24 results about "Refraction errors" patented technology

Refractive error, also known as refraction error, is a problem with focusing light accurately onto the retina due to the shape of the eye. The most common types of refractive error are near-sightedness, far-sightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.

An intraocular lens selection and rotational implantation prediction method and electronic device

ActiveCN121983327BAnatomical structuresIntraocular lens
This application discloses a method and electronic device for predicting intraocular lens (IOL) selection and rotation implantation, relating to the field of computer technology. This application acquires the user's ocular biological measurement parameters and constructs an intraocular geometric constraint region. The IOL is abstracted as a rectangular geometries, generating a set of candidate size-axis positions. Each candidate option satisfies the geometric constraints of the patient's intraocular anatomy in terms of implantation position and rotation angle. Based on this, by combining the geometric fit indices of the candidate options with individualized ocular biological parameters, the postoperative arch height, the probability of abnormal arch height, and postoperative refractive results are predicted. After post-processing and calibration, outputs with confidence intervals or risk probabilities are provided. This eliminates reliance on experience or rough estimates for surgical planning, effectively reducing the risk of arch height deviation or postoperative refractive errors, providing the optimal IOL option, and achieving individualized, quantifiable, and predictable implantation planning.

Method, device and medium for estimating diopter based on infrared eccentric photograph image

PendingCN122271925ARefractive errorComputer vision
This invention relates to the field of refractive error detection technology, and discloses a method, device, and medium for estimating refractive power based on infrared off-center photography images. The method uses infrared pupil images of each LED group in an array of LED beads when they are lit as feature images of each channel, forming a pupil feature image. This pupil feature image is input into the refractive error prediction model, where it is convolved through a residual convolutional layer to obtain a primary feature image. This primary feature image is then input into a relative orientation feature module to obtain a relative orientation feature image. The relative orientation feature image is then passed sequentially through multiple cascaded residual blocks to obtain residual features. These residual features are then passed through a global average pooling layer and fed into parallel and independent first and second fully connected layers to obtain predicted spherical and cylindrical refractive power values.

PendingCN122337310ARefractive errorRisk allele
This invention belongs to the field of myopia prevention and control technology, and relates to a method, device, and medium for myopia prevention and control based on genetic and environmental factors. Based on myopia data of each blood relative of the user to be intervened, the variant sites in the myopia-related single nucleotide polymorphism genotype, and the number of risk alleles, a myopia genetic risk index is calculated. Based on the user's daily outdoor activity time, total daily eye use time, daily near-vision time, and daily low-light eye use time over several consecutive days, an outdoor activity stability index, a near-vision load index, and an eye use light stability index are calculated, thus obtaining an environmental myopia risk index. The axial length, refractive error, myopia genetic risk index, and environmental myopia risk index of the user to be intervened are input into an adaptive Bayesian myopia risk prediction model, which outputs the myopia risk change trajectory under different myopia intervention intensities, including the predicted mean and uncertainty interval, thereby obtaining a myopia intervention strategy.
