Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ophthalmic surgery technology, specifically relating to a forehead and chin support frame for patients in the prone position of the fundus. Background Technology
[0002] The cornea, iris, and lens at the front of the eyeball are defined by ophthalmologists as the anterior segment, while the vitreous humor, retina, and choroid at the back are defined as the posterior segment. The bottom of the posterior segment is called the fundus. The fundus consists of the retina, retinal blood vessels, optic nerve head, optic nerve fibers, the macula on the retina, and the choroid behind the retina. Diseases in these areas are collectively called fundus diseases. The main harm of fundus diseases is to vision; in severe cases, they can lead to blindness. Fundus diseases are numerous, with complex causes and variable symptoms. Early symptoms of peripheral fundus diseases often go unnoticed by patients. By the time patients experience vision loss, the disease may already be quite advanced. However, lesions in the central areas of the fundus, such as the macula and optic nerve, can significantly affect vision.
[0003] When patients undergo treatment for fundus diseases, they often need to maintain a prone position, requiring facial support to prevent pressure on the eyes. Common support devices typically support the forehead and chin. However, in practice, because the patient's face is downward, it is inconvenient for medical staff to observe the patient's eyes, affecting the treatment process. Furthermore, some forehead-chin supports can obstruct the patient's eyes, further hindering observation. Therefore, a forehead-chin support frame for prone fundus patients is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
