- the refraction measuring apparatus capable of measuring both the right and left eyes to be examined as described in the above embodiment includes a free-form surface prism that measures the interpupillary distance (PD value) of the left and right eyes and matches the acquired PD value.
- a configuration for moving the optical system may be provided.
- a scale for measuring the PD value on the outside of the apparatus, measure the PD value by an examiner or the like, and move each optical system in the left and right direction in accordance with the measurement.
- the pupils of the left and right eyes to be inspected are detected from the image of the eye to be imaged by the CCD, and the distance between the centers of the pupils is calculated to obtain the PD value.
- a means for driving the left and right optical systems independently in the left and right direction such as an ultrasonic motor
- the refraction measuring device described above as an embodiment of the present invention is an example of a specific configuration for describing the gist of the present invention in detail, and arbitrary modifications and additions can be made within the gist of the gist.
- the refraction measuring apparatus which can perform the refraction measurement of the eye to be examined in the state which is looking at the object outside the apparatus, such as the environment around the subject and the image Can be provided.
- a refraction measuring device capable of performing refraction measurement of an eye to be examined in a more natural posture.
