Description

Ophthalmic measurement system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ophthalmic measurement, in particular to an ophthalmic measurement system.
Background
Nowadays, more and more old people suffering from cataract eye diseases are transplanted with artificial lenses, and the artificial lenses are an effective scheme for treating cataract widely used at present. However, the parameters required for calculation of the intraocular lens are more demanding, such as cornea anterior and posterior surface curvature, cornea thickness, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, lens anterior and posterior surface curvature, eye axis length, white-to-white distance, pupil diameter, etc. The measured parameters are more, but a plurality of medical devices are often needed to detect the measured parameters, so that the complete data can be obtained. Thus, if one device can be realized, the medical device can obtain the data, and for the detection of a patient, the convenience of measurement can be improved, and the accuracy of measurement can be improved.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT, optical Coherence Tomography) is an emerging optical imaging technique, and compared with the traditional clinical imaging means, the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has the advantages of high resolution, high imaging speed, no radiation damage, moderate price, compact structure and the like, and is an important potential tool for basic medical research and clinical diagnosis application. Currently, among a variety of ophthalmic apparatuses using optical instruments, OCT apparatuses for ophthalmic examination and treatment have become an ophthalmic apparatus indispensable for diagnosis of ophthalmic diseases.
The prior art adopts a time domain tomography technology to measure the axial length, and has low speed and low measurement accuracy.
Patent document 200710020707.9 discloses a measurement method for measuring the eye axial length by OCT. Although this method can achieve measurement of the eye axis length of the human eye and various animal living bodies, the method has the following two disadvantages: 1, a moving probe of a stepping motor is adopted to realize the adjustment of the optical path, thereby realizing the imaging of cornea and fundus. The motor needs a certain time to move forwards and backwards, the front section and the rear section can not be switched rapidly and imaged in real time, and the eyes of the measured object shake, so that the length of the measured eye axis is inaccurate, and the error is large; 2. because of the different structures of cornea and fundus, the same probe cannot be focused at both positions, resulting in poor imaging quality, which is an unavoidable disadvantage of this approach.
The prior patent ' an ophthalmic optical coherence tomography system ' has the application number 201290000031.1 ' and adopts a plurality of switching mechanisms, so that the instrument cost is higher.
The prior patent ' an OCT system and method for measuring an optical path value of an eye axis ' application number 201410214827.2 ' introduces a cornea position alignment technique without switching anterior and posterior segments, but without anterior segment measurement function, and a cornea curvature measurement function (or not mentioned). The cornea is measured an additional time. Rapid diagnosis of the patient cannot be achieved.
The prior patents "ophthalmic measurement system and method," application number 201810130278.9 "and" ophthalmic measurement system, "application number 201910116857.2". The scanning device needs to scan and switch, and a certain time interval exists between front and back section measurement. And limited by the multipurpose use of the scanning device, the degree of freedom of the system light path design is not high enough.
The prior art patent "an OCT-based ocular axis measurement method and apparatus, application number 202110916582.8", uses a beam splitter 10 to split the sample arm light and the reference arm light (see paragraph 0074). It can't carry out the optical path according to the different eye axial length of people's eye in anterior and posterior festival and adjust. In addition, after the light emitted by the SLD light source 1 is split by the optical fiber coupler 2, the first OCT light beam and the second OCT light beam are generated by the first optical fiber collimating lens 3 and the second optical fiber collimating lens 4 and respectively enter the left side and the right side of the rotation shaft of the scanning vibrating lens 15, and the layout of the optical path structure can also be seen that the first OCT light beam and the second OCT light beam need to be distributed by adopting the left side and the right side of the rotation shaft of the scanning vibrating lens 15, but the structural distribution not only increases the lens width of the scanning vibrating lens 15, thereby reducing the vibration speed, but also introduces doppler frequency shift, thereby weakening the imaging signal intensity.

By making the rear-section detection light and the front-section detection light incident on the rotation axis, the Doppler shift phenomenon caused by that the detection light is not incident on the axis is avoided.
The optical fiber beam splitting device 1105 adopts an optical switch or an optical fiber coupler or an optical filter or a wavelength division multiplexer to split the rear section detection light and the front section detection light, so that the front section detection light and the rear section detection light are emitted through different optical fibers. In contrast, the optical switch is adopted to perform front-back section measurement, the switching time is required, but the optical path switching speed is faster than that of the traditional galvanometer, and the optical fiber coupler and the wavelength division multiplexer can be adopted to image simultaneously, but the imaging quality is poorer than that of the optical switch. Wherein the different areas of the scanning device reflect, may be different areas of a single reflective surface, or the front and back sides of the scanning mirror. The front and back sides of the scanning lens are designed to reflect, so that the front and back sides of the scanning lens can be utilized, the size of the lens can be reduced, and the vibration speed and the scanning speed are improved. The optical path adjusting device also has different implementation schemes.
The back section detection light and the front section detection light are split by the optical fiber splitting device, reflected by different areas of the optical path scanning device and respectively enter the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the back section and the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the front section of the eye.
In some embodiments, optical fiber splitting device 1105 employs an optical switch. The optical switch is capable of selectively transmitting the probe light to the posterior segment OCT sample arm optical path or the anterior segment OCT sample arm optical path. When performing OCT imaging of the posterior segment of the eye, the OCT imaging device is controlled by the computer 1143, so that the sample light from the fiber coupler 1103 enters the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the posterior segment of the eye after passing through the fiber spectroscopic device 1105. When performing OCT imaging of the anterior segment of the eye, the OCT imaging device is controlled by the computer 1143, so that the sample light from the fiber coupler 1103 enters the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the anterior segment of the eye after passing through the fiber spectroscopic device 1105.
In other embodiments, the fiber optic splitter 1105 employs a fiber optic coupler 1103, and the splitting effect (split according to different light energy ratios) of the fiber optic coupler 1103 results in a decrease in signal-to-noise ratio of the OCT imaging of the posterior segment and the OCT imaging of the anterior segment, which affects the imaging effect of the OCT imaging of the anterior segment and the posterior segment. But the cost of the fiber coupler is much lower than that of the optical switch.
In still other embodiments, the optical fiber splitting device 1105 includes a filter, which may be a high-pass filter or a low-pass filter, or other filters that meet the requirements, or a wavelength division multiplexer, to sort the light of different wavelength bands, so that the light of different wavelength bands enters the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the posterior segment and the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the anterior segment of the eye.
The diopter adjustment device 1305 focuses for different eyes (with different diopters), and as shown in the above figure, the diopter adjustment device 1305 can translate along the main optical axis where it is located, so that the OCT light beam can be focused on the eye E to be measured. That is, the light beam is focused on the retina, so that the signal-to-noise ratio and the transverse resolution of OCT images can be effectively improved during retina measurement.
The first spectroscope 1303 can transmit the fixation light (wavelength 550 nm) emitted from the fixation light source 1701 in the fixation optical module; the OCT light source 1101 output light may be reflected.
In some embodiments, the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307 (third beam splitter 1307) employ partial beam splitters (split at different light energy ratios) that partially reflect the back section detection light incident on the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307 and partially transmit the front section detection light incident on the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307.
In still other embodiments, the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307 utilize high pass filters or low pass filters to sort light of different wavelength bands, thereby allowing the back section detection light incident on the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307 to be totally reflected and the front section detection light incident on the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307 to be totally transmitted.
The pre-beam splitter 1309 (fifth beam splitter 1309) can reflect the signal light emitted from the OCT light source 1101 and reflect the fixation light emitted from the fixation light source 1701 in the fixation optical module. But also transmits illumination light from the illumination light source 1901 in the anterior segment imaging module.
OCT sample arm module for anterior ocular segment
The anterior ocular segment OCT sample arm module includes an optical fiber spectroscopic device 1105, an optical path scanning device 1109, and an anterior ocular segment OCT sample arm optical path. OCT images of the front and back surfaces of the cornea and the crystalline lens can be obtained, so that important parameters of human eye structures such as the front and back surface curvature of the cornea, the thickness of the cornea, the depth of the anterior chamber, the thickness of the crystalline lens, the front and back surface curvature of the crystalline lens and the like can be obtained, and the important parameters of human eye structures such as the axial length of the eye and the like can be obtained by matching the OCT sample arm module of the anterior segment with the OCT sample arm module of the posterior segment of the eye.
A front section OCT optical fiber collimator 11075 is also provided between the optical fiber spectroscopic device and the optical path scanning device.
The anterior ocular segment OCT sample arm optical path includes a first lens 1503, a third lens 1509, an anterior posterior segment OCT beam splitter 1307 (third beam splitter 1307), a pre-beam splitter 1309 (fifth beam splitter 1309), and an objective lens 1311.
When performing anterior ocular segment OCT imaging, light from the OCT light source 1101 enters the OCT sample arm module via the fiber coupler 1103. After passing through the optical fiber splitting device 1105, the sample light enters the front section OCT optical fiber collimator 11075 and is reflected by the scanning lens 11091. At this time, the optical path scanning device 1109 is controlled by the computer 1143, and after the front section detection light is reflected by the optical path scanning device 1109, the front section detection light sequentially transmits the first lens 1503, the third lens 1509, the front-rear section OCT spectroscope 1307 (the third spectroscope 1307), and then is reflected by the front spectroscope 1309 (the fifth spectroscope 1309) to the objective lens 1311, and finally is converged to the front section of the human eye by the human eye E. The detection light beam of the OCT imaging light path system of the anterior ocular segment meets the requirement that the central line of the scanning light beam is parallel to the main optical axis L1 of the light path system and is incident to the human eye, and the OCT light beam is focused on the anterior ocular segment at any moment.
When the front and back surfaces of the cornea and the crystalline lens are measured, the OCT light beam is focused on the middle area of the anterior segment of the eye, and the signal to noise ratio and the transverse resolution of OCT images can be effectively improved when the front and back surfaces of the cornea and the crystalline lens are measured. And the scanning beam central line is parallel to the main optical axis L1 of the optical path system and is incident to the human eye, which is favorable for the refraction correction of the front and back surfaces of the cornea and the crystalline lens, thereby obtaining accurate curvatures of the front and back surfaces of the cornea and the crystalline lens.
The ophthalmic measurement system of embodiment 1 of the present invention further includes a fixation optical module including a fixation light source 1701 for fixation of the subject's eye E (internal fixation). Light from the fixation light source 1701 passes through the fifth lens 1703, passes through the posterior segment of the eye and the gaze spectroscope (first spectroscope) 1303, adjusts diopter by the diopter adjusting device 1305, reflects by the third posterior segment OCT optical path reflecting mirror 1306 and the anterior and posterior segment OCT spectroscope 1307 (third spectroscope 1307), and reflects to the eye objective 1311 by the pre-spectroscope 1309 (fifth spectroscope 1309), and the light passes through the eye objective 1311 and then enters the eye E to be inspected. Finally, the internal fixation index is projected onto the fundus of the eye to be inspected.
The fixation light source 1701 may employ a single point LED, or an LCD screen, an OLED screen, or an LED array screen, or the like.
When fundus OCT imaging is carried out, when different eyes observe the fixation point, the definition degree of the fixation point is different, which causes discomfort to a tested person in fixation, and is inconvenient for fixation and fixation of the tested eye. Since the fundus OCT optical path is adjusted by the diopter adjuster 1305, it can be focused on the fundus retina E. Since the optical OCT optical path and the fixation optical path are shared by the diopter adjustment device 1305, the fixation target can be seen clearly for different eyes.
The ophthalmologic measurement system of the embodiment 1 of the invention further comprises an anterior ocular segment photographing module, which can obtain important parameters of human eye structures such as white-to-white distance, pupil diameter and the like, and comprises an illumination light source 1901 and a photographing device, wherein the photographing device is a photographing device 1911, the illumination light source is used for irradiating light emitted by the illumination light source to an anterior ocular segment of a detected human eye, reflected by tissue of the anterior ocular segment, and finally photographed by the photographing device, and can be used for photographing and previewing anterior ocular segments so as to guide a doctor to operate an instrument, and a probe light path is aligned to the human eye to be detected.
The illumination light source 1901, which in the present embodiment is 940nm infrared light, irradiates the anterior chamber of the eye E to be inspected, and reflects the light through the anterior chamber tissue. The reflected light passes through the objective lens 1311, the front beam splitter 1309 (fifth beam splitter 1309), the seventh lens 1905, and the ninth lens 1909, and is finally captured by the imaging device 1911.
The examinee uses a chin rest (not shown) to fix the examinee's head and to fix the eye of the examinee by fixing the fixation mark of the eye fixation system. Then, the detector controls the movement of the chin rest apparatus, the probe, and the like by the lever while observing the display screen of the computer 1143 so that the anterior ocular segment of the eye E to be inspected enters the imaging device 1911, and an anterior ocular segment image is presented in the display screen of the computer 1143.
Example 2
Example 2 differs from example 1 mainly in the posterior segment OCT sample arm module and fixation optics module, as shown in fig. 2.
Wherein the posterior ocular segment OCT sample arm module differs from example 1 primarily in the posterior ocular segment OCT sample arm optical path.
OCT sample arm module for posterior segment of eye
The posterior segment OCT sample arm module comprises an optical fiber beam splitting device 1105, an optical path scanning device 1109 and an optical path of the posterior segment OCT sample arm.
A back section OCT optical fiber collimator 11073 is further disposed between the optical fiber spectroscopic device 1105 and the optical path scanning device 1109, and the back section OCT optical fiber collimator 11073 is integrally disposed along the main optical axis L1 of the back section OCT optical fiber collimator 11073 together with the optical fiber head of the back section OCT sample arm, so that the optical path length of the optical path of the back section OCT sample arm can be adjusted.
The posterior segment OCT sample arm optical path sequentially includes a first posterior segment OCT optical path mirror 2301, a second posterior segment OCT optical path mirror 2302, a posterior segment and fixation beam splitter 2303, a refractive adjustment device 2305, an anterior and posterior segment OCT beam splitter 1307 (third beam splitter 1307), a pre-beam splitter 1309 (fifth beam splitter 1309), and an objective lens 1311.
When performing posterior ocular segment OCT imaging, probe light from OCT light source 1101 enters the OCT sample arm module via fiber coupler 1103. After the detection light is split by the optical fiber splitting device 1105, the detection light enters the rear section OCT optical fiber collimator 11073, and the rear section detection light is reflected by the scanning lens 11091. At this time, the optical path scanning device 1109 is controlled by the computer 1143, and the rear-section probe light is reflected by the optical path scanning device 1109, reflected by the first rear-section OCT optical path mirror 2301 and the second rear-section OCT optical path mirror 2302, reflected by the rear-eye section and the gaze spectroscope 2303, reflected by the diopter adjustment device 2305, reflected by the front-back section OCT spectroscope 1307 (the third spectroscope 1307), reflected by the front-stage spectroscope 1309 (the fifth spectroscope 1309), and finally converged by the human eye E to the fundus of the eye to be tested. The detection light beam of the OCT imaging light path system of the posterior segment of the eye meets the requirement that the central line of the scanning light beam is converged near the pupil of the human eye, and the OCT light beam is focused on the fundus of the human eye E at any moment.
The optical path scanning device 1109 of embodiment 2 of the present invention includes a single-surface reflective scanning lens, and the optical path scanning device 1109 drives the scanning lens 11091 to rotate, and when the scanning lens 11091 rotates, the light incident on the scanning lens 11091 is folded to perform scanning. In this embodiment 2, the back section detection light exiting the back section OCT optical fiber collimator 11073 and the front section detection light exiting the front section OCT optical fiber collimator 11075 are both incident on the rotation axis of the scan mirror 11091, but are spatially separated along the rotation axis direction, so that the back section detection light is reflected by the scan mirror 11091 and enters the optical path of the back section OCT sample arm, and the front section detection light is reflected by the scan mirror 11091 and enters the optical path of the front section OCT sample arm.
The optical fiber beam splitting device 1105 adopts an optical switch or an optical fiber coupler or an optical filter or a wavelength division multiplexer to split the rear section detection light and the front section detection light, so that the front section detection light and the rear section detection light are emitted through different optical fibers. Wherein the different areas of the scanning device reflect, may be different areas of a single reflective surface, or the front and back sides of the scanning mirror. The optical path adjusting device also has different implementation schemes.
The back section detection light and the front section detection light are split by the optical fiber splitting device, reflected by different areas of the optical path scanning device and respectively enter the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the back section and the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the front section of the eye.
In some embodiments, optical fiber splitting device 1105 employs an optical switch. The optical switch is capable of selectively transmitting the probe light to the posterior segment OCT sample arm optical path or the anterior segment OCT sample arm optical path. When performing OCT imaging of the posterior segment of the eye, the OCT imaging device is controlled by the computer 1143, so that the sample light from the fiber coupler 1103 enters the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the posterior segment of the eye after passing through the optical switch 1105. When performing the anterior ocular segment OCT imaging, it is controlled by the computer 1143, so that the sample light from the fiber coupler 1103 enters the anterior ocular segment OCT sample arm optical path after passing through the optical switch 1105.
In other embodiments, the fiber optic splitter 1105 employs a fiber optic coupler 1103, and the splitting effect (split according to different light energy ratios) of the fiber optic coupler 1103 results in a decrease in signal-to-noise ratio of the OCT imaging of the posterior segment and the OCT imaging of the anterior segment, which affects the imaging effect of the OCT imaging of the anterior segment and the posterior segment. But the cost of the fiber coupler is much lower than that of the optical switch.
In still other embodiments, the optical fiber splitting device 1105 includes a filter, which may be a high-pass filter or a low-pass filter, or other filters that meet the requirements, or a wavelength division multiplexer, to sort the light of different wavelength bands, so that the light of different wavelength bands enters the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the posterior segment and the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the anterior segment of the eye.
The diopter adjustment device 2305 focuses on different eyes (with different diopters), and as shown in the above figure, the diopter adjustment device 2305 can translate along the main optical axis where it is located, so that the OCT beam can be focused on the fundus of the eye E to be measured. That is, the light beam is focused on the retina, so that the signal-to-noise ratio and the transverse resolution of OCT images can be effectively improved during retina measurement.
The posterior segment and fixation beam splitter 2303 may transmit fixation light (550 nm wavelength) from fixation light source 2701 in the fixation optical module; the OCT light source 1101 output light may be reflected.
In some embodiments, the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307 (third beam splitter 1307) employ partial beam splitters (split at different light energy ratios) that partially reflect the back section detection light incident on the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307 and partially transmit the front section detection light incident on the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307.
In still other embodiments, the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307 utilize high pass filters or low pass filters to sort light of different wavelength bands, thereby allowing the back section detection light incident on the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307 to be totally reflected and the front section detection light incident on the front and back section OCT beam splitters 1307 to be totally transmitted.
The pre-beam splitter 1309 (fifth beam splitter 1309) can reflect the signal light emitted from the OCT light source 1101 and reflect the fixation light emitted from the fixation light source 2701 in the fixation optical module. But also transmits illumination light from the illumination light source 1901 in the anterior segment imaging module.
For different eye axial lengths of eyes to be measured, in this embodiment, the whole body of the optical fiber head (not shown) of the optical fiber sample arm of the back section OCT is translated along the main optical axis L1 of the optical fiber collimator 11073 of the back section OCT by using the optical fiber collimator 11073 of the back section OCT, so as to change the optical path length of the optical path of the optical fiber sample arm of the back section OCT, so as to meet the requirement of measuring OCT images at different positions when measuring different eye axial lengths.
In other embodiments, the optical path length of the optical path of the OCT sample arm of the posterior segment of the eye can be changed by using the integral translation of the second posterior segment OCT optical path mirror 2302 and the posterior segment of the eye and gaze spectroscope 2303, so as to meet the requirement of measuring OCT images at different positions when measuring different axial lengths of the eye.
The fixation optical module of this embodiment 2 is also different from embodiment 1.
Specifically, the fixation optical module of embodiment 2 of the present invention includes a fixation light source 2701 for fixation of a fixation target (internal fixation target) of the eye E. Light from the fixation light source 2701 passes through the fifth lens 2703, passes through the posterior segment of the eye and the fixation beam splitter (first beam splitter) 2303, adjusts diopter by the diopter adjustment device 2305, reflects by the anterior-posterior segment OCT beam splitter 1307 (third beam splitter 1307), and reflects by the anterior beam splitter 1309 (fifth beam splitter 1309) to the eye objective 1311, and the light is incident on the eye to be inspected E through the eye objective 1311. Finally, the internal fixation index is projected onto the fundus of the eye to be inspected.
The fixation light source 2701 may employ a single point LED, or an LCD screen, an OLED screen, or an LED array screen, or the like.
When fundus OCT imaging is carried out, when different eyes observe the fixation point, the definition degree of the fixation point is different, which causes discomfort to a tested person in fixation, and is inconvenient for fixation and fixation of the tested eye. Since the fundus OCT optical path is adjusted by the diopter adjustment device 2305, it can be focused on the fundus retina E. Because the OCT optical path and the fixation optical path of the posterior segment of the eye share the diopter adjusting device 2305, the fixation target can be seen clearly for different eyes.

When performing posterior ocular segment OCT imaging, probe light from OCT light source 1101 enters the OCT sample arm module via fiber coupler 1103. After passing through the optical fiber spectroscopic device 1105, the probe light enters the rear-section OCT optical fiber collimator 31073 and is reflected by the back surface of the scanning mirror 31091. At this time, the optical path scanning device 3109 is controlled by the computer 1143, and the rear-section detection light is reflected by the optical path scanning device 3109, reflected by the eye rear-section and gaze beam splitter 1303 (first beam splitter 1303), passes through the diopter adjusting device 1305, reflected by the third rear-section OCT optical path reflecting mirror 1306 and the front-section OCT beam splitter 1307 (third beam splitter 1307), reflected by the front-section beam splitter 1309 (fifth beam splitter 1309) to the eye-receiving objective lens 1311, and finally converged to the fundus of the eye to be measured by the human eye E. The detection light beam of the OCT imaging light path of the posterior segment of the eye meets the requirement that the central line of the scanning light beam is converged near the pupil of the human eye, and the OCT light beam is focused on the fundus of the human eye E at any moment.
The optical path scanning device 3109 includes a scanning mirror that reflects on both sides, and is capable of driving the scanning mirror 31091 to rotate, and when the scanning mirror 31091 rotates, light incident on the scanning mirror is folded to perform scanning. In this embodiment 3, the back-section detection light of the back-section OCT optical fiber collimator 31073 and the front-section detection light of the front-section OCT optical fiber collimator 31075 are emitted to the back surface and the front surface of the scanning mirror 31091, respectively, so that the back-section detection light is reflected by the scanning mirror 31091 and enters the optical path of the back-section OCT sample arm, and the front-section detection light is reflected by the scanning mirror 31091 and enters the optical path of the front-section OCT sample arm.

When performing the anterior ocular segment OCT imaging, it is controlled by the computer 1143, so that the sample light from the fiber coupler 1103 enters the anterior ocular segment OCT sample arm optical path after passing through the optical switch 1105.
In other embodiments, the fiber optic splitter 1105 employs a fiber optic coupler 1103, and the splitting effect (split according to different light energy ratios) of the fiber optic coupler 1103 results in a decrease in signal-to-noise ratio of the OCT imaging of the posterior segment and the OCT imaging of the anterior segment, which affects the imaging effect of the OCT imaging of the anterior segment and the posterior segment. The fiber coupler 1103 is much less costly than an optical switch.
