1. An ophthalmologic image recording apparatus for recording images of an eye to be examined, the apparatus comprising:
(a) image sensing means for sensing and forming an image of the eye;
(b) acquiring means for acquiring
(i) through a first communication line, a plurality of images of the eye sensed by the image sensing means and image formation times, the image formation times constituting time information relating to times at which each of the plurality of images, respectively, was formed in the image sensing means, and
(ii) through a second communication line, a plurality of image sensing correlation information sets, each respective information set relating to image sensing conditions for a corresponding one of the plurality of images and including an image sensing time;
(c) control means for correlating each of the plurality of images with corresponding ones of the plurality of image sensing correlation information sets, wherein an image is correlated with an information set when a difference between the image formation time of the image and the image sensing time of the information set is within a predetermined range; and
(d) recording means for recording a new file including a correlated image and information set.
