Abstract
There is provided an electric joystick for an ophthalmologic apparatus which exhibits a relatively small difference from operation of a manual joystick when performing alignment of an ophthalmologic apparatus. An ophthalmologic apparatus including an inspection unit which images or measures part of an eye to be inspected, a driving unit which moves the inspection unit, and an operation knob tiltable in an arbitrary direction includes a detection unit which detects a detected amount corresponding to the operation force applied to the operation knob in a case where the tilt angle of the operation knob tilted from a non-tilt position exceeds a predetermined angle, and a control unit which drives the driving unit in accordance with the detected amount detected by the detection unit.
Claims16
An ophthalmologic apparatus comprising:
- an inspection unit configured to inspect an eye to be inspected;
- a driving unit configured to move the inspection unit;
- a detection unit configured to detect an amount corresponding to an operation force applied to an operation unit in a case where a tilt angle of the operation unit tilted from a non-tilt position exceeds a predetermined angle;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the driving unit in accordance with the detected amount.
A method of controlling an ophthalmologic apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- detecting an amount corresponding to operation force applied to an operation unit, in a case where a tilt angle of the operation unit tilted from a non-tilt position exceeds a predetermined angle;
- and
- controlling a driving unit configured to move an inspection unit configured to inspect an eye to be inspected in accordance with the detected amount.
