Specific embodiment
Below by schematic diagram in detail the present invention and its advantage are described in detail.
The schematic configuration of instrument is illustrated in Fig. 2.In order to measure axial length by the light of laser diode 1 through Michael Inferior interferometer 3-5, dichroic cube 8 and diffraction optical element doe9 are imaged onto in patient's eyes 14, Michelson's interferometer 3-5 by having illuminator 4, here for a kind of fixed reference arm r1 of three conjunction prisms, with by by other illuminators 5 (three Close prism) a kind of scalable reference arm r2 represented by diverse location, and be used for overlapping institute's reflected beam in r1 and r2 A kind of partial beam-dividing cube 3 forms.Diode 7 monitors the luminous power of laser diode 1.Cornea and view by eyes 14 The part beam that film is reflected overlaps each other, and by doe9, the light splitting with the λ/4 plate p1 for rotatory polarization plane is stood Cube 8, the dichroic cube 15 with λ/2 plate p2 by these part beam line focus elements, here for achromat 16 It is imaged onto on avalanche photodide apd 17.Here carries out axial length by illustrated known method for example in us5673096 Measurement.
In order to observe eyes and the reflection being formed, by achromat 22 by reflection light (light coming from eyes) A part be imaged onto on ccd video camera 23 through minute surface 20.Achromat 18,19 heres are outwards shown.Aperture 21 exists This is located on the position withdrawn from.
In order to measure corneal curvature hhk, outstanding by 6 under the angle to about 18 ° of optical axis a1 similar in appearance to dd 251497 It is infrared led 10 to illuminate eyes 14, is located at drawing when exemplarily illustrating in FIG in these infrared led 10 In plane two.Eyelet aperture 10a has been disposed to be used for generating point-like illumination image after led.
Collimation for diode light arranges six lens 11 on illumination direction after led.By this light source The image that (as the reflection of cornea) is formed in eyes is through dichroic cube 8 and 15 and achromat 18 and 19 imaging To on ccd video camera.Doe9 advantageously outwards shows here, but can also keep in the light path.Achromat 22 outwards show.
For determining vtk, by led diode 12 under about 33 ° of angle, gap aperture 12a and cylindrical lenss 13 Illuminate each eye slot-shapedly.By the produced dispersion image of cornea and crystalline body front surface through dichroic cube 8 and 15 And achromat 18 and 19 is imaged onto on the ccd video camera 23 in the doe especially outwards showing.Achromat 22 Outwards show.
Fig. 3 is front view on direction of observation for the instrument, and here has omitted the known gap lamp cross adjusting for x/y/z The diagram of workbench.
It is seen that: doe 9 (position of optical axis in instrument be marked on its central point a1), with positioned at this it Sightless led 10 afterwards determining the lens 11 of corneal curvature, cylindrical lenss 13 He that the gap for measuring vkt is imaged Illumination for eyes 14 and the six ir diodes 24 correcting.
The measuring task by the light path a-d leading to ccd video camera 23 from eyes 14 should more accurately be illustrated by Fig. 4.
The correction to eyes for light path c: the instrument
Eyes are located on the focal length of achromat 18, towards infinite distance imaging, and are imaged onto ccd through achromat 22 and take the photograph In the plane of camera.Achromat 19 is outwards shown here.
There is provided positioning light by laser diode (ld) or led 1 to patient, so as he by eye pupil towards optical axis Direction orients.It is necessary the larger fragment (such as 15mm) of eyes 14 is imaged onto on ccd video camera.Doe is small due to it Efficiency (in focusing block about 5%) is poorly suited for iris structure imaging so that have solid imaging scale by disappearing The optical system of aberration lens 18 and 22 composition is implemented as picture.Doe here is preferentially outwards shown.In order to not produce to patient Raw additional positioning is stimulated, by the ir diode 24 (Fig. 2) being especially characterized with broad reflection characteristic (big half-value angle) (such as 880nm) carries out the illumination of eyes 14.Carry out instrument through known in the adjustable gap in x/y/z direction lamp cross table The correction to patient for the device.The vcm3405 of Philip for example can be adopted as ccd video camera.The illumination of eyes is necessary, with Just patient can be adjusted to instrument even in dark room.Region for 15mm should diffusely be illuminated as far as possible, Light source be can be by the imaging of cornea and cannot be avoided (because effect of cornea blistering minute surface).
Basic idea is here, and the device being used for illuminating advantageously is used in the correction of patient's eyes simultaneously.
Have the six of larger half-value angle in the upper arrangement of circumference (sometimes: identical circumference as when cornea instrument measures) Individual infrared led 24.These led 24 are imaged onto 6 points on ccd video camera on cornea.In lc display or prison Patient's eyes are shown on visual organ lively;Lcd/ monitor additionally showing, a kind of circle/cross hairs are used for centre mark.For The positioning of eyes must adjust 6 points-realize this point by mobile cross table with one heart for shown circle;If These point be centering and high-visible if, patient is correctly adjusted in height/side/depth.Patient oneself court Instrument looks-therefrom projection patient must navigate to calibration of laser diode 1 thereon or led1a.Permissible at the center of pupil See laser-bounce.
A kind of additional regulation auxiliary should be shown on lc display or monitor.Interference signal for axial length measuring instrument Detection be scheduled that a kind of avalanche photodide apd.When patient's eyes are on the optical axis of measuring instrument, before cornea Surface reflection correction laser diode 1 or led 1a;By the image formation by rays of reflection on apd.Therefore its (phase is generated by apd Right) height represent patient's eyes centering a yardstick d. c. voltage signal.By this d. c. voltage signal through a/d transducer It is conveyed to the computer of inside, and (such as bar/circle) is shown on lcd therefrom in an appropriate form.Therefore pass through bar/circle Different size the other information of the correcting state for patient's eyes is sent to operator.
Light path d:alm
Through the doe as parallel light path and through achromat 22 by the catoptric imaging of laser diode 1 (such as 780nm) To on ccd video camera 23, here shows in the case that the microscope group 18,19 for observation and Reflective regulation is outwards shown and is about The eyes fragment of 5mm.In order to maximum energy is transferred on apd 17, will be total on dichroic cube 15 shown in fig. 2 Most of about 80-95% of being advantageously more than of energy exports on apd;The light of therefore only about 20-5% is fallen ccd and is taken the photograph On camera.
Light path b: cornea instrument
Preferentially it is illuminated similar in appearance to dd251497 by six ir diodes 10 (such as 880nm), so that without prejudice to will Patient's eyes 14 are fixed on the positioning light of ld 1 or led 1a.
The resolution requirement that ccd video camera 23 gives is not more than the imaging in the region of about 6mm on eyes 14, to reach The certainty of measurement of 0.05mm.Preferentially again through the effect outwards showing elimination doe, and achromat 18 and 19 is realized The imaging of 6 corneal reflex images.
Make to improve that certainty of measurement unrelated to the distance of instrument with patient's eyes to a great extent is used has:
- telecentricity the aperture 21 that the aperture of measurement is restricted on particular less than 0.05, and
- be located between led and patient's eyes, independently maintain the constant standard of angle of incidence with the axial location of patient's eyes Straight collimator 11.
The eyelet aperture 10a that precise calibration through making cornea instrument measurement point is possibly realized advantageously carries out led light Imaging.Collimating light pipe focal length should be greater than 50 times of efficient light sources size, independently to reach being wished of radius measurement with position The certainty of measurement hoped.
Light path a:vkt
Because when observing the optical cross-section in eye, light scattering plays conclusive effect it is necessary to select shortwave as far as possible The light source of (such as 400-600nm) is used for the illumination of eyes 14.
Even determine in vkt to reach the certainty of measurement of required 0.1mm it is necessary to by being not more than on eyes 14 The regional imaging of about 6mm is on ccd video camera 23.
Pass through achromat 18 and 19 real under conditions of avoiding doe effect or in the case of the doe outwards showing Existing this point.Achromat 22 is outwards shown.
Telecentricity aperture 21 that inwardly swing in here or regulation must have (preferential be more than 0.07-such as 13mm Aperture) larger diameter, only minimally to reduce the light intensity of the weak dispersion image of formed light when vkt measures. Aperture 21 is adjustable therefore at least two positions, or tradable with second aperture.
Laterally under fixing angle, this is illuminated by bright light gap and test eye.With optical system 18,19, 21 optical cross-sections forming the here on eyes are imaged onto on ccd video camera.Illumination and observation here form preferential about 33 ° Fixing angle.
Fig. 8 a, b schematically show the device for obtaining vkt, display lighting direction in Fig. 8 a, and show in figure 8b Detection direction.
Predetermined distance is had to fixed width gap 12a by a line, the strong led of light 12 is forming light gap. The gap illuminating in this way 12a is imaged onto on test eye as slot image s by cylindrical lenss 13.It is contemplated that adopting Led typically has the life-span of at least 10000 hours.(as comparing: Halogen light 100-200 hour).Do not exist due to The wear phenomenon of high-temperature load as on Halogen light.
Imaging microscope group 18,19 realization through schematically showing will have tester's eye imaging of important image segments to especially On its ccd sensor.Telecentrically carry out being imaged-telecentricity aperture 21, to reduce the impact of tester's correction.In monitor or lc Video signal is shown so that operator can carry out tester's correction and measurement under not being subject to compulsory posture on display.Survey Amount method is not based on measurable displacement of parts of images;Therefore pupil divides and can cancel.By frame grabber fg, ccd is taken the photograph The signal of camera 23 is received in the memorizer of computer c.By suitable image processing software obtain in cross-sectional image from Wherein calculate the distance of vkt (precision 0.1mm).(for example passing through to exclude ambient light) reaches the improvement of important picture material, adopts Method be synchronized with an appropriate form video half image ground beat switch on and off illumination led.
The achromat of one regulation focal length is satisfied with eye imaging to ccd video camera.Answer depending on eyes The desired image segments of imaging carry out the determination of focal length.The aperture 21 meeting telecentric condition is arranged in the figure of achromat On the focal length of image side.This simple structure of imaging system ensures the probability being integrated in other system uncomplicatedly.
Enter to be about to positioning light 1 through the beam splitter 8 in Fig. 8 b, 1a (led) combines in focus.Light source is integrated in observing (such as tester navigates to led1a or laser diode 1 thereon) in system.Monitor or lc display show and takes the photograph The video signal of camera.Tester adjustment and measurement during operator it is believed that tester be properly positioned-and Therefore measurement result is undeformed.By cylindrical lenss, the gap illuminating in this way is imaged onto on test eye 14. There is 0.1 big small-bore, the imaging being slightly offset from 1:1 imaging in 0.3mm width gap, and proved using white light led Particularly advantageous.
Imaged microscope group 18,19 is realized sensing tester's eye imaging with important image segments to especially ccd On device.Telecentrically it is imaged, to reduce the impact of tester's correction.Monitor or lc display showing, video is believed Number so that operator can carry out tester's correction and measurement under not being subject to compulsory posture.
For example by frame grabber, the signal of ccd video camera is received in the memorizer of computer.Scheme by suitable As process software obtain in cross-sectional image from the distance wherein calculating vkt (precision 0.1mm).(for example passing through to exclude ambient light) Reach the improvement of important picture material, the method for employing be synchronized with an appropriate form video half image ground beat connect and Disconnect illumination led.
Below by Fig. 7 narration, how to obtain vkt by the image on ccd matrix.With calibration of laser or positioning led Reflected image fi illustrate by ccd camera acquisition eye image and connect illumination 1 when cornea and lens sl dissipate Penetrate light sh.
