1. An ophthalmic system comprising a slit lamp microscope and an information processing apparatus that are connected to each other via a communication path, wherein (6) (2)

the slit lamp microscope comprises: an image acquisition device that acquires a three dimensional image by photographing a subject's eye; and

a first communication device that transmits the three dimensional image to the information processing apparatus, and

the information processing apparatus comprises: a second communication device that receives the three dimensional image transmitted by the first communication device;

a display controller that displays a first image based on the three dimensional image on a display device;

a partial region designation processor that designates a partial region of the first image; and

a rendering processor that renders the three dimensional image based on the partial region to construct a second image,

wherein the display controller displays the second image on the display device.

2. The ophthalmic system of claim 1, wherein (0) (2)

3. The ophthalmic system of claim 1, wherein the partial region designation processor analyzes at least one of the three dimensional image and the first image to designate the partial region. (0)

4. The ophthalmic system of claim 1, wherein (1) (2)

the image acquisition device comprises: an illumination system that illuminates the subject's eye with slit light;

an imaging system that guides returning light of the slit light from the subject's eye to an imaging device; and

a movement device that moves the illumination system and the imaging system, and

the ophthalmic system further comprises a three dimensional image construction processor that constructs a three dimensional image based on a plurality of cross sectional images acquired by the imaging device in parallel with movement of the illumination system and the imaging system.

5. The ophthalmic system of claim 4, wherein (1) (2)

the image acquisition device further comprises a focal position changer for changing at least one of a focal position of the illumination system and a focal position of the imaging system, and

the three dimensional image construction processor constructs a three dimensional image based on a plurality of cross sectional images acquired by the imaging device in parallel with both movement of at least one of the illumination system and the imaging system and change in at least one of the focal position of the illumination system and the focal position of the imaging system.

6. The ophthalmic system of claim 5, further comprising an operation mode designation device for designating an operation mode of the slit lamp microscope, wherein (0) (1)

7. The ophthalmic system of claim 1, wherein the display controller displays position information indicating a position of the second image on the display device. (0)

8. The ophthalmic system of claim 1, wherein (0) (2)

9. The ophthalmic system of claim 1, wherein (0) (2)

10. An ophthalmic information processing apparatus comprising: (0) (5)

a communication device that receives a three dimensional image acquired by photographing a subject's eye with a slit lamp microscope via a communication path;

a display controller that displays a first image based on the three dimensional image on a display device;

a partial region designation processor that designates a partial region of the first image; and

a rendering processor that renders the three dimensional image based on the partial region to construct a second image,

wherein the display controller displays the second image on the display device.

11. A method of processing ophthalmic information executed by an ophthalmic system comprising a slit lamp microscope and an information processing apparatus that are connected to each other via a communication path, the method comprising: (0) (7)

acquiring a three dimensional image by photographing a subject' eye with the slit lamp microscope;

transmitting the three dimensional image from the slit lamp microscope to the information processing apparatus;

receiving the three dimensional image with the information processing apparatus;

displaying a first image based on the three dimensional image on a display device;

designating a partial region of the first image;

constructing a second image by rendering the three dimensional image based on the partial region; and

displaying the second image on the display device.

12. A method of processing ophthalmic information executed by an information processing apparatus that is connected to a slit lamp microscope via a communication path, the method comprising: (0) (5)

receiving a three dimensional image acquired by photographing a subject's eye with the slit lamp microscope via a communication path;

displaying a first image based on the three dimensional image on a display device;

designating a partial region of the first image;

constructing a second image by rendering the three dimensional image based on the partial region; and

displaying the second image on the display device.
