Abstract

Provided is a corneal astigmatism analysis method of corneal topography diagnosis. According to corneal discrete-point height data acquired by anterior-segment biological measurement equipment, higher-degree polynomials are adopted to fit the measured data and to accurately reconstruct a corneal surface contour, by solving first-order and second-order partial derivatives of the corneal surface, in combination with differential geometry principles, two principal curvatures and orthogonal directions of the two principal curvatures of each point on the cornea are calculated, the differences of the principal curvatures are converted into corneal refractive power differences and serve as the corneal astigmatism, and the directions of the principal curvatures represent axial directions of the corneal astigmatism. The corneal astigmatism analysis method is applicable to arbitrary and continuous corneal topography which includes the diseased or postoperative cornea, not only can the regular astigmatism of the whole cornea be calculated, but also irregular astigmatism of the local cornea can be quantitatively evaluated, and the corneal astigmatism analysis method is conductive to the clinical diagnosis of corneal diseases and the refraction evaluation of the treated cornea.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of corneal topography and optical properties, in particular to a corneal astigmatism analysis method for corneal topography diagnosis. Background technique: [0002] Refractive errors of the human eye include myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, among which astigmatism is divided into regular astigmatism and irregular astigmatism according to whether the maximum and minimum curvature meridians of the corneal principal meridian are orthogonal. The refractive power of the cornea accounts for about 70% of the refractive system of the whole eye, and the refractive power of the cornea mainly depends on the front surface of the cornea. Corneal disease or corneal refractive surgery may cause changes in corneal morphology, causing local irregular astigmatism in the lesion or surgical area, which will seriously affect visual quality. Therefore, ophthalmologists need to use the corneal topography data detected by ante...
