Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent heat generation by light and lighten the burden of an eye and prevent the introduction of electric noise to an electroretinograph(ERG) electrode by feeding light from a light source portion provided on one end of an optical fiber the other end of which is installed on a contact lens which has an electrode and which is installed on an eyeball, via the optical fiber. CONSTITUTION:A contact lens 4 for giving optical stimulus 3 is installed on an eyeball 1, and an ERG electrode 6 is annularly formed on the contact lens 4 while installing one side end of an optical fiber 11 on the backside thereof. The other end of the optical fiber 11 is connected to a light source portion 5 while being divided into single-core optical connectors 11b so as to be oppositely placed to the light emitting faces of a group of light emitting elements 5a of the LEDR, LEDG, LEDB of R, G, B in the light source portion 5. The group of light emitting elements 5a emits light by the feed of voltage from a power source portion 8 through a power cable 7. Heat which is generated by the group of light emitting elements 5a is not transmitted to the contact lens 4 lightening the burden of the eyeball 1, while no existence of the power cable 7 for driving the group of light emitting elements 5a on the periphery of an optical-stimulus electrode device can prevent the introduction of noise which is generated at the time of ON/OFF of the power source portion 8 to the ERG electrode.

Furthermore, it is possible to provide a light source (14) for fixation, which is always turned on, separately from the light emitting element group (5a) in the light source section (5). This light source (14) can be composed of a light emitting element such as an LED, but the color of the emitted light is determined by light stimulation (3) on the retina (2).
For example, red light is preferable because the light is weak. However, the light emission intensity is extremely small compared to the emission weakness of the light emitting element group (5a) that provides optical stimulation (3).
In measuring RG, when the contact lens (4) is attached to the eyeball (1), the focus of the eyeball (1) is not determined and the eyeball (1) moves vertically and horizontally, and the ERG detection waveform changes accordingly. As a result, the baseline of the recorded waveform fluctuates, making accurate recording impossible. As mentioned above, a weak light source (1

Furthermore, when a small point light source such as an LED is used as the light emitting element group (5a), or when using an optical fiber, the light source is small and the light stimulation (3) is applied to the entire retina (2). There was a difficult problem. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4A, the surface of the contact lens (4a) facing the optical fiber (11) is made into a ground glass shape, or an opaque opalescent film is pasted to form a diffusing portion (15). It is possible to diffuse the light transmitted through the fiber (11) by the diffusing section (15) so that the optical stimulus to the retina (2) becomes diffused light. In addition, as shown in Figure 4B, contact lenses (4b
) itself into a concave lens structure, it is possible to apply optical stimulation (3) to the entire retina (2), and a sufficient electrical response can be obtained for the optical stimulation (3).

In addition, if the optical fiber (11) shown in Fig. 3 is detachably attached to a contact lens with electrodes (page 4), the optical stimulation (3) cannot be performed once the optical fiber (11) is removed. Various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention without being limited to the embodiments of the child series, such as being able to be used as a normal electrode.
