Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for monitoring eyeball emmetropization, which is the process of eyeball growth and refractive development influenced by visual feedback, are not sensitive enough to reflect the direction and degree of dynamic regulation, leading to delayed detection of nearsightedness or farsightedness, necessitating a more precise and timely assessment for individualized treatment plans.
Innovation Solution
A monitoring method and system using retinal optical characteristic data, including volumetric strain analysis of the retinal photofocal plane or wavefront, to establish a mathematical model for accurate and individualized monitoring and prediction of eyeball emmetropization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If eye axial variation and refractive status are used to monitor eyeball emmetropization, then the monitoring method is simple, but the sensitivity and timeliness of detecting refractive development trends are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the monitoring process into multiple components: acquiring eyeball data information, calculating retinal optical characteristic data through mathematical models, and analyzing the results. This segmentation allows the system to use simple axial length measurements combined with mathematical modeling to achieve high sensitivity without requiring complex measurement devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the monitoring approach by changing from directly measuring complex optical parameters to calculating retinal optical characteristic data from axial length variations using mathematical models. This parameter transformation enables timely detection of refractive development trends while maintaining measurement simplicity.
2Loss of time
If traditional optometry examination and eye axis test are used, then the diagnostic accuracy is adequate, but the detection is delayed until nearsightedness is already established
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by calculating retinal optical characteristic data from axial length measurements to predict future refractive status before actual refractive errors develop. This allows early intervention by detecting abnormal growth trends before they manifest as clinical nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by using calculated retinal optical characteristic data to reflect the dynamic regulation status of eyeball emmetropization in real-time. This feedback mechanism enables continuous monitoring of growth trends and timely adjustment of monitoring or intervention strategies.
3Reliability
If individualized treatment plans are developed, then the treatment effectiveness is improved, but the requirement for precise monitoring increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by calculating individualized retinal optical characteristic data for each patient based on their specific axial length measurements and mathematical models. This individualized approach provides precise monitoring data tailored to each patient's emmetropization characteristics, enabling effective personalized treatment planning.
