Description

This application claims the benefit of priority to CHINA Patent Application No. 201310207478.7 filed with the Chinese Patent Office on May 29, 2013 and entitled “SUBJECTIVE EYE REFRACTOMETER AND REFRACTOMETRY METHOD”, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a human eye refractometry technology, and in particular, to a subjective eye refractometer and a refractometry method.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Examination of using a visual acuity chart to check eyesight is to check the acuity of an eye. Refractometry examination is to examine the refraction state of an eye. Although the two examinations have certain relevance, but purposes of the two examinations are different, and the two cannot replace each other. Using a traditional visual acuity chart to test human eyesight is simple in device, easy to operate, and has been popularized to common families. However, a traditional refractometry device has a complex structure, needs to be operated by a doctor, and is expensive. Consequently, the traditional refractometry device can hardly be promoted in families and communities, let alone to use the traditional refractometry device as an instrument for self-examination.

The same points between the present invention and a traditional microscope having refraction adjustment lies in that: 1, both of them have a refraction adjustment (or refraction compensation) function; 2, both of them are designed for seeing a target clearly, for an eyepiece, the target is a detail in an imaging surface of an objective lens, and for the present invention, the target may be a figure on one surface.

The difference between the present invention and the traditional eyepiece of a microscope having refraction adjustment and a corresponding advantage lie in that:

1. With respect to an eyepiece having refraction adjustment, a surface needs to be seen clearly is an imaging lens of an objective lens, and the surface cannot be moved. Therefore, refraction compensation needs to be implemented through moving a lens of the eyepiece. Correspondingly, the position of a human eye needs to be moved too. The eye refractometer in the present invention is different, neither the human eye nor the lens needs to be moved, and only the target needs to be moved.

2. With respect to an eyepiece, the foregoing surface is an imaging lens of an objective lens, the surface is a concept, and there is no object corresponding thereto. The eye refractometer of the present invention is different, the target is an object, such as a designed surface having an exquisitely cut radial line.

3. The eyepiece only has a refraction compensation need, and a refraction compensation degree needs not to be marked. Therefore, there is no requirement for the distance between a human eye and a lens, and usually the human eye is close to the lens as much as possible. In the present invention, optometry needs to be performed on the human eye, and in order to implement liner scale of the spherical refractive-power (a refraction degree), a design concept that the surface of the human eye is located at the focal point of the lens is employed.

4. An eyepiece has no astigmatism compensation design, and the present invention may further implement cylindrical refractive power (astigmatism degree) measurement.

Compared with a traditional optometry device, the subjective eye refractometer of the present invention is simple in structure, small in size, and low in cost. The subjective eye refractometer and the subjective refractometry method of the present invention are also convenient to be handled, easy to be used. Common users can use the subjective eye refractometer to perform self-optometry, and the subjective eye refractometer is particularly applicable to simple optometry in situations such as families and communities.

Measurement Principles

Spherical refractive-power measurement:

The focal distance of the imaging lens 103 is f₀. The human eye of the testee is located at the position of the focal distance of the imaging lens 103. The object distance of the target 101 relative to the imaging lens 103 is f₀+x, where x is a movement distance of the target, that is, the target is moved to the position, and the human eye can see the target clearly. The image distance is v.

The following may be obtained according to the object-image relationship:

$\frac{1}{f_0+x}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f_0}$

The spherical refractive-power D₁ of a corresponding lens is

$\frac{1}{v-f_0}=D_1$

• • bring it to the foregoing formula

$\frac{1}{f_0+x}+\frac{1}{f_0+\frac{1}{D_1}}=\frac{1}{f_0}$

• • D₁=x/f₀² may be deduced.

That is, through the foregoing formula, the spherical refractive-power of the lens may be obtained from the movement distance of the target, and the movement distance of the target can form a linear relationship with the spherical refractive-power.

Cylindrical refractive power degree measurement (by using cylindrical lens):

For a cylindrical lens 102, the focal distance thereof is f₂.

The object distance of the target 101 relative to the cylindrical lens 102 is y (that is, the movement distance of the cylindrical lens relative to the target 101). The image distance of the image of the target 101 is v₁, and the object-image relationship is:

$\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{v_1}=\frac{1}{f_2}$

An image space of the target 101 relative to the cylindrical lens 102 is an object space of the imaging lens 103, the object space distance thereof is f₁+x−y−v₁, the image space distance thereof is v₂, and an object-image relationship is:

$\frac{1}{f_1+x-y-v_1}+\frac{1}{v_2}=\frac{1}{f_0}$

• • D₂ is the spherical refractive-power perpendicular to the axis direction of the cylindrical lens;

$\frac{1}{v_2-f_2}=D_2$

The following may be obtained with reference to the foregoing formula

$\begin{array}{c}{v}_1=1/\left(\frac{1}{f_2}-\frac{1}{y}\right)\\ =\frac{{\mathrm{yf}}_2}{y-f_2}\end{array}$ $D_1=x/f_0^2$ $\begin{array}{c}{D}_2=\frac{x-y-v_1}{f_0^2}\\ =\frac{x-y-\frac{{\mathrm{yf}}_2}{y-f_2}}{f_0^2}\end{array}$

• • D_c is a cylindrical refractive power degree, that is, cylindrical refractive power

$\begin{array}{c}{D}_c=D_1-D_2\\ =\left(y+\frac{{\mathrm{yf}}_2}{y-f_2}\right)/f_0^2\end{array}$

The cylindrical refractive power may also be measured by omitting the embodiment of the cylindrical lens.

Embodiment 1

A target 101 may be a picture, which has streak lines of different directions or divergence lines similar to a traditional astigmatic chart, and the like. Divergence lines (the target is marked with a symbol of “”, divergence line shape) are taken as an example in the following description.

When the target is moved to a position x and lines of all directions of the target “”0 are clear at the same time, the spherical refractive-power of the testee, that is, the spherical refractive-power is D₁=x/f₀². At this time, the testee has no astigmatism or the astigmatism is little and may be omitted. The cylindrical refractive power, that is, the cylindrical refractive power is 0.

When lines of all directions of the target “” are not clear at the same time, there are two positions where two divergence lines that are perpendicular to each other are clear.

Referring to FIG. 1, the target 101 moves forward and backward during measurement. If two positions where a line of a direction of the divergence lines may be seen clearly occurs, and the divergence lines of two directions are perpendicular to each other;

• • with respect to a first position, a calculated spherical refractive-power is: D₁=x/f₀²;
  • with respect to a second position, a calculated spherical refractive-power is :D₃=x₃/f₀²;
  • if D₁ is the spherical refractive-power, D₃−D₁ D₁=D₁ is the cylindrical refractive power, and the axial direction is the direction of the divergence line corresponding to x₃; and
  • if D₃ is the spherical refractive-power, D₁−D₃ is the cylindrical refractive power, and the axial direction is the direction of the divergence line corresponding to x.

In this embodiment, spherical refractive-power and a cylindrical refractive power measurement may be implemented without the cylindrical lens.

Referring to FIG. 3a and FIG. 3b, the shape of the sign at the target may be: all endpoints gathered at a same center point, and a plurality of divergence lines diverging to all rounds.

More specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 3a, the shape of the target may be, a plurality of divergence lines diverging uniformly from a center to periphery, and the plurality of divergence lines are disposed uniformly within a circle of 360 degrees.

As illustrated in FIG. 3b, on basis of the target illustrated in FIG. 3a, an end of each divergence line that diverges externally is marked with an angle, where one or more divergence lines serve as a reference, and have a reference angle. For example, two divergence lines in a horizontal direction in FIG. 3b are marked with 0 degree and 180 degrees respectively, and an angle marked on another divergence line is an included angle thereof relative to the two reference divergence lines.

The angle of each two adjacent divergence lines and the angle marked at the divergence line are relevant to the number of divergence lines. For example, in the target illustrated in FIG. 3b, the number of divergence lines is 12, the included angle of each two adjacent divergence lines is 30 degrees, and the angle marked at the divergence line is also changed by taking 30 degrees as a gradient.

The advantage of marking an angle is: when the human eye astigmatism degree is checked, a drum of a subjective eye refractometer is rotated, and when an eye can see a divergence line clearly, a corresponding angle may be found, thereby determining an astigmatism degree conveniently.

The number of divergence lines of the target is unlimited, and there is a plurality of angles corresponding thereto. For example, except angles 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 of the divergence line illustrated in FIG. 3b, the following may further be included:

• • 0, 45, 90, 135, 180; or
  • 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, and the like.

That is, the number of divergence lines and the angle of adjacent divergence lines may be determined flexibly.

Embodiment 2

In the same way, a target 101 may be a picture, which has streak lines of different directions or divergence lines similar to a traditional astigmatic chart, and the like. Divergence lines (the target is marked with a symbol of “”, divergence line shape) are taken as an example in the following description. In this embodiment, a cylindrical lens 102 is used, the cylindrical lens 102 and the target 101 are overlapped and moved forward and backward, and there are two conditions:

When a testee can see all lines in the target “” clearly at a position x, the spherical refractive-power degree of the testee may be calculated according to the spherical refractive-power computing method, and it may be obtained that the human eye has no astigmatism.

When two positions are moved to and the testee can see one line of two lines that are perpendicular to each other in the target “” symbol clearly, the spherical refractive-power degree at the two positions may be calculated according to the spherical refractive-power computing method in the foregoing text.

And it may be learned that the human eye has astigmatism, and a cylindrical refractive power measurement may be performed following: If a negative cylindrical lens is adopted, a position where x is a larger value is adjusted to so that one line of the divergence lines is most clear, and the spherical refractive-power degree at that position is the spherical refractive-power of the testee. And then, the direction of the cylindrical lens is adjusted so that the direction of the axis of the cylindrical lens is the same as the direction of the most clear line of the divergence lines, and the cylindrical lens is moved to ensure that all the divergence lines are clear. The movement distance of the cylindrical lens is y, and the cylindrical refractive power may be deduced according to the foregoing formula.

If a positive cylindrical lens is adopted, a position where x is a smaller value is adjusted to so that one line of the divergence lines is most clear, and the spherical refractive-power degree at that position is the spherical refractive-power of the testee. And then, the direction of the cylindrical lens is adjusted so that the direction of the axis of the cylindrical lens is the same as the direction of the most clear line of the divergence lines, and the cylindrical lens is moved to ensure that all the divergence lines are clear. The movement distance of the cylindrical lens is y, and the cylindrical refractive power may be deduced according to the foregoing formula. The axial direction of the cylindrical lens is an axial position of the cylindrical refractive power.

Compared with Embodiment 1, in Embodiment 2, the design of using a cylindrical lens to measure a cylindrical refractive power is adopted, and the obvious advantage lies in that direct marking of a cylindrical refractive power may be implemented directly so as to facilitate reading the measurement result.

Compared with Embodiment 1, the advantage of Embodiment 2 lies in that the device is simpler and the cost is lower.

In the same way, in Embodiment 2, the target may also take the form of the target illustrated in FIG. 3a and FIG. 3b.

Embodiment 3

Referring to FIG. 2, a specific embodiment is illustrated.

A lens 103 is fixed in a first sleeve 111, and a front surface of a cornea an eye of a testee 104 is located at a focal point of the lens 103. A target 101 may be a picture, which has streak lines of different directions or divergence lines similar to a traditional astigmatic chart, and the like. Divergence lines are taken as an example in the following description. The target 101 is fixed on a second sleeve 112, the second sleeve 112 may slide within the first sleeve 111, and a distance from the target to the lens may be changed by adjusting the second sleeve 112. The cylindrical lens is fixed on the third sleeve 113, and the third sleeve 113 may slide within the second sleeve 112 and rotate by taking a sleeve axis as a rotation axis. A distance of the cylindrical lens and the distance from the cylindrical lens to the lens may be changed by adjusting the third sleeve 113. When the second sleeve 112 is adjusted, the third sleeve 113 slides on the first sleeve 111 together with the second sleeve 112.

The cornea of the testee needs to be located at the focal point position of the imaging lens 103. In this case, a degree (spherical refractive-power) marked at the sleeve is in a linear relationship with the movement distance of the target 101.

When the testee is myopia or hyperopia, the movement of the target 101 may be implemented by rotating the sleeve of a body to ensure that the testee can see the target 101 clearly and the sleeve rotation is stopped. At this time, the spherical refractive-power marked at the sleeve is the myopia degree of the testee.

During measurement, the third sleeve 113 is adjusted first so that the cylindrical lens sticks with the target, that is, the distance from the cylindrical lens to the lens is zero.

At this time, the cylindrical lens makes no contribution to imaging of the target. The initial distance from the target to the lens is the focal distance f₀ of the lens.

At this time, the image of the target is at infinity, and if testee is an emmetropia, the testee can see a clear divergence line.

That is, when the spherical refractive-power of the testee is 0 (normal eyesight) and the target is located at a focal point position of the imaging lens, the testee can see the divergence line of the target 101 clearly.

During measurement, the distance from the target to the lens may be changed by adjusting the second sleeve 112 to ensure that the divergence lines are clear or one direction of the divergence lines is clear. If all directions of the divergence line of the second sleeve 112 are clear at a position, it indicates that the testee has no astigmatism or the astigmatism little and may be omitted. If all directions of the divergence line of the second sleeve 112 are clear at a position, it indicates that the testee has no astigmatism or the astigmatism little and may be omitted. If it is found that only one direction of the divergence line of the second sleeve 112 is clear at a position, another position can surely be found by adjusting the second sleeve 112. At that position, the testee can find that only a divergence line that is perpendicular to the divergence line is clear.

By recording a corresponding movement position of the sleeve, the spherical refractive-power and a cylindrical refractive power may be obtained by checking a pre-calculated value.
