Abstract

See full text

It has been very cumbersome to determine whether or not alignment is required before the fundus image is acquired after the tomographic image is acquired, causing the reduction in diagnostic efficiency. An ophthalmic apparatus is provided to solve this problem, which comprises an irradiation unit that irradiates an eye to be inspected with a first beam for acquiring a tomographic image of the eye and a second beam for acquiring a fundus image of the eye, the second beam having a beam diameter larger than the beam diameter of the first beam; and a determination unit that, based on information indicating a shift amount between an irradiation position of the first beam in the eye and an ocular axis of the eye, determines whether or not the irradiation position of the second beam falls within a range in which the fundus image can be acquired.
