The structure and principle of the present invention will be very clear to those skilled in the art. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0022] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for preparing a reshaped lens of the present application.
[0023] The preparation method of the reshaped lens of the present application comprises:
[0024] Step S1: Calculate the refractive power of the original lens after SMILE surgery by:
[0025] Formula 1: Where t0 is the thickness of the original lens, d is the diameter of the optical zone of the original lens, n is the corneal refractive index, and D is the refractive power of the original lens.
[0026] The lens is scanned by optical coherence tomography to obtain the thickness of the original lens, the diameter of the original lens optical zone and the corneal refractive index, formula 2:
[0027]
[0028] Wherein, t0 is the thickness of the original lens, d is the diameter of the optical zone of the original lens, n is the corneal refractive index, D is the refractive power of the original lens, and R1 is the lens curvature. Equation 2 is simplified to Equation 1 through the binomial expansion.
[0029] Step S2: Adjusting the hydration rate of the original lens to a preset hydration rate threshold. Place the original lens on the contact lens surface, dry it, and then drip a hydration solution to adjust the hydration rate of the original lens to the preset hydration rate threshold.
[0030] In step S2, the SMILE lens is removed and placed on a contact lens (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany), flattened with a sponge, and allowed to dry in a constant temperature and humidity environment (21°C, 50%). After drying, Optisol GS (Baush and Lomb, Irvine, CA) is added dropwise for 5 minutes to achieve an appropriate hydration level (hydration ratio H = 1). It should be noted that the appropriate hydration level can also be determined as follows: ALT = PLT or ALD = PLD. ALT is the central lens thickness measured by OCT; PLT is the value calculated by VisuMax software; ALD is the lens diopter measured by OCT; and PLD is the value obtained by VisuMax software.
[0031] Step S3: Constructing a cutting parameter array diagram, the cutting parameter array diagram includes the diopter of the original lens, the thickness of the original lens, the diameter of the optical zone of the original lens, the diameter of the cut optical zone, the cutting thickness, the cutting diopter, and the diopter of the target lens. The cutting thickness is set based on cutting the central thickness of the original lens to a preset central thickness cutting threshold. The diopter of the target lens is preset, and the cutting diopter is calculated by the following method:
[0032] Rt is the target lens diopter, Rl is the original lens diopter, E is the preset laser cutting efficiency, and A is the cutting diopter.
[0033] For example, the refractive power of the original lens obtained by SMILE is 8D. After laser cutting -15D, the target lens can be obtained: 8+(-15)×0.8=-4, and the target lens with a refractive power of -4D can be obtained.
[0034] The cutting parameter array diagram is as follows:
[0035]
[0036] Step S4: Cut the original lens according to the cutting parameter array diagram to obtain the target lens. During cutting, use a sponge to absorb the liquid on the lens surface, align the laser to the center of the lens, and perform PRK / LASIK mode laser cutting. After cutting, the lens is immersed in a balanced salt solution for transplantation.
[0037] In this embodiment, the preset hydration rate threshold is 1, the preset diameter of the cutting optical zone is 5 mm, the preset laser cutting efficiency is 0.8, and the refractive power of the target lens is in the myopia refractive power range (-1D to -20D), the presbyopia refractive power range (+1D to +2D), and the refractive regression and corneal expansion refractive power range (corneal curvature K is less than 70D).
