Abstract
In an ophthalmological apparatus, how scattering at an eye under measurement and a contact lens affects how the eye sees is shown by measuring scattering when the contact lens is worn and by comparing a retinal image obtained with aberration and the scattering taken into account and a retinal image obtained with only the aberration taken into account. An aberration measurement section obtains the aberration of the eye under measurement. An other-components measurement section obtains other components other than the aberration component based on a point light-source image caused by each Hartmann plate. A scattering-level calculation section obtains a coefficient expressing the level of scattering based on the other components and the aberration. A simulation section generates a retinal image or data indicating how the eye under measurement sees with the measured aberration and the other components taken into account, based on the aberration and the coefficient.
