Ophthalmic photographing apparatus

A method for obtaining a tomographic image of a fundus of an examinee's eye by optical coherence tomography, the method comprising the steps of:

• obtaining three-dimensional OCT image information on the fundus by the optical coherence tomography that scans measurement light;
• obtaining a two-dimensional OCT image of the fundus in directions perpendicular to a depth direction of the eye from the fundus three-dimensional OCT image information;
• obtaining a color still image of the fundus that is photographed by a fundus camera;
• establishing a positional correspondence between the fundus two-dimensional OCT image and the fundus color still image by matching the fundus two-dimensional OCT image and the fundus color still image;
• and
• displaying the fundus color still image on a display, setting a position of the fundus tomographic image to be obtained by using the displayed fundus color still image, and obtaining the fundus tomographic image based on information on the set position and the fundus three-dimensional OCT image information.
