Problems solved by technology

However, this method needs to know the central thickness of the measured concave lens during the measurement process, that is to say, when this technology is applied to corneal measurement, it also needs to know the thickness of the cornea, and according to the previous statement, the corneal thickness cannot be obtained , so this technique cannot be used for corneal refractive index measurements

Abstract

The invention discloses a cornea measuring method and a cornea measuring system. The cornea measuring method comprises the following steps: carrying out measurement by adopting an optical coherence tomography method, thus obtaining the optical path L0 from the front surface to the rear surface of the cornea; moving a focusing lens, wherein when the focal point of detection light is located on thefront and rear surfaces of the cornea, the signal intensity is the maximal value, and acquiring the distance L1 between the two corresponding positions where the focusing lens is located when the focal point of detection light is located on the front and rear surfaces of the cornea; acquiring the refractive index of the cornea and the thickness of the cornea by utilizing the ray tracing technology. With the method and the system, the non-contact in-vivo accurate measurement for the refractive index of the cornea and the thickness of the cornea is realized and can serve as the reference for therefractive surgery of the human eyes, a reliable basis is provided for calculating the eye parameters, and thus the ideal refraction effect is achieved for the human eyes after the surgery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cornea measurement method and system, belonging to the technical field of optical interference measurement. Background technique [0002] The cornea is an important part of the refractive system of the human eye, and its refractive power accounts for about 74% of the total refractive power of the human eye. Before performing refractive surgery on the human eye, such as corneal refractive surgery or intraocular lens implantation, only by accurately and effectively measuring the corneal diopter can it be possible to obtain a more ideal refractive effect after the operation. Corneal curvature, refractive index and thickness are the main parameters that characterize the corneal refractive power (diopter). The cornea is located at the forefront of the human eye. With the help of a keratometer or an anterior segment measurement instrument based on Fourier-domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FD-OCT), the anterior and posterior sur...
