ActiveCN118625541BOptical partsAnterior surfaceLanding zone
This invention belongs to the field of contact lens technology, specifically providing a method for designing scleral lenses based on ocular surface and scleral topography. Based on the topography of the anterior surface of the patient's cornea and sclera, the method divides the anterior surface of the cornea and sclera into meridians at equal angles, and designs the surface profile curves of the anterior and posterior surfaces of the scleral lens according to the morphology of the patient's cornea and sclera. Finally, 3D reconstruction is used to obtain the 3D surface profile data of the scleral lens. The optical zone of the scleral lens can be designed in various ways depending on the different shapes of the patient's eyeball; the transition zone can be designed in diverse ways to ensure the thickness of the intraocular fluid at certain locations based on the ocular surface morphology; and the landing zone smoothly conforms to the anterior surface of the sclera. This invention maximizes conformity to the patient's ocular surface morphology, ensures the uniformity of the intraocular fluid, and maintains a high degree of matching with the ocular surface, thereby achieving trial-free scleral lens fitting, improving clinical accuracy and efficiency, and enhancing patient safety and satisfaction.
