Multifunctional ophtalmic apparatus

An ophthalmic apparatus comprising a plurality of optical devices including optical instruments, optical heads, or any combination thereof for measuring or evaluating a characteristic of an eye of a subject, each optical device of said plurality of optical devices having its own instrument optical axis, said plurality of optical devices being mounted on a frame comprising a base defining a resting plane for resting on a horizontal surface, and a carousel rotatable with respect to said frame about a carousel axis of rotation parallel to said resting plane, said plurality of optical devices being arranged on said carousel so that their respective instrument optical axes are parallel to said carousel axis of rotation, the apparatus comprising drive and control means, wherein:

• said carousel is supported by said frame so that said carousel axis of rotation is movable at least with respect to a height direction orthogonal to said resting plane;
• said control means being configured to perform a selective optical alignment of said plurality of optical devices with a patient's eye according to a laterality direction parallel to said resting plane and orthogonal to said rotation axis, by means of a position adjustment that combines a rotation of said carousel around said carousel axis of rotation and a displacement of said carousel axis along said height direction, wherein said carousel is supported by said frame such that said carousel axis of rotation is fixed to the frame with respect to said direction of laterality, and wherein one optical device of said plurality of optical devices is mounted on said carousel so as to be rotatable with respect thereto about said instrument optical axis of said one optical device relative to said carousel, wherein said one optical device is adapted to recover an inclination taken due to a corresponding rotation of the carousel about said carousel axis of rotation, by means of a counter-rotation of said one optical device about said instrument optical axis.
