AI Technical Summary
The existing I-CARE tonometer lacks a fulcrum at the handle when measuring intraocular pressure, which causes the angle between the probe and the cornea to change easily during the measurement process, resulting in inaccurate measurement results.
A support eye shield for the I-CARE tonometer was designed, including a protective eye frame, a fixing structure, and a telescopic steering mechanism. The protective eye frame is in close contact with the handle of the I-CARE tonometer, and the telescopic steering mechanism and the arc-shaped abutment are used to achieve multi-point support and fixation, ensuring that the probe is perpendicular to the cornea.
It effectively reduces errors caused by device movement during measurement, improves the accuracy and reliability of intraocular pressure measurement, and enhances the stability of the device, especially maintaining the continuity and stability of measurement when the patient moves slightly.

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The present application discloses a kind of I-CARE tonometer with supporting eye shield, comprising:
[0029] Protective eye frame 1, the outside of protective eye frame 1 and the handle of I-CARE tonometer contact, the handle of I-CARE tonometer is limited with the outside of protective eye frame 1 cooperation;
[0030] Fixed structure, fixed structure is connected with protective eye frame 1, for fixing the position of protective eye frame 1;
[0031] Telescopic steering mechanism 2, telescopic steering mechanism 2 is arranged in protective eye frame 1 side close to patient's eye, for adjusting the distance and angle of arc-shaped abutting head 3 with patient, arc-shaped abutting head 3 is arranged in telescopic steering mechanism 2 side close to patient's eye, for with the skin of patient contact and then fixed the position of protective eye frame 1.Arc-shaped abutting head 3 is flexible material, can better adapt to different patient's face profile, reduce the oppression or discomfort possibly caused by hard material, especially for sensitive skin around eye, it is more gentle and friendly.And flexible abutting head can more closely adhere to patient's skin, form better sealing effect, compared with hard material, flexible material is not easy to cause scratch or compression injury when contacting with skin even if slight movement or pressure change occurs, improve the safety of use.
[0032] In use, the protective eye frame 1 is worn on the head of the patient through the fixing structure and is located below the eyeball, the telescopic steering mechanism 2 is adjusted, the arc-shaped abutting head 3 is in contact with the cheek of the patient, and support is formed, in the use of the I-CARE tonometer, the top rod at the top end of the I-CARE tonometer abuts against the forehead of the patient, and the probe is perpendicular to the cornea, at this time, the protective eye frame 1 is in abutment with the handle of the I-CARE tonometer, and the handle of the I-CARE tonometer is prevented from continuing to move towards the direction close to the face of the patient, at this time, the protective eye frame 1 serves as a fulcrum at the handle of the I-CARE tonometer, and the doctor only needs to keep the handle of the I-CARE tonometer in contact with the protective eye frame 1, so that the probe is guaranteed to be perpendicular to the cornea, and the problem that the measurement result is inaccurate due to shaking at the handle in the measurement process is solved.
[0033] The present application can effectively fix the position of the tonometer, reduce the error caused by the movement of the equipment in the measurement process, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the tonometer measurement through the close contact of the protective eye frame 1 with the I-CARE tonometer and the precise cooperation of the telescopic steering mechanism 2 and the arc-shaped abutting head 3.
[0034] Unlike the traditional single fixed point, the present application realizes multi-point support and fixation of the I-CARE tonometer, significantly enhances the stability of the use of the equipment, and ensures the continuity and stability of the measurement even in the case of slight movement of the patient.
[0035] Further, the telescopic steering mechanism 2 is arranged at 90° with the skin.

[0037] The elastic adjusting belt 4 can automatically adapt to the size of the head of the patient and uniformly apply force, ensure that the protective eye shield fits each patient better, and can obtain stable wearing effect regardless of the size of the head circumference. And the elastic adjusting belt 4 disperses the fixing pressure to a wider area of the head, compared with the traditional fixing method which directly acts on the surrounding area of the eye, the compression feeling and discomfort of the eye and the surrounding area can be significantly reduced.
[0038] Further, the bottom end and the inner side of the protective eye frame 1 are fixedly connected with a connecting patch 5, the connecting patch 5 is in contact with the skin of the patient, and is used for improving the wearing comfort of the patient.
[0039] One end of the connecting patch 5 is fixed to the bottom end of the protective eyeglass 1, and the other end of the connecting patch 5 is obliquely arranged and extends to the patient's face to contact the patient's skin. Initially, the connecting patch 5 is deformed by extrusion, and as the telescopic steering mechanism 2 is elongated, the protective eyeglass 1 is pushed away from the patient's face, and the degree of deformation of the connecting patch 5 is reduced. By using the friction between the connecting patch 5 and the skin, the protective eyeglass 1 is further prevented from shaking.
[0040] The connecting patch 5 is made of soft silicone material.

[0043] In use, the length can be adjusted by rotating the threaded sleeve 2012, thereby adjusting the distance between the protective eyeglass 1 and the face, and ensuring that the arc-shaped abutting head 3 contacts the patient's face to form a fulcrum.
[0044] In a further optimization, the universal adjustment assembly 202 is connected with the threaded sleeve 2012 through a connecting cylinder 6.
[0045] The universal adjustment assembly is preferably a ball cage type universal joint, model VL-70, or a cross universal joint, and the present application does not limit this.
[0046] This universal adjustment mechanism ensures that even if the patient's face profile is different, the best alignment position with the eyes can be achieved, improving the universality and accuracy of the measurement.

[0048] The connecting column 7 is arranged at 90° with the skin.
[0049] The silicone material is soft and elastic, can closely fit the skin surface, and can form a good sealing effect even on uneven parts, which helps to improve the stability and measurement accuracy of the equipment. Moreover, the silicone surface is smooth, not easy to absorb dust and dirt, easy to clean and disinfect, and meets the hygiene requirements of medical and health products.
