Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a surgical loupe adjustment tool that can remotely measure data required for adjusting a surgical loupe. [Background technology]

[0002] In medical settings, binocular loupes, also known as medical loupes, surgical loupes, etc., are used (for example, Patent Document 1). By using surgical loupes, the fine structure of tissues can be observed, and delicate operations can be easily performed during surgery. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-184805 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In order to ensure accurate vision, it is important that such surgical loupes are fitted to the wearer's individual vision, face shape, eye position, etc. Conventionally, surgical loupes were adjusted by an adjuster visiting the wearer and measuring the data required for adjustment in person. However, such face-to-face data measurement requires a large amount of manpower, so a method for measuring the data required for adjustment remotely was desired.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a surgical loupe adjustment tool that can remotely measure data required for adjusting surgical loupes. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention is a surgical loupe adjustment tool for remotely measuring data necessary for adjusting surgical loupes by being attached to glasses, the surgical loupe adjustment tool having markers at the top center position of the bridge of the glasses, in front of the left and right nose pads, and at the top positions of the left and right end pieces, a scale portion between the marker at the top center position of the bridge and the markers at the top positions of the left and right end pieces, and a clip portion for attaching to the glasses. The present invention will be described in detail below. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a surgical loupe adjustment tool that can remotely measure data required for adjusting a surgical loupe. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention. FIG. [Diagram 2] 1 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention is attached to spectacles. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, the surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiment shown in the drawings.

[0010] The present invention is a surgical loupe adjustment tool that is attached to eyeglasses to remotely measure data required for adjusting surgical loupes. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention is attached to spectacles. The surgical loupe adjustment tool 1 of the present invention has a clip portion 4 for mounting on the spectacles 5, and is mounted on the spectacles 5 via the clip portion 4. The shape of the clip portion 4 is not limited to the shapes shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and may be any shape as long as it does not cover the center of the lenses of the spectacles, that is, the portion that is an extension of the eye, and can fix the surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention to the spectacles.

[0011] The glasses have a role of fixing the surgical loupe adjustment tool. Any conventional glasses can be used as long as the glasses have a frame thickness that can fix the surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention and a shape that allows a marker to be approximately positioned as described below when the surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention is attached. Note that Fig. 2 uses glasses for surgical loupes having a connection portion for fixing the surgical loupe (a convex portion in the center of the bridge of glasses 5 in Fig. 2) as an example.

[0012] Examples of a method for remotely measuring data required for adjusting a surgical loupe using the surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention include the following method. First, the surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention and the glasses are sent to a wearer, and a face photograph is taken of the wearer wearing the glasses to which the surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention is attached, and image data is obtained. Next, the data of the obtained face photograph is analyzed using image analysis software, so that data necessary for adjusting the surgical loupe can be measured. Examples of data necessary for adjusting the surgical loupe include face width, nose width, and interpupillary distance. The image analysis software is not particularly limited, and already known software or services can be freely used. Specific examples include Google Vision API. In addition, software that processes image data in advance may be used to improve the analysis accuracy of the image analysis software.

[0013] The surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention has markers at least at the upper center position of the bridge of the eyeglasses, at positions in front of the left and right nose pads, and at the upper positions of the left and right end pieces. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the surgical loupe adjustment tool 1 of the present invention has a total of five markers 2, including one at the top of the center of the bridge, one each in front of the left and right nose pads, and one each at the top of the left and right end pieces when attached to the glasses. The marker at the top of the center of the bridge serves to capture the center of the face, the markers in front of the left and right nose pads serve as a reference for measuring the nose width, and the markers at the top of the left and right end pieces serve as a reference for measuring the face width. The surgical loupe adjustment tool 1 of the present invention has the markers 2, so that the image analysis software can accurately recognize the face based on the markers 2, and therefore accurate measurement data can be obtained. The shape and material of the markers are not particularly limited and are appropriately determined according to the specifications of the image analysis software. The markers need only have at least the above five points, and may have six or more points.

[0014] The surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention has a scale portion between the marker at the upper position of the bridge and the marker at the upper position of the end piece. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the surgical loupe adjustment tool 1 of the present invention has a scale section 3, so that accurate distances can be measured even when measuring the interpupillary distance manually. The scale section is preferably provided at a position where the center of the scale is located above the pupil. Although one scale section 3 is provided on each side in Figures 1 and 2, the scale section 3 may be provided on only one side.

[0015] The material of the surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include metal materials, plastic materials, etc. Among these, plastic materials are preferred because they are easy to process and have strength.

[0016] The shape of the surgical loupe adjustment tool of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has the marker, the scale portion, and the clip portion and does not cover the center of the eyeglass lens, i.e., the portion that is an extension of the eye.
