Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an adjustable eyelid opener with macula protection and a macula protection film, belonging to the technical field of medical equipment. Background Art

[0002] The macula, also known as the retinal macula, is a specific area at the posterior pole of the eyeball, located below the temporal side of the optic disc, about 3-4 mm away, with a diameter of 1-3 mm and a horizontal oval shape. Under the ophthalmoscope, the macula area usually appears as a dark brown area surrounded by a ring of reflections. The macula contains a part called the fovea, in which cone cells are densely arranged. The ellipsoid layer in the macula is the inner segment layer of the cone cells, which absorbs light energy and transmits it to the outer segment of the cone cells, and then converts the light energy into electrical energy and transmits it to the visual center. The retina at the fovea is very thin, with a thickness of about 0.13 mm, while the thickness of other areas is about 0.37 mm. The biological characteristics of the retina itself, the shielding effect of the anterior segment tissues such as the cornea and lens on electromagnetic waves of specific wavelengths, and the characteristics of the light environment that humans are exposed to determine that the retina is most susceptible to damage from blue light in visible light. Various optical lighting devices (such as indirect ophthalmoscopes, surgical microscopes) can also cause photodamage to the macula, inducing photochemical damage to the macula, especially the foveal photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium.

[0003] In recent years, the use of ophthalmic instruments such as slit lamp microscopes, shadowless lamps, surgical microscopes, etc. has led to potential damage to the retinal macula due to light exposure and eye irritation symptoms to patients, which has increasingly attracted attention.

[0004] The slit lamp microscope, also known as the slit lamp, is a commonly used inspection device in ophthalmology. It has an adjustable magnification and uses direct illumination or diffuse illumination. It is observed with a medium to high magnification microscope. Common treatments such as stone removal, corneal suture removal, meibomian gland blockage treatment, and eyelash extraction must be completed under the slit lamp. Shadowless lamps are mostly used for ocular surface surgery. The illumination is greater than 150,000 lux, and the actual applicable illumination is 40,000 to 100,000 lux, which can be adjusted appropriately according to needs. After exposure to light, the eyes will have symptoms of discomfort and stinging, and there is also a risk of light damage to the macula.

[0005] Posterior segment surgery refers to surgery involving diseases of the posterior segment of the eye, such as the vitreous body and retina; including proliferative diabetic retinopathy, epiretinal membrane, macular hole, vitrectomy and retinal detachment surgery. Posterior segment vitrectomy is difficult, takes a long time, and requires high technical skills. It is the most delicate and difficult surgery in ophthalmology. During posterior segment surgery, the light from the microscope irradiates the surgical area, and light damage to the macula of the fundus is inevitable. In the design of the light source, each microscope manufacturer has taken into account the reduction of stimulation to the macula as much as possible, but the brightness of the light source is always present, and damage is inevitable. At present, physical shielding methods are used to avoid or reduce light exposure during eye treatment, surgery, and intraocular operations.

[0006] Due to the characteristics of the macular structure, how to protect it during surgery and treatment, and how to alleviate the patient's discomfort caused by light exposure, are urgent issues that need to be addressed. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an ophthalmic surgical instrument with macular protection. Summary of the invention
