Problems solved by technology

If the distance adjustment between the retinal scanning lens and the eyepiece is used, refractive error correction can be performed, however, for a myopic eye with an elongated eye axis, the focusing angle of a single scanning beam is smaller than that of a refractive normal eye, As a result, the numerical aperture of the entire system becomes smaller, resulting in a decrease in the intensity of the scanned signal obtained relative to the case of the normal eye, and a smaller signal-to-noise ratio of the scanned signal compared to the case of the normal eye
In addition, the maximum optical path difference spanned by the imaged area of ​​the retina in depth increases due to axial elongation and increased retinal curvature
Since current frequency-domain optical coherence tomography scanners only support a limited range of scanning depths, the increase in the maximum optical path difference of the imaging region of the retina can lead to false "mirror" scanning images of optical coherence tomography scanners

Abstract

An optical coherence tomography instrument comprises an optical coherence tomography module used for retina scanning for emmetropia eyes and a myopic eye scanning module which can be attached to the outside of the optical coherence tomography module to realize switching of a scanning function for emmetropia eyes and a scanning function for myopic eyes with elongating ocular axes of the optical coherence tomography instrument. The myopic eye scanning module has a negative focal power, so that scanning light beams from the optical coherence tomography instrument are diffused before entering myopic eyes with elongating ocular axes and further the focusing angle of scanning light beams focused on retinas of the myopic eyes with elongating ocular axes is increased and the maximum optical path difference spanned by imaging areas of the retinas is reduced. Thus, error-free mirror image scanning images with stronger scanning signals and higher signal-to-noise ratios can be obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical medicine, in particular to an optical coherence tomography scanner (OCT System, Optical Coherence Tomography System) with a myopia scanning module. Background technique [0002] Optical coherence tomography is an interferometry method used to obtain the scattering properties of a sample being scanned. Optical coherence tomography can be divided into time domain optical coherence tomography (TD-OCT) and frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT). Compared with time-domain optical coherence tomography, frequency-domain optical coherence tomography has obvious advantages in terms of speed and signal-to-noise ratio. Discrimination of spectral information in frequency-domain optical coherence tomography is usually achieved by: in the case of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), the spectrometer in the detection arm can be used for spectroscopy; In the case of optical coherence tom...
