Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cutting center positioning in refractive surgery, and in particular to a method and device for positioning the cutting center in femtosecond laser refractive surgery. Background Art

[0002] Femtosecond laser refractive lens extraction is a surgery that uses a femtosecond laser to create a stromal lens on the cornea and remove the lens to correct refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism. The human eye is not a completely regular optical system, and there is usually a certain deviation between the pupil center and the visual axis center. The use of femtosecond laser to make a lens requires the cutting center to be accurately aligned with the visual axis center, but it is easier to observe the visual axis center during surgery. The relative position of the visual axis center and the pupil center can be obtained relatively easily during preoperative examination, so theoretically, the visual axis center can be found according to the relative position and the pupil center during surgery. However, the eyeball rotates in these two postures during preoperative examination and lying position during surgery, and the relative position also changes. In addition, the pupil diameter will also affect the relative position. The relative position relationship between the visual axis center and the pupil center becomes more complicated due to the influence of eyeball rotation and changes in pupil diameter, and it is easy to cause deviations if it is simply based on manual positioning by the doctor.

[0051] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0053] There is usually a certain deviation between the pupil center and the visual axis center of the human eye. When using femtosecond laser to make a lens, the cutting center needs to be accurately aligned with the visual axis center. The relative position relationship between the visual axis center and the pupil center becomes more complicated due to the influence of eye rotation and pupil diameter change. It is easy to cause deviations if it only relies on manual positioning by a doctor. The present invention provides a method for accurately locating the visual axis center point as the center of corneal stroma lens for femtosecond laser scanning to improve the accuracy of cutting center positioning in femtosecond laser refractive surgery.

[0054] In order to accurately position the needs, corresponding adjustments are made. For doctors with high requirements, this application provides a method for positioning the cutting center of femtosecond laser refractive surgery.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a method for positioning the cutting center of femtosecond laser refractive surgery is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0056] S1: Acquire an eye image of a patient in a sitting position under a set light illumination, and determine a first iris image and a first relative position; the first relative position is the relative position of a first pupil center and a first visual axis center.

[0057] As an optional implementation, S1 specifically includes:

[0058] Acquire an eye image of the patient in the seated position for surgery at a set light intensity.

[0059] Based on the sitting eye image, a first pupil diameter, a first iris image, a first pupil center and a first visual axis center of the patient to be operated on are determined.

[0060] A first relative position is determined based on the first pupil center and the first visual axis center.

[0061] S2: Acquire an eye image of a patient in a lying position to be operated on under a set light illumination.

[0062] As an optional implementation, S2 specifically includes:

[0063] The patient to be operated on looks at the fixation light while lying in preparation for the operation.

[0064] The light brightness is adjusted to a set light brightness so that the pupil center of the patient to be operated on is consistent with the first pupil center.

[0065] The lying eye image is captured.

[0066] S3: Determine a second iris image and a second pupil center of the patient to be operated on according to the lying eye image.

[0067] S4: Determine a first eyeball rotation angle according to the first iris image and the second iris image.

[0068] As an optional implementation, S4 specifically includes:

[0069] Determine the positions of the inner circle and the outer circle in the first iris image and the second iris image respectively, and obtain the processed first iris image and the processed second iris image; the inner circle is the boundary between the iris and the pupil; the outer circle is the boundary between the iris and the sclera.

[0070] The processed first iris image and the processed second iris image are respectively normalized to obtain a normalized first iris image and a normalized second iris image.

[0071] Image enhancement is performed on the normalized first iris image and the normalized second iris image to obtain an enhanced first iris image and an enhanced second iris image.

[0072] The angle of the first iris feature point is determined according to the enhanced first iris image.

[0073] The second iris feature point angle is determined according to the enhanced second iris image.

[0074] Determining the first eyeball rotation angle according to the first iris feature point angle and the second iris feature point angle specifically includes:

[0075] The first eyeball rotation angle is determined using the formula λ1=α-β1, wherein λ1 is the first eyeball rotation angle; α is the first iris feature point angle; and β1 is the second iris feature point angle.

[0076] S5: Calculate the second visual axis center of the patient to be operated on according to the first pupil center, the first relative position and the first eyeball rotation angle, and calculate the second relative position between the second visual axis center and the second pupil center; the second visual axis center is the visual axis center of the patient to be operated on. When the patient lies and looks at the fixation light directly above, the coaxial reflection point in the image (this point is at the very center of the image when the patient fixates on the fixation light directly in the center) is the visual axis center by default.

[0077] S6: Perform negative pressure suction according to the second relative position guidance.

[0078] S7: aligning the center of the negative pressure suction ring with the center of the second visual axis, and determining whether the center of the negative pressure suction ring is aligned with the center of the second visual axis.

[0079] S8: If yes, then start the negative pressure suction, obtain the third iris image of the patient to be operated under the set light brightness, and determine the third pupil center. In order to determine whether the visual axis center shifts during the negative pressure suction process, it is necessary to take the third iris image and perform the following steps.

[0080] S9: Calculate the third visual axis center of the patient to be operated on according to the first pupil center, the first relative position and the second eyeball rotation angle, and calculate the third relative position between the third visual axis center and the third pupil center; the second eyeball rotation angle is determined according to the first iris image and the third iris image; the third visual axis center is the visual axis center of the patient to be operated on during the negative pressure suction process. The calculation principle of the second eyeball rotation angle is consistent with the calculation principle of the first eyeball rotation angle.

[0081] As an optional implementation manner, determining the second eyeball rotation angle according to the first iris image and the third iris image specifically includes:

[0082] Determine the positions of the inner circle and the outer circle in the first iris image and the third iris image respectively, and obtain the processed first iris image and the processed third iris image; the inner circle is the boundary between the iris and the pupil; the outer circle is the boundary between the iris and the sclera.

[0083] The processed first iris image and the processed third iris image are respectively normalized to obtain a normalized first iris image and a normalized third iris image.

[0084] Image enhancement is performed on the normalized first iris image and the normalized third iris image to obtain an enhanced first iris image and an enhanced third iris image.

[0085] The angle of the first iris feature point is determined according to the enhanced first iris image.

[0086] The angle of the third iris feature point is determined according to the enhanced third iris image.

[0087] Determining the second eyeball rotation angle according to the first iris feature point angle and the third iris feature point angle specifically includes:

[0088] The second eyeball rotation angle is determined using the formula λ2=α-β2, wherein λ2 is the second eyeball rotation angle; α is the first iris feature point angle; and β2 is the third iris feature point angle.

[0089] S10: Determine whether the center of the negative pressure suction ring is aligned with the center of the third visual axis.

[0090] S11: If yes, the third visual axis center is used as the cutting center, and the astigmatism axis of the femtosecond laser device cutting model is adjusted according to the second eyeball rotation angle, and a prompt is given to start laser scanning.

[0091] If not, perform negative pressure suction again, or adjust the center of the cutting model of the femtosecond laser equipment to the center of the third visual axis, adjust the astigmatism axis of the cutting model according to the second eye rotation angle, and prompt to start laser scanning.

[0092] So far, a relatively clear and reliable third visual axis center point, that is, the cutting center, has been obtained. The rotation angle of the eyeball when the patient lies in preparation for surgery has also been determined, providing an accurate reference for the cutting center and rotation angle for the next step of laser cutting treatment.

[0093] The femtosecond laser refractive surgery cutting center positioning method of the present application is specifically described below:

[0094] Step 1: Obtain the relative position of the patient to be operated on, and record the light brightness, the first pupil diameter and the first iris image.

[0095] Step 2: Let the patient to be operated on turn on the fixation light, and let the patient lie down. Adjust the light brightness so that the diameter of the second pupil is consistent with the diameter of the first pupil in the sitting position.

[0096] Step 3: Let the patient to be operated look at the fixation light, take an eye image in the lying position, and compare it with the eye image in the sitting position to obtain the first eye rotation angle.

[0097] In this embodiment, femtosecond laser refractive surgery is performed using a VISX STAR S4 excimer laser device, which determines the eye rotation angle based on the eye rotation angle acquisition method described in "Wavefront-Guided Refractive Surgery".

[0098] Step 4: Let the patient to be operated look at the fixation light, identify the second pupil center, and locate the second visual axis center and the second relative position between the second visual axis center and the second pupil center based on the eyeball rotation angle and the first relative position.

[0099] Step 5: Confirm that the patient to be operated on is looking at the fixation light, move the laser emission window closer to the eyeball, and perform negative pressure suction according to the second relative position guidance.

[0100] Step 6: Before starting the negative pressure suction, determine whether the center of the negative pressure suction ring is aligned with the center of the second visual axis. If so, execute step 7.

[0101] Step seven: start negative pressure suction. In order to determine whether the center of the visual axis shifts during the negative pressure suction process, obtain the third iris image of the patient to be operated on under the set light illumination and determine the third pupil center.

[0102] Step 8: Calculate the third visual axis center of the patient to be operated on according to the first pupil center, the first relative position and the second eyeball rotation angle, and calculate the third relative position between the third visual axis center and the third pupil center. The calculation principle of the second eyeball rotation angle is the same as the calculation principle of the first eyeball rotation angle.

[0103] Step 9: Determine whether the center of the negative pressure suction ring is aligned with the center of the third visual axis, if so, proceed to step 10. If the center of the negative pressure suction ring is aligned with the center of the third visual axis, it means that the center of the visual axis has not shifted during the negative pressure suction process, and the operation can be performed.

[0104] Step 10: Use the third visual axis center as the cutting center, adjust the astigmatism axis of the femtosecond laser equipment cutting model according to the second eyeball rotation angle, and prompt to start laser scanning to perform femtosecond laser surgery.

[0105] This application realizes precise positioning of the visual axis center and achieves the expected precise correction effect.
