Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical measurement technology, and in particular to an all-in-one eyeball comprehensive parameter measuring instrument and a method for measuring eyeball parameters using the same. Background Art

[0002] With the development of ophthalmic technology, the prevention and treatment of eye diseases have been greatly expanded, such as laser surgery to correct myopia, cataract removal combined with intraocular artificial lens implantation to treat cataracts, corneal refractive surgery to treat myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, etc. Eye biometry technology is also increasingly valued by clinicians.

[0003] Eyeball biometry is the measurement of eyeball structural parameters using various related inspection methods, such as corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, vitreous cavity length, and eyeball axial length, including corneal curvature and eyeball refractive power detection, to provide a basis for the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. How to obtain accurate parameters of each component of the eyeball has always been the direction of research. Any slight error can prevent a perfect operation from achieving the desired effect.

[0004] Currently, the commonly used biometric measuring instrument for eyeball length is ultrasonic measurement, such as A-ultrasound. Its principle is to transmit ultrasonic waves through the human eye and reflect them at the interface of various tissues, and use the amplitude of the echo pulse to determine the position information of each tissue.

[0005] The above-mentioned traditional ultrasonic A-ultrasound measurement has problems such as contact with the cornea during measurement (cross-infection), uncertain alignment (affected by the operator's technique), compression of the anterior chamber, and low accuracy for specific eyes (high myopia, posterior scleral staphyloma, and deformation of the posterior wall of the eyeball).

[0006] In clinical practice, the most commonly used ophthalmometer for eye examination is to check the refractive power of the human eye, but the ophthalmometer cannot prevent the occurrence of myopia and has limited effect on the prevention and control of myopia in adolescents. With the development of medicine, researchers have found that tracking the changes in the ratio of axial length to corneal curvature and refractive power compensation can predict the risk of myopia in adolescents to a certain extent. The measurement equipment of these biological parameters has become a research hotspot and development trend in this field.

[0007] In recent years, there have been instruments that use OCT technology to measure biological eye parameter information. For example, instruments using partial coherence interferometer (PCI) and low coherence reflectometry (LCR) have the advantages of non-contact measurement, high measurement accuracy (10um, ultrasound 100um), and automatic alignment compared to traditional ultrasound A-ultrasound. However, the functions of the above-mentioned measuring instruments are often relatively single. With the maturity of optical measurement technology, the need for technological innovation provides a development direction for equipment that can integrate more technologies, have more complete functions, and are more intelligent and automated. A comprehensive system that can measure multiple eye parameters with complete functions, compact structure, and accurate measurement has become a development trend. However, the multifunctional eye parameter measurement system has put forward higher requirements for design and use. The integration of multifunctional and multi-modules needs to consider the integration and compatibility of more technologies. At the same time, the calibration and maintenance of the equipment are more complicated and time-consuming. In order to ensure accuracy and reliability, the close coordination of software and hardware requires more careful design and debugging. In addition, precision instruments also increase the complexity and difficulty of operation for operators. Summary of the invention

After the light entering the signal light source test arm passes through the first reflector 9 and the second plano-convex lens focusing 14, it is deflected by the dichroic mirror 18, and then transmitted to the measuring eyeball reflection, and the return light is transmitted along the original path to enter the third port of the first optical fiber coupler 4; after the light entering the signal light source zero point arm is reflected by the third reflector, the first plano-convex lens 13 converges the light so that it enters the glass rod 11 completely for transmission, and then reflects at the second reflector 10, and the reflected light is transmitted along the original path to enter the third port of the first optical fiber coupler 4.

[0037] In one embodiment, the scale light source module 50 includes a scale light source 31, a photoelectric unit detector 32, a second fiber coupler 33, a scale light source sample arm, a scale light source reference arm, and a fiber reflector 34; The scale light source 31 is connected to the first port of the second fiber coupler 33, and the second port of the second fiber coupler 33 is connected to the photoelectric unit detector 32.

After the light is reflected by the fiber reflector 34, the returned light enters the third port of the second fiber coupler 33, and the light of the scale light source reference arm is transmitted from the wavelength division multiplexer 29 to the optical delay line 35. After being reflected by the optical delay line 35, the returned light enters the fourth port of the second fiber coupler 33.

The diameter can be used to calculate the corneal curvature radius, corneal transverse diameter and pupil diameter.

[0043] Step S2: fundus sight mark imaging: adjusting the sight mark imaging module to make the image on it clear, and then obtaining the eyeball diopter; this step may include the following sub-steps: Step S21: calibrating the refractive states of the movable lens of the zoom lens assembly of the sight mark imaging module at different positions; Step S22: moving the movable lens of the zoom lens group to change the focal length of the zoom lens group and perform refractive compensation on the retinal image; Step S23: Observe the image clarity of the second camera on the sight mark imaging module during the process of moving the lens, and record the position of the movable lens when the image is the clearest; Step S24: querying the lens position and diopter correspondence table to obtain the eyeball diopter; In the present invention, the diopter of an optical system can be calculated using the formula: in, is the object distance, is the image distance, is the focal length, according to the definition of optical focal length: Where: is the incident light focal length; Since the human eye is defined by the incident light, the optical power is The outgoing light corresponds to Eyeballs; Where: is the optical power of the outgoing light; From the above formula, we can get: The theoretical diopter calculation formula is the difference between focal length and object distance divided by the product of focal length and object distance; By moving the movable lens of the zoom lens group, it can be known that the refractive power of the eyeball can be calculated by making the refractive power of the sight mark imaging module complementary to the refractive power of the eyeball.

[0044] Step S3: Dynamically obtain interference waves: dynamically adjust the distance between the annular light source and the cornea to make the illumination imaging module form a clear image, adjust the detection light to be incident on the eyeball, and also adjust the optical path from the signal light source module to the cornea. The data acquisition card dynamically obtains the interference signal measurement data of the signal light source module; Specifically, the distance between the annular light source 19 and the cornea is dynamically adjusted to make the first camera form a clear image, the detection light is adjusted to be incident on the eyeball, and the optical path from the signal light source module to the cornea is also adjusted, and the data acquisition card dynamically obtains the interference signal measurement data of the signal light source module; In the present invention, the positions of the annular light source 19 and the signal light source sample arm, the signal light source reference arm, the scale light source sample arm and the scale light source reference arm are relatively fixed. At this moment, the positions satisfy the optical path conditions required for the signal light source sample arm and the reference arm, the scale light source sample arm and the reference arm to form a stable interference wave and the distance conditions for a clear image of the first camera. The interference signal waveform includes the waveform on the signal light source test arm, the waveform of the signal light source zero point arm and the interference waveform of the scale light source sample arm and the scale light source reference arm. Step S4: performing mean subtraction, bandpass, and smoothing filtering on the interference signal measurement data, and then calculating the cross-correlation to obtain a signal waveform with a prominent peak signal; Specifically, the measurement data obtained in step S3 is first subjected to mean subtraction flipping processing, and then subjected to bandpass and smoothing mean filtering to obtain a zero-point signal and a peak signal waveform for measuring eye parameters, and then subjected to low-pass filtering to obtain a signal waveform with a prominent peak signal; each measurement result is cross-correlated, and the signal with the largest cross-correlation result is retained for superposition to further remove noise signals; In the present invention, the optical delay line 35 used in the system is a linear motion driven by a voice coil motor 39. Since the voice coil motor 39 vibrates back and forth, it will introduce mechanical noise, resulting in a decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio. Based on this situation, the present invention designs a smoothing filter algorithm to process the low signal-to-noise ratio introduced by excessive vibration. The filtering algorithm flow is referenced to Figure 4 Specifically, for the collected interference signal, first calculate the average value and get Since the original data has both positive and negative values, in order to achieve the flip of negative data, the original data and By making a difference and then finding the absolute value, the negative data can be flipped upward relative to the average value.

[0045] In order to find the peak value corresponding to zero optical path difference and extract the useful signal, the above interference signal is smoothed and filtered. The processing method is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. First, set an appropriate filtering mean window K. The larger the K value, the higher the signal smoothness, but the lower the sensitivity and the slower the operation speed; the smaller the n value, the lower the signal smoothness, but the lower the sensitivity and the faster the operation speed. For the convenience of calculation, n is generally an integer power of 2, such as 4, 8, 16, 32, etc. Then calculate the average of the flipped values ​​and the average of adjacent values ​​within a certain range. Take each average as the new filtered result.

[0046] Taking into account that the measured sample is a biological eyeball, it is inevitable that the biological eyeball will move during the measurement process, resulting in missing layers of the measured biological eyeball. Therefore, the present invention designs a cross-correlation algorithm to perform data segmentation comparison, retaining the data segments whose cross-correlation results are greater than the set threshold, and by processing multiple measurement results, the complete sample information can be calculated.

[0047] Calculate the correlation coefficient of the corresponding position of each range data segment, and the calculation formula is: ; in, is the sample standard deviation of X, and the formula is: , ; is the sample covariance, and the formula is: ; sample , Represents the data of two adjacent scanning ranges. Represents the sample mean of the scanned data, and n is the sample data size.

[0048] Step S5: Peak search and acquisition: Use the processed signal waveform to search for the peak value, find the signal peak value and obtain the position information; Specifically, refer to Figure 6 In this example, for the filtered value, the signal extreme value can be obtained by taking the first-order derivative of the signal, and then the second-order derivative can be used to determine whether the extreme value is a maximum value. Considering that the filtered signal cannot be completely smooth, the minimum interval between peaks, the height threshold and the peak reference height are added here to make the peak value more reasonable.

[0049] The present invention realizes real-time synchronization between data acquisition and the boundary of linear motion. Since linear motion is not unidirectional, the voice coil motor 39 will move back and forth, so the scanning range of the signal sample arm of the corresponding biological eye test system is also a back and forth scan. The present invention uses the boundary of the linear motion of the voice coil motor 39 as the starting point of the scanning range. When the voice coil motor 39 reaches the boundary, the hardware triggers the signal acquisition card to collect signals. When scanning a complete range, the voice coil motor 39 moves to the other end boundary. At this time, the data acquisition card 36 receives the boundary signal and synchronously collects the signal of the next range.

[0050] Step S6: synchronous information acquisition: synchronously acquiring the interference peak of the scale light source module closest to the corresponding position in step S5 by using the scale light source module 50 and the signal light source module 46 to share the same optical delay line; Step S7: Calculation: using the interference wave peak of the ruler light source module as an endogenous position ruler, using the number of interference waveforms of the ruler light source module to calculate the corresponding peak position information interval distance obtained in step S6, and calculating the data of each tissue structure of the human eye; Specifically, the interference wave peak of the ruler light source module 50 is used as an endogenous position ruler, and the number of interference waveforms of the ruler light source module 50 is used to calculate the corresponding peak position information interval distance obtained in step S6, and the data of each tissue structure of the human eye is calculated. The signal waveform diagram of each tissue of the human eye can also be displayed in real time on the data processing unit, and the peak distance information can be displayed at the same time.
