Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical detection, and in particular relates to a device for measuring and simulating large-field imaging of an eye. Background Art

[0002] Simulated eyes have always been an important research tool in ophthalmology clinics and can be used to evaluate the imaging characteristics of human eyes in various situations. Simulated eyes can be mainly divided into two categories: one is a digital simulated eye, which is mainly used for theoretical analysis and modeling; the other is a physical simulated eye, which is mainly used for measurement and instrument calibration. The simulated eye in this patent refers specifically to a physical simulated eye. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) often requires the help of a physical simulated eye. The simulated eye in the prior art can be used to evaluate the three-dimensional imaging performance of ophthalmic OCT equipment. The simulated eye used for this purpose uses the cornea and lens in the simulated eye to photograph the retinal morphology of the simulated eye. It is not used to evaluate the imaging characteristics of the retina after the light passes through the simulated eye. In addition, simulated eyes are also used in ophthalmic training, and the eye models in the prior art cannot reflect the imaging characteristics of the human eye or focus on the imaging on the axis of the human eye, and are then used to photograph the retinal image of the human eye, or are used for ophthalmic surgery simulation training. However, there is currently no method for evaluating the peripheral imaging of simulated eyes. This is because, for a long time, people have mainly focused on the on-axis imaging of the human eye, and paid little attention to the off-axis imaging. However, in the past 10 years, studies have shown that the peripheral imaging of the human eye can control the progression of myopia, so the off-axis imaging of the human eye has attracted widespread attention. Therefore, it is necessary to fully understand the peripheral field imaging of the human eye. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a device for measuring and simulating large field of view imaging of an eye, so as to solve the problem that the prior art cannot fully understand the peripheral field of view imaging of the human eye.

[0007] Further, the bottom rotating table is a 360-degree electric rotating displacement table.

[0008] Further, the support is a support with adjustable height. The support with adjustable height adjusts the depth of the artificial retina detector extending into the artificial eye posterior chamber through the displacement platform and the support rod in sequence.

[0010] Further, the translation component includes a base, a sliding plate, a support plate and a first adjusting bolt. The lower end of the base is fixedly connected to the upper end of the substrate. The upper end of the base is fixedly installed with the support plate, and a chute is provided at the upper end of the base. The lower end of the sliding plate is slidably connected to the chute.

[0011] Further, a rotating disc is rotatably sleeved at the upper end of the sliding plate, and the middle of the upper end of the rotating disc is fixedly sleeved with one end of the support rod. Sawteeth are evenly distributed on the periphery of the rotating disc. A support hole is provided on one side of the support plate. The periphery of an adjusting rod is rotatably sleeved in the support hole. Threads are evenly distributed on the periphery of the adjusting rod.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood through specific circumstances.

[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0028] Such as Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, a device for measuring large field of view imaging of an artificial eye includes an artificial eye posterior chamber 1, an artificial retina detector 2, a support rod 3, a displacement platform 4, a substrate 5 and a light source. A medium groove is provided at the upper end of the artificial eye posterior chamber 1, and a light passing hole is provided on the side wall of the artificial eye posterior chamber 1. An artificial cornea and an artificial lens 6 are respectively and hermetically installed in the light passing hole. The medium groove is filled with a liquid medium. The input end of the artificial retina detector 2 is located in the liquid medium, and the periphery of the artificial retina detector 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the support rod 3. The other end of the support rod 3 is installed on the displacement platform 4. The displacement platform 4 can drive the artificial retina detector 2 to displace through the support rod 3. The lower end of the displacement platform 4 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the substrate 5, and a support 7 and a light source are respectively provided at the lower end of the substrate 5. The incident light of the light source sequentially passes through the artificial cornea, the artificial lens and the liquid medium and irradiates the input end of the artificial retina detector 2. The artificial retina detector 2 is signal-connected to a host computer. A bottom rotating table 8 is provided at the lower end of the artificial eye posterior chamber 1. The artificial retina detector 2 and the light source are arranged opposite to each other. The bottom rotating table 8 drives the artificial cornea and the artificial lens 6 through the artificial eye posterior chamber 1 to realize angular deflection relative to the artificial retina detector 2. By rotating the rotating table that supports the artificial eye posterior chamber 1, the angle of the incident light is controlled, and the incident light enters from the cornea, passes through the lens and then enters the posterior chamber of the artificial eye and irradiates the input end of the artificial retina detector 2. By controlling the displacement platform 4 connected to the support rod 3 of the artificial retina, the two-dimensional movement of the input end of the artificial retina detector 2 can be controlled, and thus the retina imaging under different fields of view can be detected. An adjustable-height floor support 7 is installed under the substrate 5 to control the height of the displacement platform 4, and thus the height of the artificial retina detector 2 can be simulated to adapt to different working conditions. When the artificial retina detector 2 is connected to a computer through a signal line, the image captured by the detector can be displayed in real time.

[0029] During implementation, the artificial eye needs to be placed on the bottom rotating table 8. By rotating the rotating table, the field of view angle of the light entering the eye is controlled. The artificial retina detector 2 can be any one of a CCD, a CMOS and an imaging detection element. In this embodiment, the existing technology CCD is selected. In order to ensure the reliability when the input end of the CCD is immersed in the liquid medium, waterproof sealing treatment needs to be carried out on the periphery of the CCD, and the waterproof sealing treatment can be realized by dispensing or installing a glass sealing dish, as long as the waterproof performance of IP68 can be satisfied.

[0030] The device can measure any combination of simulated eyes, including simulated eyes wearing various types of frame glasses, simulated eyes wearing contact lenses, simulated eyes implanted with ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens), and simulated eyes implanted with IOL (Intraocular lens). It can also image a monochromatic light or white light measurement system, and the image formed on the simulated retina detector 2 can be the image formed by parallel light passing through the simulated eye, or the image formed by the simulated eye when the target is at a finite distance, or it can be a military standard or other targets that can be imaged by the human eye.

[0031] Meanwhile, to meet the requirements of the above different working conditions, the displacement platform 4 includes a translation component 41 and a rotation component 42 provided at its upper end. One end of the support rod 3 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the rotation component 42. The lower end of the translation component 41 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the substrate 5. The rotation component 42 is used to drive the simulated retina detector 2 to rotate relative to the posterior chamber 1 of the simulated eye through the support rod 3, and the translation component 41 is used to drive the simulated retina detector 2 to linearly displace relative to the posterior chamber 1 of the simulated eye through the support rod 3. The translation component 41 includes a base, a slide plate, a support plate, and a first adjusting bolt. The lower end of the base is fixedly connected to the upper end of the substrate 5. The support plate is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base, and a chute is provided at the upper end of the base. The lower end of the slide plate is slidably connected to the chute. A threaded through hole is provided on the support plate. The outer periphery of the first adjusting bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole, and one end of the first adjusting bolt is rotatably sleeved on one side of the slide plate. In implementation, the bottom rotating table 8 can select the manual mechanism of the above rotation component 42, or it can select a 360-degree electric rotating displacement table in the prior art, as long as it meets the deflection angle requirement and the accuracy requirement of 1°. The simulated retina detector 2 is connected to the support rod 3 and fixed on the rotatable component 42. Through the rotation operation of the rotation component 42, the simulated retina detector 2 can be moved to different field angles of the simulated human eye. Through the translation operation of the translation component 41, the radial position of the simulated retina detector 2 can be adjusted to make the image formed on the detector the clearest. By adjusting the adjustable floor bracket 7, the vertical position of the simulated retina detector 2 can be changed to adjust the depth of the detector immersed in water.

[0032] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
