Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of surgical guidance technology, specifically a method for constructing a three-dimensional model of the eyeball and a surgical navigation system for the macular ligament. Background Technology
[0002] In 2020, there were 2.5 billion people with myopia worldwide, including 600 million with high myopia. Of these, approximately 60 million had tractional macular degeneration (AMD) requiring surgical intervention. In China, among the 170 million people with high myopia, about 12 million had tractional macular degeneration. High myopic tractional macular degeneration occurs because the axial length of the eye in highly myopic patients continues to increase, causing the eyeball to expand irregularly backward, resulting in posterior traction on the retina and leading to macular degeneration. This can cause persistent vision loss and even blindness, making it a challenging clinical treatment and a hot topic and difficulty in global ophthalmological research.
[0003] Studies have shown that macular ligation surgery has good efficacy and safety in treating high myopia-related tractional macular degeneration, bringing new hope to patients with this condition. However, due to technical challenges, the awareness and adoption rate of macular ligation surgery still differ significantly from those abroad. Patients with high myopia-related tractional macular degeneration often have irregular posterior expansion of the eyeball, and their eyeball length also varies considerably, making a uniform surgical approach impossible. Individualized surgical design is therefore essential. Preoperatively, the expected macular padding height and the appropriate ligation implant size need to be designed based on factors such as the patient's eyeball morphology and axial length. Furthermore, due to blind spots in the surgical procedure, the relative positions of the ligation implant and the important macular structure cannot be fully exposed during the operation, thus increasing the surgical difficulty by requiring precise intraoperative positioning of the ligation implant. To reduce the difficulty of macular ligation surgery, improve surgical safety, and implement individualized treatment strategies, a precise surgical navigation system plays a crucial role in simplifying the surgical procedure.
[0004] Traditional navigation for macular ligament surgery involves using MRI to create a 3D model of the entire eyeball through three-dimensional reconstruction, helping clinicians understand the patient's eye shape preoperatively. However, due to the limitations of MRI imaging resolution, it can only acquire information about the shape of the eyeball and cannot accurately locate the fovea of the macula on a 3D image. Furthermore, MRI examinations are expensive and require specialized technicians to perform sampling and 3D modeling, making MRI navigation relatively inefficient. Therefore, there is an urgent clinical need for a precise and simplified surgical navigation system to help clinicians perform macular ligament surgery more safely and effectively. Summary of the Invention

[0021] A variability analysis of the posterior half of the eyeball was performed based on the vertical distance from the central vertex of the posterior sclera to the equatorial plane of the eyeball.
[0022] Preferably, the construction of a three-dimensional eyeball model using corneal parameters, parameters of the anterior half of the eyeball, and parameters of the posterior half of the eyeball specifically includes:
[0023] S21 - Obtain corneal curvature R and anterior scleral curvature R' based on IOLMaster;
[0024] S22 - Construct a corneal model OAB based on corneal curvature R and corneal diameter AB. The corneal model OAB includes point O, point A, point B and several connecting lines. Point O is the vertex of the anterior surface of the cornea, and points A and B are points on the limbus corresponding to the corneal diameter. Points A and B are located on both sides of point O.
[0025] S23 - Based on the curvature R' of the anterior half of the sclera, the transverse diameter CD of the eyeball passing through the equatorial plane, the vertical distance OO' of the vertex of the anterior corneal surface from the equatorial plane, and the corneal model OAB, construct the anterior half model OACO'DB of the eyeball.

Among them, point O' is the intersection of the vertical line passing through point O on the equatorial plane and the equatorial plane. Points C and D are two points on the equatorial plane corresponding to the transverse diameter of the eyeball passing through the equatorial plane. Points C and D are located on both sides of point O.
[0026] S24 - Obtain the axial length OM of the eyeball based on IOLMaster, and determine the position of the central vertex M of the posterior scleral macula based on the axial length OM and the extension line of the line connecting point O and point O', wherein the central vertex M of the posterior scleral macula is located on the extension line of the line connecting point O and point O'.
[0027] S25: Based on the position of the central vertex M of the posterior scleral macula and the model OACO'DB of the anterior half of the eyeball, a three-dimensional model of the eyeball is constructed. The region enclosed by points O, A, C, D and B in the three-dimensional model of the eyeball is defined as a constant region with low variability, and the region enclosed by point C, the central vertex M of the posterior scleral macula and point D in the three-dimensional model of the eyeball is defined as a variable region with high variability.

[0032] Beneficial Effects: Compared to traditional techniques that rely on orbital MRI for modeling, the ocular three-dimensional modeling method and macular ligament surgical navigation system of this application utilize multimodal imaging equipment, including MRI, during modeling. In final clinical applications, a precise and simplified three-dimensional ocular model can be constructed using macular OCT scanning and axial length measurement. This model construction method is simpler and offers significant time and cost-effectiveness. Secondly, OCT has higher resolution than MRI, enabling more accurate quantification of structural abnormalities in the macular region, making it more suitable for individualized navigation design in macular ligament surgery. Furthermore, in clinical navigation applications, only OCT and biometry data are needed to construct a simplified model to determine the position of the fovea, which in turn determines the positions of the corresponding ligament suture points P1 and P2. This eliminates the need for traditional MRI or CT imaging equipment, achieving results that can only be performed by ophthalmologists. It is simple and practical, greatly reducing additional testing costs and consultation time for patients. Simultaneously, the OCT-based navigation algorithm has an inherent advantage in resolution, resulting in more accurate quantification and facilitating the widespread adoption of macular ligament surgery.

[0060] In a second aspect, this embodiment discloses a macular ligament surgical navigation system, including a model building module and a ligament suture point calculation module;

[0062] The buckling suture point calculation module is configured to calculate the positions of buckling suture points P1 and P2 based on the three-dimensional model of the eyeball. Specifically, buckling suture points P1 and P2 are located beside the superior rectus and lateral rectus muscles in the superior temporal quadrant, respectively, and within a constant region. The buckling suture points P1 and P2 are determined based on the planned shortening axial length MM' and the distance between the buckling apex center and the distal fixation ring. The axial length MM' is the distance between the position of the fovea and the shortened target fovea M', and the target fovea M' is located on the extension of the vertical line between the apex of the anterior corneal surface and the equatorial plane of the eyeball.
[0063] Below, this text will provide a more detailed explanation of the above technical content based on actual experimental examples:
[0064] First, ocular biological parameters were measured in 40 patients with high myopia, primarily using MRI, anterior and posterior segment OCT, and the IOL-master biometer.
[0065] When establishing corneal parameters and analyzing variability, such as Figure 3 As shown, the measured corneal diameter (with the limbus as the measurement point) is 12.16 ± 0.23 mm, and the corresponding variability analysis result is small.
[0066] In the establishment and variability analysis of parameters in the anterior half of the eyeball, such as Figure 4 As shown, the measured transverse diameter of the eyeball across the equatorial plane is 25.54 ± 0.35 mm, and the corresponding variability analysis result is small. The measured vertical distance from the vertex of the anterior corneal surface to the equatorial plane is 13.68 ± 0.27 mm, and the corresponding variability analysis result is small.
[0067] In the establishment and variability analysis of parameters in the posterior part of the eyeball, such as Figure 5 The measured vertical distance from the posterior scleral fovea to the equatorial plane of the eyeball is 17.52±1.79 mm, and the corresponding variability analysis results show that the posterior sclera has large variability; the morphology of the posterior sclera has large variability, but the position of the fovea centralis is located on the axial length of the eye and remains basically unchanged; the amount of macular schisis has large variability, and the amount of surgery varies greatly.
[0068] Through multimodal biological parameter analysis of 40 patients with high myopia, a simplified model of the eyeball in high myopia was constructed, providing valuable geometric reference for surgical navigation. Figure 6 The diagram shows that the eyeball structure in high myopia is divided into two regions: 1) the anterior half of the eyeball, OACDB, is a constant region with small variations in three-dimensional parameters; 2) the posterior half of the eyeball, CMD, is a variable region with greater individual differences. High myopia patients exhibit significant axial length variation, but point M still lies on the extension of OO'. The position of OM can be determined by accurately measuring the axial length OM. Since the macular cingulate needs to be fixed in the constant region, only the location of M needs to be determined for precise preoperative surgical positioning design. Therefore, this simplified eyeball model can meet the needs of cingulate surgery navigation.
[0069] Furthermore, based on the construction of the simplified eyeball model, the positions of the cingulate points P1 and P2 were calculated. (Reference) Figure 7 As shown, the buckle suture points P1 and P2 are located beside the superior rectus and lateral rectus muscles in the superior temporal quadrant, respectively, within the constant area. The positions of points P (P1 and P2) are determined by the planned axial length reduction (MM') and the distance between the buckle pressure center and the distal fixation ring. Figure 7 In the diagram, O represents the apex of the anterior corneal surface, M represents the fovea centralis (i.e., the aforementioned posterior scleral fovea centralis apex), L represents the limbus, and ON represents the optic nerve; OM represents the axial length, M'M represents the estimated apical pressure (i.e., the planned axial shortening), the shaded area represents the macular cingulate, B represents the position of the macular cingulate apical pressure plate, P represents the anterior suture point of the cingulate, and LP represents the distance from the cingulate suture point to the limbus.
[0070] Therefore, in clinical practice, the specifications of the macular buckle can be determined based on the axis length OM, and the positions of the buckle suture points P1 and P2 can be further determined to optimize the macular buckle surgery process.
[0071] Based on the above, the ocular three-dimensional model construction method and macular ligament surgical navigation system of this embodiment do not require MRI, effectively reducing the difficulty of ocular three-dimensional reconstruction, greatly improving the accuracy of macular localization, and shortening the operation time. This reduces the difficulty of macular ligament surgery and enables individualized and precise implementation of the surgery. This embodiment describes the specific implementation method and related measurement parameters for constructing a simplified three-dimensional ocular model using multimodal imaging technology, and ultimately how to construct a simplified ocular model solely using OCT and biometry. Unlike traditional techniques that rely on orbital MRI for modeling, this solution only utilizes multimodal imaging equipment, including MRI, during model exploration. In the final clinical application, this solution completes the accurate construction of a simplified ocular model solely using macular OCT scanning and axial length measurement. In practice, this model construction is simpler and offers significant time and cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, OCT has higher resolution than MRI, enabling more precise quantification of structural abnormalities in the macular region, making it more suitable for individualized navigation design in macular ligament surgery.
[0072] This embodiment innovatively proposes a surgical navigation algorithm for the macular cingulate ligament based on a simplified eye model, which helps clinicians better perform surgical localization and quantitative design for macular cingulate ligament surgery. Through algorithm optimization, the navigation system of this scheme only requires data from OCT and biometry. Since it eliminates the need for traditional imaging equipment such as MRI or CT, the navigation design of this scheme can be entirely completed by ophthalmologists. The algorithm is simple and practical, greatly reducing additional testing costs and consultation time for patients. At the same time, the OCT-based navigation algorithm has an inherent advantage in resolution, resulting in more accurate quantification. In practical applications, the navigation system of this scheme is more effective and feasible than traditional methods, and is more conducive to the promotion of macular cingulate ligament surgery.
[0073] In clinical practice, this protocol fully validated the feasibility and accuracy of the macular cingulate navigation system based on a simplified eye model, demonstrating greater accuracy, speed, and safety compared to traditional techniques. Under the guidance of this navigation system, all 28 patients undergoing macular cingulate surgery achieved excellent expected results, characterized by precise localization consistent with the preoperative plan, significantly reduced surgical time, and a substantial decrease in surgical difficulty. Furthermore, no significant complications occurred in any of the patients.
