Medical device for applying light energy to eyes

Abstract

A medical device for applying light energy to an eye includes a light energy source, an image capture device configured to acquire eye image information, and a processing control unit, at least a portion of light emitted by the light energy source being directed to the eye of a user, the image capture device being configured to receive the eye image information, and the processing control unit being configured to process the eye image information. And the processing control unit is configured to process the eye image information to obtain information related to the use condition of the user. According to the invention, the image capturing device is additionally arranged, so that the problems that the ophthalmology medical device cannot identify whether a user normally uses the ophthalmology medical device or not and can accurately detect the light intensity entering eyes and the eyeball state can be effectively solved, and real closed-loop monitoring of the light intensity of the ophthalmology medical device is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical device for applying light energy to eyes. Background technique [0002] The light energy source achieves medical or health effects on the eyes by emitting light in a preset wavelength range to the eyes. In practical applications, the light energy source can be used for myopia, amblyopia, macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and other eye diseases. As the incidence of myopia among teenagers in my country is increasing year by year, taking the myopia of myopia patients for medical treatment or health care as an example, some studies have shown that the laser wavelength emitted by the light energy source is preset to be within the laser wavelength range that can be used for medical or health care myopia. When the light energy emitted by the light energy source of this wavelength is applied to the eyes of myopia patients, it can induce the retina to produce and release dopamine, which can slow down a...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing devices that use light to irradiate the retina to treat ophthalmic diseases are usually unable to recognize whether the user is using it normally, the line of sight is shifted or the eyes are closed, especially when the user is a young child to treat amblyopia or myopia, the number of times and time of use per day is limited , since it is impossible to confirm whether the light energy is irradiated in the user's eyes, it will affect the user's healing effect

Moreover, the detection of the light intensity of the light energy source can usually only be solved by regular maintenance or current monitoring. It is not a direct detection of the light intensity of the emitted light of the light energy source, so it is not a closed-loop monitoring in the true sense, so it is urgently needed further improvement
