Abstract
An ophthalmic device that includes an image capturing unit configured to capture a tomographic image of a crystalline lens of a subject eye; a processor; and a memory storing computer-readable instructions therein. The computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to execute: detecting a boundary between tissues in a tomographic image of the crystalline lens of the subject eye captured by the image capturing unit; determining whether the tissues defined by the boundary include an abnormality; and analyzing an analysis item associated with the abnormality.
Claims4
An ophthalmic device comprising:
- an image capturing unit configured to capture a tomographic image of a crystalline lens of a subject eye;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing computer-readable instructions therein,
- wherein
- the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute:
- detecting a boundary between tissues in a tomographic image of the crystalline lens of the subject eye captured by the image capturing unit, wherein the tissues include a nucleus and a tissue different from the nucleus;
- determining whether each of the tissues defined by the boundary includes an abnormality;
- and
- for each of at least one of the tissues in which the abnormality is detected, creating a two-dimensional image, the two-dimensional image being a front image of the tissue created by extracting only the tissue in which the abnormality is detected, the front image being an En-face image, and
- analyzing an analysis item associated with the abnormality based on the created two-dimensional image.
