1. An optometric apparatus, comprising:
an optical system for a right eye, for projecting a chart for the right eye; and
an optical system for a left eye, for projecting a chart for the left eye, in order to inspect visual function of both eyes of an examinee, wherein
said optical systems for the right and left eyes project the same fusion patterns in order to perform a fusion of both eyes of the examinee,
said optical systems for the right and left eyes project targets for inspecting visions as the charts for the right and left eyes, and
a distance from eyes of the examinee to be examined to the targets for inspecting the visions is variable optically and a convergence angle determined by optical axes of the optical systems for the right and left eyes varies pursuant to said distance.
