Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an ophthalmic biological parameter measurement technology, and particularly to a full-automatic multi-focus ophthalmic biological parameter measurement system and a measurement method. Background Art
[0002] Ophthalmic biological parameters include axial length of the eye, corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, vitreous thickness, corneal curvature, pupil size, etc. Among them, the axial length of the eye refers to the distance from the anterior surface of the cornea to the retinal pigment epithelium layer. These parameters can provide a scientific basis for the judgment of various eye diseases such as refractive error, glaucoma, cataract, strabismus, amblyopia, and macular edema. Compared with normal eyes, in angle-closure glaucoma, the anterior chamber is thin, the lens is thick, the vitreous is thin, and the axial length of the eye is shorter. Therefore, the accurate measurement of ophthalmic biological parameters is particularly important, and its industrialization prospect is very huge.
[0003] Currently, the methods for measuring the axial length of the eye mainly include ultrasonic measurement and optical measurement. The traditional method for measuring the axial length of the eye mainly uses ultrasonic measurement. By receiving the ultrasonic echo signals of different layers of the eyeball, the depth information of the eyeball can be obtained. The measurement accuracy is only 100μm to 200μm. It is necessary to contact the cornea and anesthetize the corneal surface, and it is easy to damage and infect the cornea. Optical axial length measurement uses optical coherence technology to measure the axial length of the eye, which has the advantages of non-contact, high precision, and simple operation. However, this measurement method usually uses an ordinary single-focus lens to converge the light entering the human eye at the cornea. By reflecting through the interfaces of various tissues in the eye and detecting its low-coherence signal, at this time, the light spot energy at the cornea is relatively concentrated, and the energy becomes more divergent towards the back. For example, the light spots at the lens and retina are relatively large, which will cause the signal intensities detected by the reflections on the lens surface and the retina surface to be relatively weak.
[0004] In order to improve the signal intensities detected on the lens surface and the retina surface, the existing methods mainly include:
[0005] 1) Increasing the optical power entering the human eye, but it is easy to increase the risk of the safe power of the human eye;
[0006] 2) The dual optical path channel method is adopted. For example, Chinese Patent CN118370512A discloses an ophthalmic biological parameter measurement system and method, and US Patent US6806963B1 discloses a device and method for measuring the optical properties of at least two regions located at a distance from one another in a transparent and / or diffuse object (Method and device for measuring the optical properties of at least two regions located at a distance from one another in a transparent and / or diffuse object). In both cases, light is split into two beams by a beam splitter and converged onto the anterior segment and posterior segment of the eye respectively. However, this increases the complexity of the system structure and also requires ensuring equal optical paths or compensation.
[0007] 3) The dual-focus combined lens method is adopted. For example, Chinese Patent CN104013383A discloses a dual-focus anterior and posterior segment synchronous imaging system and imaging method, in which two types of lenses are nested and combined mechanically. Since the light spot entering the human eye is small, with a diameter of 1 - 4 mm, the light spot needs to be expanded and then contracted, which increases the complexity of the system structure and the difficulty of system alignment and adjustment, and is not conducive to the compactness of the system.
[0008] 4) The time-division single-channel method is adopted. For example, US Patent US8049899B2 discloses a device and method for measuring the geometric dimensions of an object (Method and Apparatus for Determination of Geometric Values on an Object). By alternately changing the components in the optical path, it focuses on the anterior segment and posterior segment of the eye alternately at different time periods. However, its signal acquisition is not synchronous, and eye tremors or slight head movements will cause large errors, affecting the measurement accuracy.
[0009] 5) The continuous zoom method is adopted. For example, US Patent US7695137B2 discloses a short-coherence interferometric measurement device for axial length measurement on the eye (Short-Coherence Interferometeric Measurement of Length on the Eye). The zoom module is driven by a motor to move, changing the focusing position in the eyeball, and its system structure is complex.
[0010] These methods have the characteristics of high light power entering the human eye, complex system structure, complex alignment and adjustment, non-compact system, and low accuracy.
[0011] In view of the above problems, it is necessary to provide a new type of fully automatic multi-focus ophthalmic biometric measurement system to solve the above problems, improve the intensity of detection signals on the crystal surface and the retina surface, facilitate the detection of signals at the interfaces of various tissues of the patient's eyeball, meet the needs of medical staff for examining various patients, and have the characteristics of simple structure, low human eye optical power, convenient installation and adjustment, compact system, and high precision.

[0016] The measurement optical path includes a measurement light source for providing measurement light, a first coupler for splitting the measurement light into two beams of light, a polarization device for changing the polarization state of the light in the optical fiber, and a first detector for receiving the reflected measurement light. One of the two beams of light enters the measurement assembly as the signal light for detecting the positions of different reflection surfaces of the eyeball, and the other beam of light enters the delay line assembly as the reference light to accurately locate the positions of different reflection surfaces of the eyeball by scanning and form a low-coherence interference peak with the signal light.
[0017] The scale optical path includes a scale light source for providing scale light, a second coupler for splitting the scale light into two beams of light, and a second detector for receiving the reflected scale light. One of the two beams of light enters the optical fiber end face mirror, and the other beam of light is coupled with the reference light of the measurement light source and enters the delay line assembly through a wavelength division multiplexer. The two beams of light form a high-coherence interference peak, and the amount of optical path change is measured by the number of interference peaks of the scale light.

[0022] The multi-focal lens is a compound curved lens, which is divided into an inner ring lens of the spot illumination part and an outer ring lens of the non-spot illumination part from the inside to the outside. The inner ring lens of the spot illumination part is composed of a plurality of sub-lenses with different focal lengths spliced together.
[0023] The inner ring lens of the spot illumination part is divided into several regions, and each region corresponds to an inner sub-lens.
[0024] The light passing area of each inner sub-lens is 0.5 to 1.5 times the average light passing area of all inner sub-lenses.
[0025] The focal points of the inner sub-lenses are respectively located at different surfaces of the cornea, lens and retina, and the spot energy distributed on the retina or lens is greater than the focal energy distributed on the cornea.
[0026] The sub-lens is any one of a spherical lens, an aspherical lens, a microlens array sub-lens and a plano-convex lens.
[0027] The focal length of each sub-lens satisfies:
[0028]
[0029] where is the focal length of the sub-lens focused on the k th surface of the eyeball, and the k th surfaces = 1 to 5 are the anterior surface of the cornea, the posterior surface of the cornea, the anterior surface of the lens, the posterior surface of the lens and the retina respectively; is the object distance of the i th surface, ; is the radius of curvature of the i th surface of the eyeball; and are respectively the distance and refractive index between the i th surface and the i +1th surface of the eyeball, .
[0030] The deviation amount between the center thickness of each sub-lens and the outer ring lens is compensated according to , where is the refractive index of the sub-lens, is the center thickness deviation amount of the sub-lens.
[0031] The compound surface lens is formed by direct integral machining, by direct molding with a mold, or by combining different curvature surface type thin sheets pasted on a single focus lens.

The computer analyzes the pupil offset amount and transmits the obtained pupil offset amount to the control component. The control component drives the jaw rest movement component to move up and down, thereby achieving rough up and down positioning of the pupil.
[0035] 3. Three-dimensional fine positioning of the pupil: First, according to the signal light spot position calibrated in the software in the eye imaging camera, the pupil image center point is analyzed in real time by the software; then, the offset amount between the pupil center point and the signal light spot center point is analyzed by the software, so that the offset amount can be calculated; finally, according to the offset amount, the host three-dimensional motion mechanism is driven to move, and the pupil is adjusted to the correct position, thereby achieving real-time precise positioning of the pupil.
[0036] 4.

[0062] A computer 5, connected to the control component 4, obtains ophthalmic biological parameters based on the interference peaks and eye images of different reflection surfaces of the eye. Among them, the axial parameters of the eye, including the axial length of the eye, corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness, can be obtained by using the interference peaks of different reflection surfaces of the eye, and the corneal curvature radius, axis angle, pupil size, and white-to-white parameter can be obtained by using the eye image.
[0063] As Figure 2 shown, the multi-focus lens 22 is a compound curved surface lens, and the compound curved surface lens 22 is spliced by sub-lenses 223 with different focal lengths having a certain central thickness and a certain shape. The central thickness refers to the central thickness of the complete lens where the sub-lenses 223 are located. As Figure 3As shown, it is divided from the inside to the outside into an inner ring lens 221 of the light spot irradiation part and an outer ring lens 222 of the non-light spot irradiation part. The inner ring lens 221 of the light spot irradiation part is composed of a plurality of sub-lenses 223 with different focal lengths spliced together.
[0064] The inner ring lens 221 of the light spot irradiation part is divided into several regions, and each region corresponds to an inner sub-lens 2213.
