Abstract

See full text

An ophthalmic apparatus includes an AOSLO apparatus, a WFSLO apparatus, and a tracking processor that controls a tracking mirror based on position information calculated from AOSLO and WFSLO images. In another embodiment, the tracking processor controls the tracking mirror based on position information calculated from WFSLO images only. Depending on the amount of movement a target image with respect to a reference image, and the accuracy of detection thereof, the tracking mirror of either the AOSLO apparatus or the WFSLO apparatus can be selectively controlled according to a difference in position of the target image with respect to the reference image.
