely set by touching a button. In Example 2, an example of a second measurement mode selection screen 72 was shown as the measurement mode selection screen, in which the measurement mode and measurement items settings were separated from the measurement eye settings. In Example 3, an example of a third measurement mode selection screen 73 was shown as the measurement mode selection screen, on which at least one of the measurement order and the number of measurements can be set. However, the measurement mode selection screen is not limited to these examples, and a measurement mode selection screen with various changes in display format may also be used. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, a fourth measurement mode selection screen 74 may be used, on which the measurement mode, measurement items, and measurement eye can be selected one by one. Note that the symbols in FIG. 20 are the same as those used in the first measurement mode selection screen 71.

[0123] In Examples 1 to 3, a measurement mode selection screen is displayed by tapping the mode button, and the measurement mode and measurement items to be performed on the subject's eye are set by touching the display items on the measurement mode selection screen. Once the measurement mode and measurement items are set, the set measurement mode and measurement items are displayed in the measurement status display section. However, a memory call function may be added to Examples 1 to 3 for the display of the measurement mode selection screen or the display of the measurement status display section, so that the display after the setting is automatically called depending on the day of the week and date and time, or the display after the setting is automatically called by simply performing a call operation. Here, the "memory call function" refers to a function that stores the measurement mode and measurement items to be performed for a specific prescription by a memory operation when the measurement mode and measurement items are set, and then automatically calls or displays the stored measurement mode and measurement items from the next time by a call operation. For example, if the day of the week and date and time for measurement are specified for a prescription by a glaucoma specialist, eyeglass prescription, contact lens prescription, etc., the day of the week and date and time are stored along with the settings, and an automatic call is used to automatically call the settings when the stored day of the week and date and time arrive. Also, for example, in the case of a normal basic eyeglass prescription in which the day of the week or date and time of measurement is not specified, a call operation is used to call up the stored settings by pressing a button, etc. This memory call function eliminates the need to go to the setup screen each time a measurement starts and to repeatedly press buttons to select measurement items one by one from the initial settings, thereby reducing the operational burden on the examiner.

[0124] In Examples 1 to 3, the display screen 41 of the monitor unit 40 attached to the device main body 10 serves as the operation unit 19, and an example of the ophthalmic device 1 in which the subject P and the examiner perform measurements while facing each other in close proximity has been described. However, the operation unit may be, for example, a detachable monitor unit, which the examiner can carry out and remotely operate from a separate room. Furthermore, an external device such as a personal computer, tablet terminal, smartphone, or other information terminal or dedicated terminal with a touch panel display may serve as the monitor unit, separate from the monitor unit attached to the device main body, and may be connected to the device main body via wireless communication. In this case, by installing the external device serving as the monitor unit in a desired location away from the ophthalmic device, ophthalmic measurements can be performed remotely while visually checking the subject's condition from the remote location where the external device is installed.
