More Information
  • To realize a simplified keratometer, we proposed a design proposal based on corneal reflex imaging. Six pointolites which arranged in a regular hexagon were used to emit parallel light to the surface of a cornea and were reflected by the cornea. Then the image was captured by a telecentric optical system in the object space to a CMOS camera. In order to obtain the corneal curvature, the distance between two pointolites located on the regular hexagonal diagonal in the corneal reflection images were calculated by using the center of gravity algorithm. The imaging quality, measuring range and measuring precision of the system were theoretically analyzed, and the Ziess's model eye and human eyes were used to conduct experiments to verify the theoretical analysis results. The experiment results have shown that the precision of the measurement error is ±0.02 mm and the measurement range is from 5.5 mm to 11.6 mm (30 m-1 to 60 m-1 in diopter of cornea). The research will provide technical supports for the design and optimization of automatic keratometer.

  • Overview: The paper summarizes previous research results on corneal curvature measurement. Based on previous studies, a simplified corneal curvature measurement system is proposed. The system uses the corneal reflection principle to measure the curvature radius of the corneal anterior surface. The specific measurement method employs six pointolites which arranged in a regular hexagon to emit parallel light to the surface of a cornea and are imaged by the cornea. Then the image is captured by a telecentric optical system in the object space to a CMOS camera. In order to obtain the corneal curvature, the distance between two pointolites located on the regular hexagonal diagonal in the corneal reflection images are calculated by using the center of gravity algorithm. We introduce the measurement range, measurement accuracy and other design indexes of the system, as well as the related parameters of the optical imaging system. We also performed image quality analysis of the imaging system. In the aspect of error analysis, we also made some theoretical analysis. We believe that the measurement error of the system is mainly determined by the accuracy of image algorithm to the image processing of corneal reflection, and we have given the theoretical calculation results in this aspect. We built a corneal curvature measurement system to further verify our theoretical analysis. We firstly calibrate the parameters of the system and then do repeated validation to get the repeated error. In addition, we measured the glass spheres with different curvature radius to verify that the system could accurately measure the curvature radius within the measurement range. Finally, we measured the corneal curvature radius of human eyes. The results showed that the system can quickly and accurately measure the corneal curvature radius of human eyes. We select the LED with a wavelength of 850 nm as the illumination source. The main consideration is that the near-infrared optical system can penetrate well. Although the human eye is not very sensitive to light at 850 nm, it has a certain effect on stabilizing the eye position of the test subject. In addition, the 850 nm LED process is mature, easy to obtain, and inexpensive. The whole optical system is simple, the device is few, the difficulty of assembly and adjustment is greatly reduced, and the imaging system adopts the object-distance optical path, which avoids the problem that the center of gravity of the image changes and the measurement result deviates.
