[Figure 2] 1 is a block diagram showing an ophthalmic examination apparatus according to a first embodiment. [Figure 3] FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of an ophthalmologic apparatus system according to a first modified example. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, an ophthalmic apparatus and an ophthalmic apparatus system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on a first embodiment shown in the drawings.

[0011] As shown in FIG. 1, the ophthalmic device system 1 of Example 1 is constructed by an ophthalmic examination device 10 (ophthalmic device) installed in various facilities such as hospitals, clinics, and eyeglass stores, a personnel management system 20 that manages data necessary for personnel evaluation of examiners who operate the ophthalmic examination device 10, and a communication network 30 that connects these.

[0012] The ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 includes an ophthalmic examination unit 11, a user interface unit (UI unit) 12, a communication unit 13, and a control unit 14. These components may be provided integrally (in a single housing) or distributed across two or more housings. Examples of the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 include a refractometer, a keratometer, a tonometer, a specular microscope, a wavefront analyzer, a perimeter, a microperimeter, an optical coherence tomography (OCT), a fundus camera, and a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO). The refractometer and keratometer measure the refractive characteristics of the subject's eye (e.g., refractive power, corneal curvature, etc.). The tonometer measures the intraocular pressure of the subject's eye. The specular microscope measures the corneal characteristics of the subject's eye (e.g., corneal thickness, corneal endothelial cell distribution, corneal endothelial cell count, etc.). The wavefront analyzer measures aberration information of the eyeball of the subject's eye using a Hartmann-Shack sensor. The perimeter measures the visual field of the subject's eye. The microperimeter measures the luminosity of the subject's eye. The OCT uses optical interference to obtain cross-sectional images, three-dimensional data, and analytical data (hereinafter referred to as "OCT data") of the fundus, anterior segment, retina, etc. of the subject's eye. The fundus camera captures images of the fundus of the subject's eye. The SLO obtains images of the fundus of the subject's eye by laser scanning using a confocal optical system. Furthermore, the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 may be a subjective examination apparatus such as a visual acuity examination apparatus including an optotype presenting device and a phoropter.

[0013] The eye examination unit 11, under the control of the control unit 14, performs an examination (eye examination) of the subject's eye E and acquires various types of eye information. The eye information of the subject's eye E acquired by the eye examination unit 11 varies depending on the type of ophthalmic examination apparatus 10, and includes, for example, refractive characteristics, intraocular pressure, corneal characteristics, ocular aberration information, visual field, luminosity, OCT data, fundus images, anterior segment images, subjective examination results, and the like.

[0014] The eye examination unit 11 has at least one of a function to measure characteristics of the subject's eye E or a function to photograph the subject's eye E. As shown in FIG. 2, the eye examination unit 11 has an examination optical system 111 and mechanisms (such as an actuator and a power transmission mechanism) not shown. The examination optical system 111 includes an optical system for projecting light onto the subject's eye E and an optical system for detecting return light of the light projected onto the subject's eye E. The examination optical system 111 may also include an optical system for projecting a fixation target onto the subject's eye E, an optical system for performing alignment, an optical system for focusing, etc. Each of the various optical systems of the examination optical system 111 has an optical element 112, a projection system 113, and a light-receiving system not shown. Furthermore, the examination optical system 111 may have a processor for processing the detection results (image signals, video signals, etc.) of the return light detected by the light-receiving system.

[0015] The optical element 112 guides the light beam output from the projection system 113 to the subject's eye E. The optical element 112 includes any of various optical elements, such as a lens (an objective lens, etc.), a prism (an objective prism, etc.), a concave mirror (a parabolic mirror, etc.), or a glass plate.

[0016] The projection system 113 projects a light beam (examination light beam) for examining the eye E via the optical element 112 onto the eye E. The projection system 113 is provided with an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) 114 as needed. The LCD 114 operates under the control of the control unit 14. The LCD 114 displays information used in the examination (examination information: optotype, fixation target, etc.).

[0017] The light receiving system detects the return light of the light projected onto the subject's eye E. The light receiving system has a light receiving element such as a CCD as necessary, and transmits a signal received by the light receiving element or the like to the control unit 14 as eye information.

[0018] The user interface unit 12 is operated by the examiner and is used to input information and give operational instructions. The user interface unit 12 also serves as an input unit for inputting the subject's impressions (thoughts on the eye examination and customer satisfaction). The subject's impressions may be input by the examiner listening to the subject and inputting them, or the subject may input them themselves. The subject's impressions may be input by voice recognition using a voice input device 123, which will be described later. The subject's impressions may also be input as text by scanning a questionnaire. The user interface unit 12 also outputs (displays) information intended for the subject and the examiner. As shown in FIG. 2, the user interface unit 12 has an operation device 121, a display device 122, a voice input device 123, and a voice output device 124.

[0019] The operation device 121 is an operation device such as a button, key, joystick, knob, or operation panel provided on the housing of the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 or externally. The operation device 121 may also include an operation device (mouse, keyboard, trackpad, button, touch panel, etc.) of a personal computer or the like connected to the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10. The display device 122 is a display device such as a flat panel display. The audio input device 123 includes a microphone that converts audio information into an electrical signal and a circuit that processes the electrical signal converted by the microphone. The audio output device 124 includes, for example, a circuit that processes audio information (audio signal) to be output and a speaker that outputs the processed audio information.

[0020] The user interface unit 12 may be configured by a device such as a touch panel in which the operation device 121 and the display device 122 are integrated, or by a graphical user interface (GUI). The user interface unit 12 may also have a processor and a computer program for inputting information and issuing operational instructions based on the voice of an examiner or the like input from a voice input device 123. Furthermore, the user interface unit 12 may be configured in part or in whole by a personal computer, a mobile terminal, a television receiver, a smart television, or the like.

[0021] The communication unit 13 communicates data with the personnel management system 20 via the communication network 30. The method of data communication by the communication unit 13 is set arbitrarily depending on the communication network 30. The data communication by the communication unit 13 may be wired communication or wireless communication. Note that data transmitted and received by the communication unit 13 may be encrypted. In this case, for example, the control unit 14 includes an encryption processing unit that encrypts transmitted data and a decryption processing unit that decrypts received data.

[0022] The control unit 14 executes various controls and calculations. The control unit 14 includes a processor. In this specification, the term "processor" refers to a circuit such as a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or a programmable logic device (e.g., a simple programmable logic device (SPLD), a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), or a field programmable gate array (FPGA)). The control unit 14 executes various controls and calculations by reading and executing programs stored in a memory circuit or storage device (not shown). The control unit 14 may further include a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), a hard disk drive, a solid state drive, etc. The control unit 14 may be partially or entirely configured by a personal computer or a mobile terminal.

[0023] The control unit 14 is also provided with a work management unit 15. When the eye examination unit 11 performs an eye examination, the work management unit 15 monitors the work of the examiner involved in the eye examination and acquires work information that is information about the examiner's work. Furthermore, the work management unit 15 transmits the acquired work information to the personnel management system 20 via the communication network 30. The work information may be represented by numerical values ​​obtained by scoring various pieces of information, or may be represented by characters (text), symbols, etc.

[0024] The work information is information indicating the work performed by the examiner on the eye examination unit 11 when the eye examination is performed, the examiner's work time associated with the eye examination, information indicating the type of examiner, etc. Note that "information indicating the type of examiner" is information that specifies the work of the examiner, such as an examiner who works alone (solo), an examiner who is called by other examiners and provides support, an examiner who provides training on the operation of the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10, an examiner who tests the operation of the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10, or an examiner who supports other examiners in a group. In addition, the performance time of the eye examination can indicate the degree of redundancy in case of an unexpected event such as a problem.

[0025] Furthermore, the work management unit 15 may include at least the time the eye examination is performed, the difficulty of the eye examination, the importance of the eye examination, the duration of the eye examination, and the state of the eye examination unit 11 at the start of the eye examination in any of the work information sent to the personnel management system 20. Note that the "time the eye examination is performed" refers to the time the eye examination is performed. The "difficulty of the eye examination" refers to the difficulty of operation depending on the type of eye examination, the difficulty of operation depending on the subject's condition, the degree of disease, etc. The difficulty of the eye examination is set in advance depending on the type of eye examination, the subject's condition, the degree of disease, etc. The "importance of the eye examination" refers to the number of examination items. Generally, the more important an eye examination is deemed to be, the more examination items there are. The "state of the eye examination unit 11 at the start of the eye examination" refers to the setting state of the eye examination unit 11 when the eye examination starts.

[0026] Furthermore, the work management unit 15 may add weighting information corresponding to the time of the eye examination, the difficulty level of the eye examination, the importance of the eye examination, the duration of the eye examination, and the state of the eye examination unit 11 at the start of the eye examination to the work information and transmit the weighting information to the personnel management system 20. "Weighting information" is one piece of information used as a reference for personnel evaluation in the personnel management system 20. For example, the higher the weighting information, the higher the personnel evaluation.

[0027] That is, the work management unit 15 changes the weighting information depending on, for example, whether the "eye examination is performed during business hours or outside of business hours," and sets a higher weighting information for the examiner outside of business hours than for the examiner during business hours. The work management unit 15 also changes the weighting information depending on, for example, the possibility of a disease, whether a pinhole test is performed, and whether a cataract is likely due to a displayed reflecting image. The work management unit 15 also changes the weighting information depending on, for example, the "duration of the eye examination," and sets a higher weighting information the longer the duration. The work management unit 15 also changes the weighting information depending on, for example, the "importance of the eye examination," and sets a higher weighting information the more test items are included. The work management unit 15 also sets gradually lower weighting information depending on, for example, the "state of the eye examination unit 11 at the start of the eye examination" depending on whether the eye examination is performed from an off state, when the eye examination unit 11 is in a standby state, and when the eye examination unit 11 is in an action state.

[0028] The work management unit 15 may also include the subject's impressions input via the user interface unit 12 in the work information to be transmitted to the personnel management system 20. Furthermore, the work management unit 15 may add weighting information according to the subject's impressions (customer satisfaction level) to the work information and transmit it to the personnel management system 20.

[0029] The work management unit 15 may also include at least one of the examiner's attributes and the examinee's attributes in the work information transmitted to the personnel management system 20. The "examiner's attributes" include the examiner's status (e.g., employee, contract employee, freelancer, etc.) of the facility (hospital or eyeglass store) where the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 is installed, the examiner's affiliation, the examiner's experience (level of proficiency), the examiner's qualifications, the examiner's expertise based on the examiner's job title or role, the language the examiner can understand, whether or not a self-portrait is displayed, etc. The "examinee's attributes" include the examinee's age, medical history, underlying illness, difficulty of the examination, the language the examinee can understand, the examination location (home, clinic, etc.), etc. The work management unit 15 may also add weighting information according to the examiner's attributes or the examinee's attributes to the work information and transmit it to the personnel management system 20.

[0030] Furthermore, the information included in the work information by the work management unit 15 is not limited to the information described above. The information included in the work information and transmitted to the personnel management system 20 may be any information that has some effect on the examiner's work. For example, the work management unit 15 may include information such as the attributes of the eye examination, the equipment load of the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10, and the work content that can be determined from the examination record in the work information and transmit it to the personnel management system 20. The "attributes of the eye examination" are information indicating the type of examination, such as a fundus examination or a refraction examination, or the type of prescription, such as a progressive lens prescription or a contact lens prescription. The difficulty and duration of the eye examination vary depending on the attributes of the eye examination. The "equipment load of the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10" is information indicating the performance of the user interface unit 12 of the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10, such as the availability of voice input, video input, and text input. The workload of the examiner during the eye examination varies depending on the equipment load of the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10, which affects the duration of the eye examination. Furthermore, the "work content that can be determined from the examination record" refers to information that indicates the workload of the examiner that can be determined from, for example, audio recordings, video recordings, data records showing the examination status, character records written in the medical chart, etc. This information is input to the work management unit 15 using the user interface unit 12, etc.

[0031] The personnel management system 20 is a system that manages data necessary for personnel evaluation of examiners, and is used by evaluators who evaluate examiners. In addition to the data necessary for personnel evaluation, the personnel management system 20 may also manage data related to general personnel operations such as labor management and personnel information. The personnel management system 20 is a well-known system, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0032] The communication network 30 is a communication mechanism that connects the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 and the personnel management system 20 and enables mutual transmission of information between them. The communication network 30 may be the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), or a short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or Wi-Fi (registered trademark). Note that data communication via the communication network 30 may be wired communication using a cable or wireless communication.

[0033] The following describes the effects of the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 of the first embodiment.

[0034] Generally, the workload of the examiner in an eye examination performed by the eye examination unit 11 of the ophthalmic examination device 10 varies greatly depending on the contents of the examination, the condition of the examinee, and the like. For example, when performing an eye examination on an examinee who has poor vision due to a disease such as cataracts or other reasons, it is necessary to change the settings to match the condition, or the number of required examination items may increase. In addition, when performing an eye examination on an examinee with unstable eye accommodation, frame emphasis settings may be required. Furthermore, when testing for heterophoria or strabismus using binocular vision, settings must be different from those used when testing one eye at a time. Therefore, the examiner must perform tasks according to the situation at hand, and it is not possible to determine a uniform workload.

[0035] On the other hand, opportunities for examiners to remotely operate the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 are increasing, and the locations of examiners are diversifying. Therefore, it is difficult for evaluators who evaluate examiners to directly observe and check the work performed by the examiners and use this as a reference for their evaluation. However, unless the evaluators objectively evaluate the examiners, it is not possible to improve the examiners' motivation for their work.

[0036] In contrast, the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 of Example 1 includes an eye examination unit 11 that acquires eye information of the subject, and a work management unit 15 that acquires work information, which is information on the work of the examiner involved in the eye examination performed by the eye examination unit 11. When the eye examination is performed by the eye examination unit 11, the work management unit 15 acquires information on the work of the examiner involved in the eye examination (work information) and transmits the acquired work information to the personnel management system 20.

[0037] This allows the evaluator using the personnel management system 20 to perform personnel evaluation of the examiner based on the work information transmitted from the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10. In other words, the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 of Example 1 can link information about the examiner's work associated with the eye examination performed by the eye examination unit 11 to the personnel management system 20. As a result, the evaluator can objectively evaluate the examiner regardless of the examiner's location, and the examiner can receive reliable compensation commensurate with his or her work. Therefore, the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 can contribute to improving the examiner's motivation for work.

[0038] In addition, in the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 of Example 1, the work management unit 15 may include at least one of the time the eye examination is performed, the difficulty of the eye examination, the importance of the eye examination, the duration of the eye examination, and the state of the eye examination unit 11 at the start of the eye examination in the work information.

[0039] This allows the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 to transmit work information useful for personnel evaluation based on the work performed by the examiner to the personnel management system 20. This allows the evaluator to make a more accurate evaluation.

[0040] Furthermore, the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 of Example 1 has an input unit (user interface unit 12) for inputting the subject's impressions. The work management unit 15 may include the subject's impressions input via the user interface unit 12 in the work information. Therefore, the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 can include not only the operation details of the ophthalmic examination unit 11 performed by the examiner in association with the eye examination, but also the examiner's evaluation (customer satisfaction) by the subject who underwent the eye examination in the work information and transmit it to the personnel management system 20. Therefore, the evaluator can refer to the examiner's evaluation of the examiner when conducting a personnel evaluation of the examiner.

[0041] Furthermore, in the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 of Example 1, the work management unit 15 can include at least one of the examiner's attributes or the examinee's attributes in the work information. This allows the evaluator to understand the examiner's condition when the eye examination is performed in more detail. Furthermore, the evaluator can compare other work information, such as the examiner's work content and work time, with the examiner's attributes or the examinee's attributes to perform a more objective personnel evaluation.

[0042] Furthermore, in the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 of Example 1, the work management unit 15 may add weighting information based on any of the following items included in the work information sent to the personnel management system 20: "Time of eye examination," "Difficulty of eye examination," "Importance of eye examination," "Duration of eye examination," "State of the eye examination unit 11 at the start of the eye examination," "Subject's impressions," "Examiner's attributes," and "Subject's attributes."

[0043] As a result, the evaluator does not need to weight the work content when evaluating the examiner's performance based on the work information transmitted from the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10. This reduces the system load on the personnel management system 20.

[0044] A specific method for calculating work information when the work information is expressed as a numerical value by the work management unit 15 of the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 of the first embodiment will be described below.

[0045] Here, the work management unit 15 calculates the work information by dividing it into "work pay," "ability pay," and "special additional pay." The work pay is calculated based on the examiner's work content, work time, time of the eye examination, difficulty of the eye examination, importance of the eye examination, duration of the eye examination, and the state of the eye examination unit 11. Furthermore, the ability pay is calculated based on the examiner's type (years of service, qualifications, experience, etc.), the examinee's impressions, the examiner's attributes, and the examinee's attributes. The special additional pay is calculated based on the attributes of the eye examination, the equipment load of the ophthalmic examination device 10, the work content that can be determined from the examination records, etc.

[0046] The work management unit 15 pre-sets the calculation rules for work pay, ability pay, and special additional pay, for example, as follows. Work pay is divided into "standard work pay" and "additional work pay," with the additional work pay serving as weighting information. Furthermore, ability pay is divided into "standard ability pay" and "additional ability pay," with the added ability pay serving as weighting information. Furthermore, all special additional pay is weighting information.

[0047] During the examiner's working hours, if a preset standard test is performed by one examiner within the standard time using the eye examination unit 11 in action mode, and the examinee is in the preset "standard state," one point will be added to the work pay as standard work pay. Note that the "standard state" of the examinee means a state in which the required test can be performed according to the standard settings. If the settings of the eye examination unit 11 need to be changed from the standard settings depending on the condition of the subject, the condition of the subject is judged to be "in a state requiring adjustment" and one point is added to the work allowance as an additional work allowance. - An additional work allowance will be added to the work allowance, which will be set appropriately depending on the difficulty, importance, and duration of the eye examination. The additional points that will become the additional work allowance will vary depending on the difficulty, importance, and duration of the eye examination. If an eye examination is conducted outside of the examiner's working hours, the working wage will be multiplied by 1.5 as an additional working wage. If the eye examination unit 11 is in the off state at the start of the eye examination, the work pay is doubled as an additional work pay. If the eye examination department 11 is in standby mode at the start of the eye examination, the work allowance will be multiplied by 1.2 as an additional work allowance. All examiners will receive a standard merit pay of 0.2 points. Each examiner is assigned a pre-set ability pay rank, which is quantified based on the examiner's type, length of service, qualifications, experience, etc., and the difference between the standard ability pay (0.2 points) and the ability pay rank is added to the ability pay as additional ability pay. Depending on the matching status between the subject's attributes and the test's attributes, an additional ability-based pay will be added to the ability-based pay. The additional points that will be added to the ability-based pay will vary depending on the attribute matching status. Depending on the subject's impressions, an appropriate additional work allowance will be added to the work allowance. In addition, depending on the content of the impressions, the additional points that become the additional ability allowance will be changed. The special surcharge is added to the work information as appropriate depending on the attributes of the eye examination, the equipment load of the ophthalmic examination device 10, the work content that can be determined from the examination record, etc.

[0048] For example, consider a situation where a veteran eye examiner with 10 years of experience (ability pay rank 0.4) is conducting a standard eye examination that can be completed within five minutes using the eye examination unit 11, a binocular combination device capable of performing both subjective and objective eye examinations, and the subject's condition is such that the difference in spherical power between the left and right eyes is 3D or more. In this case, the size of the images in the left and right eyes will be different, so the examiner will need to perform an inequality test and check again for any discomfort. As a result, the subject's condition will be classified as "needing adjustment." In addition, the examination time will be approximately five minutes longer than the standard time (five minutes).

[0049] In this case, the work management unit 15 first adds 1 point to the work pay as the standard work pay, and then adds 1 point as an additional work pay because the subject is in a "condition requiring adjustment." The work management unit 15 also adds 0.2 points to the ability pay as the standard ability pay, and then, because the ability pay rank is 0.4, adds 0.2 points, which is the difference between the ability pay rank and the standard ability pay, as an additional ability pay.

[0050] That is, the work information sent to the personnel management system 20 is calculated by the following formula (1). Work information = 1 + 1 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 2.4 (1)

[0051] Next, consider a situation in which a veteran eye examiner (ability pay rank 0.6) with 20 years of experience is conducting a standard eye examination that can be completed within five minutes using the eye examination unit 11, a binocular combination device capable of performing both subjective and objective tests. The examinee is experiencing eye strain due to strabismus. In this case, the examiner must measure and adjust the strabismus and then check again for any discomfort. As a result, the examinee's condition becomes "adjustment required." Furthermore, the examination time is approximately five minutes longer than the standard time (five minutes). Furthermore, suppose that the examiner is on a one-month vacation in the UK and is conducting the eye examination by remotely operating the eye examination unit 11 in Tokyo. Furthermore, suppose that the time of the eye examination is 2:00 PM in Tokyo, which is 6:00 AM in the UK, so the examiner is working outside of working hours. Furthermore, suppose that the eye examination unit 11 is off at the start of the eye examination.

[0052] In such a case, the work management unit 15 first adds one point to the work pay as the standard work pay, and then adds one point as an additional work pay because the subject is in a "condition requiring adjustment." Furthermore, the work management unit 15 multiplies the work pay by 1.5 as an additional work pay because the work was performed outside the examiner's working hours. Furthermore, the work management unit 15 doubles the work pay as an additional work pay because the eye examination unit 11 is in an off state. Then, the work management unit 15 adds 0.2 points to the ability pay as the standard ability pay, and further adds 0.4 points, which is the difference between the ability pay rank and the standard ability pay, as an additional ability pay.

[0053] That is, the work information sent to the personnel management system 20 is calculated by the following formula (2). Work information = (1 + 1) × 1.5 × 2 + 0.2 + 0.4 = 6.6 (2)

[0054] Next, consider a situation where, for example, a regular examiner (ability pay rank 0.2) with two years of experience in optometry conducts a standard test that can be completed within five minutes using the eye examination unit 11, a binocular multifunction device that can perform subjective and objective tests, and the state of the eye examination unit 11 at the start of the eye examination is in a standby state when the examinee's condition is "standard condition." Furthermore, assume that the examinee's attributes are Vietnamese and the examiner's attributes are a resident of Vietnam who is fluent in Vietnamese.

[0055] In this case, the Vietnamese examinee is examined by an examiner who is fluent in Vietnamese, so the examinee's workload is low, and the work management unit 15 determines that the match between the examiner's attributes and the examinee's attributes is "high." Therefore, no additional performance pay is generated for the attribute match. In other words, the work management unit 15 simply adds one point to the performance pay as the standard performance pay. However, because the eye examination unit 11 is in a standby state, the work management unit 15 multiplies the performance pay by 1.2 as an additional performance pay. Furthermore, because the difference between the performance pay rank and the standard performance pay is zero, the work management unit 15 adds 0.2 points to the performance pay as the standard performance pay.

[0056] That is, the work information sent to the personnel management system 20 is calculated by the following formula (3). Work information = 1 × 1.2 + 0.2 = 1.4 (3)

[0057] In this way, the work management unit 15 calculates and quantifies work information according to the situation when the examiner performs the work in accordance with preset calculation rules, and transmits the calculated information to the personnel management system 20. The work management unit 15 sets calculation rules for work information in advance and quantifies and displays the work information, thereby making it possible to objectively obtain work information. Furthermore, the work management unit 15 can appropriately add weighting information to the work information, thereby increasing the objectivity of the work information.

[0058] The ophthalmic apparatus system 1 of the first embodiment includes an ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 having an eye examination unit 11 that acquires eye information of a subject and a work management unit 15 that acquires work information of an examiner involved in the eye examination, a personnel management system 20 that manages data necessary for personnel evaluation of the examiner, and a communication network 30 that connects the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 and the personnel management system 20 and enables mutual transmission of information. The work management unit 15 transmits the work information to the personnel management system 20 via the communication network 30.

[0059] As a result, regardless of the location where the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 or the personnel management system 20 is installed, information on the examiner's work associated with the eye examination performed by the eye examination unit 11 can be linked to the personnel management system 20. Furthermore, even if the examiner remotely operates the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 from a location different from the installation location of the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10, the ophthalmic examination apparatus 10 can transmit appropriate work information to the personnel management system 20. In other words, even if the number of eye examinations performed remotely increases, it is possible to ensure objective personnel evaluations.

[0060] The ophthalmic device and ophthalmic device system of the present invention have been described above based on Example 1, but the specific configuration is not limited to this Example, and design changes and additions are permitted as long as they do not deviate from the gist of the invention according to each claim in the claims.

[0061] In the ophthalmic apparatus system 1 of the first embodiment, an example has been shown in which each of the multiple ophthalmic examination apparatuses 10 is equipped with the work management unit 15, but this is not limiting. For example, as in an ophthalmic apparatus system 1A of a first modified example shown in Fig. 3, multiple ophthalmic examination apparatuses 10A each having an eye examination unit 11 may be connected to a work management unit 15A installed separately from each of the ophthalmic examination apparatuses 10A via a communication network 30. In this case, the personnel management system 20 is also connected to the communication network 30.

[0062] In the ophthalmologic apparatus system 1A of the first modified example, the work management unit 15A acquires work information of the examiner involved in the eye examination performed by each of the eye examination units 11 of the multiple ophthalmologic examination apparatuses 10A via the communication network 30. Then, the work management unit 15A transmits the acquired work information to the personnel management system 20 via the communication network 30.

[0063] Therefore, the ophthalmologic apparatus system 1A of the first modified example can collectively manage the work information acquired by the plurality of ophthalmologic examination apparatuses 10A by the work management unit 15A. [Explanation of symbols]
