Abstract

An ophthalmic laser treatment apparatus irradiates therapeutic laser light to tissue of a patient's eye each time an execution instruction for irradiating the therapeutic laser light is input. The ophthalmic laser treatment apparatus includes: a laser irradiation optical system irradiating the therapeutic laser light to the patient's eye; an observation optical system causing an operator to observe an observation image of the patient's eye through an eyepiece lens; an internal display unit provided in the observation optical system and configured to display an image to the operator through the eyepiece lens; and a control unit.
