Abstract
An optical characteristic of an eye is obtained which can not be measured through a uniform adjustment because of a large difference in the distribution of a refractive index, or the like. An arithmetic part first selects an interlock mode, and performs an alignment adjustment. Next, the arithmetic part measures refraction, and interlocks and moves a first illumination optical system and a first light receiving optical system on the basis of the refraction. The arithmetic part obtains a density distribution of point images obtained from a first light receiving part, and judges whether a measurement can be made for each area on the basis of the density. The arithmetic part makes an adjustment so that an unmeasurable area becomes measurable, and creates a composite point image from plural signals obtained in a process of the adjustment. Further, the arithmetic part uses the composite point image to perform a Zernike analysis, obtains the optical characteristic and outputs it on a display part or the like.
