Abstract

PURPOSE:To make observations possible while an eye to be examined is accurately aligned with a lens for subjective examination so as to enhance the accuracy of examination by displaying on a monitor means both an image of the front portion of the eye to be examined and an image of the position of an optical system for subjective examination, and performing alignment so that the images adjust to each other. CONSTITUTION:A variable-focus optical member 1 is disposed opposite to an eye E to be examined, and a beam splitting member 2 and a target 3 for subjective detection are disposed on an optical axis 01 behind the member and the variable-focus optical member 1 and the beam splitting member 2 are supported on a casing 4. An objective refractometer 7 having a built-in measuring portion 5 and a built-in near infrared TV camera 6 for observation is disposed along the direction of reflection from the beam splitting member 2 and is placed on the casing 4 via a moving mechanism 8. The variable-focus optical member 1 is so designed that its focal distance can be varied as its radius of curvature is varied by pressing its peripheral edge with a metallic ring 1a, and, the beam splitting member 2 is e.g. a dichroic mirror that reflects near infrared light but transmits visible light.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of apparatus, there is a demand for a subjective eye examination apparatus capable of accurately aligning a lens for subjective examination with an eye to be examined. In the past, the examiner stood in front and aligned with the lens and the eye to be examined, but during that time, the subject could not see the optotype, so during the subjective examination, the alignment state should be maintained. There is a problem that it cannot be observed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a subjective eye examination apparatus according to the present invention, in which a variable focus optical member 1 is arranged facing an eye E to be examined, and a light splitting member 2 for detecting subjective awareness is arranged on an optical axis O1 behind the variable focus optical member 1. The optotype 3 is arranged, and the variable focus optical member 1 and the light splitting member 2 are arranged.
Are supported by the housing 4. In the reflection direction of the light splitting member 2, an objective refractometer 7 having a measuring unit 5 and a near-infrared television camera 6 for observation is arranged.
It is placed on the upper side via the moving mechanism 8. The variable focus optical member 1 is made of a transparent elastic material such as silicon,
The radius of curvature is changed by pressing the periphery with the metal ring 1a so that the focal length can be changed. For the light splitting member 2, for example, a dichroic mirror that reflects near infrared light and transmits visible light is used. .

The objective refractometer 7 can be aligned by moving the casing 4 by the moving mechanism 8.
And the distance can be kept unchanged. The eye E to be inspected is configured to see the optotype 3 in front through the variable focus optical member 1 and the light splitting member 2. In this case, the light splitting member 2 and the variable focus optical member 1 need to be integrated with the housing 4, but the visual target 3 does not necessarily have to be installed in the device. Further, an appropriate place between the eye E and the variable focus optical member 1, for example, the variable focus optical member 1 as shown in the figure.
The metal ring 1a is provided with a near-infrared illumination light source 9 for the TV camera 6, which is composed of, for example, a light emitting diode. FIG. 2 shows a screen S by the television camera 6, 1b is an edge portion of the variable focus optical member 1, and Ep is a pupil of the eye E to be inspected.

In the case of a subjective test, the variable focus optical member 1
The pupil Ep may be aligned so as to be substantially centered with respect to the edge 1b. At this time, the varifocal optical member 1 may be moved with respect to the housing 4 in the lateral direction perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 1, and the housing 4 itself may be moved in the vertical direction. This alignment accuracy is different from objective measurement because the luminous flux is large,
There is no practical problem even if it is a little rough.

In a device for performing a subjective examination with a binocular, one varifocal optical member 1 is provided on each of the left and right sides, and the varifocal optical member 1 is laterally moved to match the pupil distance. The subjective refraction measurement is performed by changing the focal length of the varifocal optical member 1. The distance between the eye E to be inspected and the varifocal optical member 1 may be adjusted by looking at the gap from the lateral direction as in the conventional case. The position of the forehead rest may be adjusted while looking at the screen S by the camera 6.

The alignment of the objective test is performed by the television camera 6
While looking at the screen S, the objective refractometer 7 is moved on the housing 4 by the moving mechanism 8 so that the mark M at the center of the optical axis in the television camera 6 reaches the center of the pupil Ep. Since the objective measurement is projected onto the eye E with a small light beam diameter, it is necessary to improve the alignment accuracy. Therefore, if a sliding mechanism that moves on the guide rail is adopted as the moving mechanism 8, the alignment can be performed with considerable accuracy. The alignment in the direction of the optical axis O1 may be performed by adjusting the forehead support and moving the face with respect to the device, as in the case of the subjective examination, so that the pupil Ep is aligned on the screen S at a position where the pupil Ep is not blurred. The near-infrared light from the measurement unit 5 is projected on the fundus Er of the eye E through the light splitting member 2 and the variable focus optical member 1, and the reflected light is photoelectrically processed by the objective refractometer 7 and objectively. The refraction value is obtained.

In the case of FIG. 1, the measuring unit 5 for objective measurement.
The optical axis O2 from the light splitting member 2 to the light splitting member 2 is slightly tilted with respect to the optical axis O1 in order to remove the reflected light from the varifocal optical member 1. The reflected light of the varifocal optical member 1 can be removed even by tilting.

If the near-infrared illumination light source 9 is provided between the eye E to be examined and the variable-focus optical member 1, it is convenient because there is no reflection of the variable-focus optical member 1, and since it is near-infrared light, the eye E to be examined E is also included.

In the conventional case, the examiner looks into the direction of the optical axis O1 and confirms the center of the eye E, so that it cannot be confirmed during the measurement.
