13 results about "Corneal shape" patented technology

Keratoconus is the most common type of corneal ectasia. When a cornea stretches out and loses its shape, it is most common for the central area of the cornea to bulge and thin out like a cone (keratoconus). Other patterns of shape changes are possible as well (pellucid marginal degeneration, keratoglobus).

Orthokeratology lens fitting method, orthokeratology lens fitting system, portable shooting equipment and electronic equipment

The invention discloses an orthokeratology lens fitting method and system, portable shooting equipment and electronic equipment. According to the method, the lens parameters are dynamically optimized in real time, and the problem of adaptation deviation caused by cornea morphological change in traditional fitting is directly solved. A continuous adjustment mechanism of lens radian and pressure distribution can accurately match biomechanical characteristics of the cornea of a patient, and local compression or insufficient correction caused by long-term wearing is avoided. The adaptive capacity remarkably improves the fitting degree of the lens and the cornea, the vision correction effect is more stable, meanwhile, the eye discomfort risk caused by fixed parameters is reduced, the intelligent dynamic parameter optimization engine combines professional judgment of doctors with an automatic algorithm, and the intelligent dynamic parameter optimization engine is more efficient. Therefore, the fitting process is converted into a continuous tracking dynamic closed loop from a single static operation. A doctor can check a parameter adjustment track in real time through the cloud platform and quickly confirm an optimization scheme, so that the time cost of manual repeated measurement and calculation is reduced.

Contact lens shift detection for head-mounted display devices

Systems and methods are disclosed to enable detection of excessive contact lens shift in a head-mounted display (HMD) device that implement gaze tracking for the user. In embodiments, during a user enrollment process to calibrate the gaze tracking system, the HMD device analyzes key frames of the eye to estimate a first center location of the eye based on detected eye features such as the pupil, the iris, or the limbus, and a second center location of the eye based on the shape of the detected cornea. Shift vectors are generated based on the two center locations for individual key frames. If the standard deviation of the vectors' magnitudes exceeds a specified threshold, excessive lens shift is detected. In response to detection of excessive contact lens shift, the HMD device may generate a notification to the user or activate compensation mechanisms.

Femtosecond laser multi-degree-of-freedom personalized corneal reshaping method and system with intracorneal implants

ActiveCN122075184AAchieve customized curvatureAchieve form changesEye implantsLaser beam welding apparatusLaser processingFemto second laser
This application relates to a femtosecond laser multi-degree-of-freedom personalized reshaping method and system for intracorneal implants, belonging to the field of femtosecond laser processing technology. Utilizing the cold processing characteristics of femtosecond lasers, the intracorneal implant is individually cut and ablated to obtain the desired three-dimensional corneal shape, precisely shaping the curvature, thickness, and contour of the lens to perfectly match the patient's corneal capsule or lesion area. By leveraging the nonlinear optical effect induced at the focal point of the femtosecond laser, the stromal collagen network in the weak areas corresponding to corneal expansion can be densified through laser processing, significantly improving the local elastic modulus and resistance to deformation. In areas requiring a smooth transition with the recipient cornea or adjustment of refractive power, controllable micropores or low-density areas can be induced, appropriately reducing local stiffness, thereby achieving a spatial gradient distribution of internal mechanical properties and customizing the overall mechanical behavior and morphological stability after implantation.

A corneal reshaping lens based on big data elliptical model

ActiveCN119781186BOptical partsEngineeringCorneal shape
The present invention relates to the technical field of orthokeratology lenses based on big data elliptical models, and in particular to an orthokeratology lens based on a big data elliptical model. The orthokeratology lens based on the big data elliptical model significantly improves the fit between the lens and the cornea by designing a positioning arc area that fits the patient's cornea more closely, thereby improving the wearing comfort and stability of the lens. Compared with the traditional design method based on the average curvature of the junction point, the virtual elliptical model provides a continuously changing curvature calculation of the positioning arc area, so that the lens design is more in line with the actual corneal shape and thus better matches the patient's cornea. In addition, since the design can obtain a preset eccentricity value based on the patient's corneal radius, the optometrist can accurately fit the glasses without additional knowledge or operation, avoiding the problem of inaccurate or low efficiency of orthokeratology lens fitting due to lack of experience of doctors (or optometrists), thereby improving the fitting efficiency, accuracy and wearing comfort of orthokeratology lenses.
