[0042] Embodiments

[0043] The embodiments of the present application provide a hard contact lens fitting device for checking whether the hard contact lens is fitted by using fluorescein, as shown in the drawings, comprising: a colored test paper 1 and a holding handle 2, the holding handle 2 being connected to the colored test paper 1. Figure 1

[0044] The shape of the colored test paper 1 includes a cylindrical shape, and the end of the colored test paper 1 away from the holding handle 2 extends in the axial direction of the holding handle 2 to form a colored part 11 with a curved surface.

[0045] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the shape of the colored test paper 1 is a cylindrical shape, and the curved surface of the colored part 11 helps the fluorescein to cover the surface of the eyeball more uniformly during use, so that the fluorescein is effectively coated, thereby improving the uniformity of the coloring and improving the accuracy of the hard contact lens fitting result; it also helps to reduce the discomfort of the patient during the fitting process and optimize the fitting experience of the patient.

[0046] The shape of the holding handle 2 includes a rod shape, and the end of the holding handle 2 connected to the colored test paper 1 extends in the radial direction of the holding handle 2 to form a disc-shaped stop part 21 for stopping the fluorescein adsorbed by the colored test paper 1.

[0047] The design of the holding handle 2 helps the fitter to easily control and improves the stability and comfort of the operation, reducing errors caused by improper operation.

[0048] The stop part 21 can effectively prevent the fluorescein from dripping or leaking during the operation, reduce the risk of cross infection, and to some extent, protect the safety of the patient. At the same time, the stop part 21 can also prevent the fluorescein from staining the hands of the fitter, which also helps to avoid the pollution of the fluorescein to some extent.

[0049] More specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the fluorescein is sodium fluorescein which presents orange-red color. Of course, the specific type of fluorescein is not limited, as long as it meets the use requirements.​

[0050] Further, as shown in Figure 5 With Figure 6 the stop portion 21 is recessed towards the direction in which the coloring test paper 1 faces the holding handle 2.

[0051] The shape feature of the recessed stop portion 21 can guide the flow of fluorescein, help to concentrate and collect excess fluorescein, thereby avoiding the accumulation of fluorescein at the edge, preventing loss or overflow, and to some extent, avoiding the contamination of fluorescein to the dispensing personnel, so as to effectively prevent the direct contact of fluorescein with the hands and reduce the risk of cross contamination.

[0052] Further, as shown in Figure 3 With Figure 4 the holding handle 2 is hollow, and one or more gaps 22 are formed at the end of the holding handle 2 away from the coloring test paper 1, the extension direction of the gap 22 is the same or approximately the same as the axial direction of the holding handle 2,

[0053] It can be understood that the hollow structure reduces the use of materials and can greatly reduce the overall weight compared to the solid design; lightweight design makes the rigid contact lens dispensing device easier to carry, and also reduces hand fatigue of the dispensing personnel during long-time operation, improving comfort and use experience; lightweight design also helps the dispensing personnel to operate the device more flexibly, increasing the accuracy of the coloring effect.

[0054] At least two gaps 22 are distributed around the circumferential direction of the holding handle 2 to form at least two matched support portions 23, which can be bent relative to the holding handle 2 to realize the switching of the rigid contact lens dispensing device between the handheld state and the support state.

[0055] The bending function of the support portion 23 allows the dispensing personnel to freely switch between the handheld state and the support state, improves the adaptability of the rigid contact lens dispensing device, and meets the needs of different use scenarios; for example, multiple colorings are needed, and the rigid contact lens dispensing device needs to be used and placed multiple times during the process of checking the configuration effect of the rigid contact lens; in the support state, the rigid contact lens dispensing device can be stably placed, reducing the hand fatigue of the user, which is particularly important during long-time operation; the support portion 23 can provide additional support, so that the rigid contact lens dispensing device will not easily fall or move during placement, thereby improving the safety and accuracy of the operation.

[0056] Further, in the support state of the rigid contact lens dispensing device, the projection of the center of gravity on the support plane is located within the range formed by all the support portions 23 on the support plane.

[0057] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the support plane can be a table top;

[0058] The projection of the center of gravity of the hard contact lens fitting device on the support plane is located within the range formed by all the support portions 23 on the support plane, which enhances the stability of placement, and the center of gravity within the range of the support portions 23 makes the hard contact lens fitting device less likely to tip over, providing better stability and avoiding accidental sliding or tipping over during placement, thereby improving the safety of use of the hard contact lens fitting device.

[0059] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the outer cover 3 is also included;

[0060] The outer cover 3 is formed with a transparent portion (not shown in the figure), and the outer cover 3 matches the shape of the colored test paper 1, as shown in Figure 6 , the inner wall of the outer cover 3 is provided with one or more buckling portions 31 distributed circumferentially along the outer cover 3;

[0061] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the outer cover 3 can use transparent materials;

[0062] The outer cover 3 provides effective dustproof function, while the transparent portion still maintains visibility, enhancing the cleanliness of the hard contact lens fitting device while maintaining the visibility of the hard contact lens fitting device.

[0063] The end of the stop portion 21 towards the holding handle 2 is provided with a buckling groove 211, and the buckling portion 31 is buckled into the buckling groove 211 after being arranged on the holding handle 2 with the outer cover 3.

[0064] The outer cover 3 matches the shape of the colored test paper 1, so that it can effectively protect the colored test paper 1 after covering and is not easy to slide or shift, avoiding the influence of dust, dirt and other external factors on the colored test paper 1; the design of the buckling portion 31 and the buckling groove 211 provides firm connection and prevents the outer cover 3 from accidentally falling off, enhancing safety and stability.

[0065] Further, as shown in Figure 6 , the end of the holding handle 2 connected to the colored test paper 1 is provided with a connecting portion 24, and the inner diameter of the connecting portion 24 gradually decreases towards the end close to the colored test paper 1;

[0066] The end of the colored test paper 1 away from the coloring portion 11 is provided with an annular protrusion 12, which is adapted to the connecting portion 24 to realize the detachable connection of the colored test paper 1 and the holding handle 2.

[0067] The detachable connection design enables the fitting personnel to conveniently replace the coloring test paper 1, thereby improving the flexibility and use convenience of the hard contact lens fitting device; the gradually decreasing inner diameter of the connecting portion 24 can make the coloring test paper 1 more stable when being inserted, and to a certain extent, avoid loosening or falling off; the matching design of the annular protrusion 12 and the connecting portion 24 can effectively prevent the coloring test paper 1 from accidentally detaching during use, thereby increasing the safety of the operation.

[0068] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , the coloring test paper 1 is uniformly distributed with a plurality of concave points 13 on the surface.

[0069] The concave points 13 increase the roughness of the surface of the coloring test paper 1, which helps to improve the adsorption capacity of fluorescein, so that the fluorescein can be uniformly distributed on the coloring test paper 1. The uniform distribution of the concave points 13 also helps to improve the consistency of the fluorescein color effect at different positions of the coloring test paper 1, reduces the error caused by uneven coating, and thus improves the reliability of the fitting result. At the same time, the design of the concave points 13 also helps to reduce the formation of bubbles on the surface of the liquid, thereby avoiding interference with the test results; and helps to avoid pollution caused by the leakage of fluorescein.

[0070] Further, the inner diameter of the coloring test paper 1 gradually decreases from the end connected to the holding handle 2 to the end of the coloring portion 11.

[0071] The gradually decreasing inner diameter can make the coloring test paper 1 more secure when being inserted into the holding handle 2, thereby reducing the possibility of falling off due to loosening and optimizing the use of the coloring process. In addition, the fitting personnel can more easily position the coloring test paper 1 to the correct position of the holding handle 2 under the guidance of the change of the inner diameter of the holding handle 2 when being inserted, thereby simplifying the operation steps and improving the use experience. The gradually decreasing inner diameter can also effectively prevent the fluorescein from leaking along the connecting portion of the coloring test paper 1, thereby reducing the possible pollution risk in the fitting process.

[0072] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , the holding handle 2 is also provided with a plurality of hollow portions 25.

[0073] The hollow design of the holding handle 2 can effectively reduce the overall weight of the handle, making it more convenient for the fitting personnel to use and reducing fatigue; the hollow portions 25 can also increase air circulation, thereby improving the comfort of holding, especially when used for a long time, which can reduce the discomfort caused by sweating of the palm; the hollow design can also provide better friction, increase the stability of holding, prevent slipping, and improve the safety of the operation.

[0074] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , the holding handle 2 is also provided with a holding portion 26 matched with the shape of the fingers.

[0075] The holding part 26 in line with the shape of the fingers can better fit the shape of the hands of the fitting personnel, can effectively disperse the pressure of the hands, reduce hand fatigue, improve the comfort of use, and conform to the principle of ergonomics; the holding part 26 designed according to the shape of the fingers can also provide better gripping force, prevent slipping, and improve the safety of operation; the holding part 26 in line with the design of the fingers can make the fitting personnel more flexible when performing fine operations, and improve the accuracy of operation.

[0076] The embodiments of the present application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0077] The hard contact lens fitting device provided by the embodiments of the present application can help to improve the uniformity of the distribution of fluorescein, improve the accuracy of the fitting result, and also can reduce the possibility of pollution caused by leakage of fluorescein;

[0078] Specifically, the colored test paper 1 is provided with a curved coloring part 11, which can help the fluorescein to fully cover the surface of the eyeball during the coloring process, so that the fluorescein is uniformly distributed, thereby improving the accuracy of the hard contact lens fitting, and the disc-shaped stop part 21 is formed along the radial direction of the holding handle 2, which can effectively prevent the fluorescein from dripping or leaking during the operation, reduce the risk of cross contamination, and protect the safety of the patient's eyes.

The modules of the above implementation scenario can be combined as one module, or can be further split into multiple sub-modules.
