Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an ophthalmologic apparatus capable of efficiently switching between an attitude for packing and an attitude for eye examination. When a USB communication between the ophthalmologic apparatus and a PC for control is disconnected, an attitude of the ophthalmologic apparatus is switched from the attitude for eye examination to the attitude for packing. Even when the USB communication between the ophthalmologic apparatus and the PC for control is established, if there is no operation for a certain period of time, the attitude for eye examination is switched to the attitude for packing. When power of the ophthalmologic apparatus is turned off, the attitude for eye examination is switched to the attitude for packing, using a spare power supply provided to a main body of the ophthalmologic apparatus.
