2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a measurement index is projected on a cornea of a subject's eye,
Among keratometers that measure the radius of curvature of the cornea based on the corneal reflection image, there are keratometers that measure the radius of curvature not only of the central portion of the cornea but also of the corneal portion deviated from the center of the cornea, that is, the peripheral portion of the cornea. As a method of measuring the peripheral part of the cornea, a measurement index used for the peripheral part measurement is provided separately from the measurement index used for the central part measurement, or a fixation target for the peripheral part of the cornea is provided and provided to the eye to be examined. By causing the fixation, the cornea of the eye to be examined is displaced with respect to the measurement index,
There has been a method of performing measurement using a measurement index projected on a peripheral portion of a displaced cornea of a subject's eye.

However, in the method of separately providing the measurement index for measuring the peripheral portion of the cornea, the measurement index for measuring the peripheral portion must be provided outside the measurement index for measuring the central portion. There was a problem that the index projection unit had to be enlarged. In addition, since the measurement index is projected on the periphery of the eye to be examined that fixes the front, the measurement index projection light for the peripheral measurement may be partially affected by the effect of the eyelids, and measurement may not be possible. There was also a problem that was large.

On the other hand, in the method of providing a fixation target for measuring the peripheral part of the cornea, the fixation target is provided separately from the measurement optical system because the fixation target is provided at a position far away from the optical axis of the apparatus. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a fixation target at a position close to the subject's eye so that the fixation target can be easily seen from the subject's eye. In this case, the fixation target is arranged to be easily fixated even from the opposite eye. When the eye on the opposite side fixes the fixation target, the subject's eye linked to the opposite eye does not fix the line of sight accurately in the fixation target direction. It may give a radius of curvature measurement.

This is a dichroic mirror that transmits external light and reflects visible light. The operation of the present apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. Light source 2
The emitted light passes through the space of the constituent member 1 and reaches the diffusion plate 3. The inner wall of the space of the component 1 is desirably a mirror surface in order to transmit the light amount of the light source 2 without waste. The light is diffused by the diffuser plate 3 without unevenness, and is radiated to the eye E as a ring-shaped index to form an index image R 'as a corneal reflection image on the cornea EC of the eye to be inspected. The index image R ′ is formed on the two-dimensional photodetector 10 via the imaging lens unit 8 and the movable stop 9 together with the anterior eye of the subject's eye. The movable diaphragm 9 is separated from the optical axis O during alignment,
It is inserted on the optical axis O when measuring the corneal curvature. The position of the movable stop 9 on the optical axis O is such that a measurement error may occur even if the working distance between the eye E and the diffuser 3 as an index changes as disclosed in JP-A-61-249432. It is the position where it decreases. Image information detected by the detection element 10 is processed by a signal processing circuit (not shown) and displayed on a monitor.

When measuring the central part of the cornea, the light source 11 is turned on and the dichroic mirror 14 and the lens 1 are placed on the eye E to be examined.
The fixation target 12 on the optical axis is fixated through 3. In this state, the examiner aligns the main body of the apparatus relative to the eye E in the up, down, left, right, and working distance directions while looking at the monitor. FIG. 5 shows an image on the monitor 15 in a state where the alignment is completed. After alignment is completed, detection element 1
From the image signal of the index image R 'in the video signal of 0, a corneal curvature radius is measured by a well-known method by a signal processing circuit (not shown). Thereby, the corneal curvature radius at the central portion of the cornea can be measured.

Next, when measuring the peripheral portion of the cornea, the light source 11
Is turned off, the light source existing in the direction opposite to the measurement direction on the cornea in the light source 4 emits visible light, and the light emitted from the opening 6 corresponding to this light source is fixed on the eye E. In this state, the examiner looks at the monitor and places the apparatus body on the eye E to be examined.
And relative alignment. FIG. 6 shows an image on the monitor 15 in a state where the alignment is completed.
After the alignment is completed, the corneal curvature radius is measured from the image signal of the index image R ′ in the video signal of the detection element 10 by a well-known method using a signal processing circuit (not shown). As a result, the corneal curvature radius at the peripheral portion of the cornea can be measured. If the shape of the cornea at the central portion of the cornea is measured in advance, the direction of the main radius line of the corneal astigmatism can be determined. Therefore, two light sources (diagonal directions) in the direction close to the main radius line of the light sources 4 and their directions Two light sources at right angles to the
Are sequentially emitted with visible light to measure the peripheral portion of the cornea, the radius of curvature of the peripheral portion of the cornea in the direction close to the main radial direction and in the direction perpendicular thereto can be determined.

When measuring the periphery of the cornea, the eye E ′ on the opposite side of the eye E to be examined
If the fixation target can also be fixed, the fixation target may be fixed at the opposite eye E 'as described above. However, in this embodiment, since the opening 6 is provided at the bottom of the groove 6a provided in the component 1, the opening 6 cannot be fixedly viewed from the direction of the eye E '. This allows
Accurate measurement of the corneal curvature radius at the periphery of the cornea becomes possible.

FIG. 8 is a view showing a modification of the constituent members of the above-mentioned apparatus. The measurement index portion is omitted because it is the same. The constituent member 16 is different from the constituent member 1 in that the light source 1 as a fixation target does not have the opening 6 serving as a fixation target.
The head of 7 protrudes from the bottom of the groove 16 a provided in the component 16. The fixation target cannot be fixed from the eye on the opposite side of the eye to be examined due to the effect of the groove 16a, as in the above-described embodiment. If the diameter of the head of the light source 17 is large, the viewpoint of the eye to be inspected may not be determined, and it may be difficult to measure. Therefore, it is desirable that the head of the light source 12 be as small as possible.

FIG. 9 is a view showing a further modification of the constituent members.

When the radius of the spherical surface is r, the LED chip is located at a position 2 / r from the top of the head. Therefore, since parallel light is projected from the LED 14 to the eye to be inspected, the eye on the opposite side to the eye to be inspected E cannot fixate. If the substrate 20 is a flexible substrate, it can be integrated with the LED substrate at another position.
