Abstract

An apparatus includes a photoelectric conversion device having a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements for converting light to photoelectric conversion signals and for transferring the photoelectric conversion signals to adjacent photoelectric conversion elements. The apparatus also includes a transfer speed changing device for changing a transfer speed during a period of an accumulation operation of the photoelectric conversion device, making it possible to measure the luminance of an eye exactly in a short period of time.
