ABSTRACT:
An ophthalmologic apparatus includes an optical system for illuminating a subject's eye, an optical system for observing the eye illuminated by the illumination optical system, an alignment detecting system for detecting the alignment of the observation optical system with the eye, and a switchover circuit for switching over a reference allowable range to another range. The observation optical system can observe the eye at at least two different magnifications. The alignment detecting system includes a sensor for receiving reflection light reflected by the eye, a circuit for setting a reference allowable range, an arithmetic circuit for processing a signal output by the sensor and detecting an alignment condition, and a judgment circuit for judging whether the alignment condition detected by the arithmetic circuit is within the reference allowable range set by the range setting circuit.
