Abstract
Description
[構成]
第1実施形態に係る眼科装置は、ベースに固定された顔受け部と、ベースに対して前後上下左右に移動可能な架台とを備えている。架台には、被検眼の検査(測定)を行うための光学系が収納されたヘッド部が設けられている。検者側の位置に配置された操作部に対して操作を行うことにより、顔受け部とヘッド部とを相対移動することができる。また、眼科装置は、後述のアライメントを実行することにより顔受け部とヘッド部とを自動で相対移動することができる。
図1に、第1実施形態に係る眼科装置の光学系の構成例を示す。第1実施形態に係る眼科装置100は、被検眼Eの検査を行うための光学系として、Zアライメント系1、XYアライメント系2、ケラト測定系3、視標投影系4、観察系5、収差測定投影系6、及び収差測定受光系7を含む。また、眼科装置は、処理部9を含む。
処理部9は、眼科装置の各部を制御する。また、処理部9は、各種演算処理を実行可能である。処理部9はプロセッサを含む。処理部9は、例えば、記憶回路や記憶装置に格納されているプログラムを読み出し実行することで、実施形態に係る機能を実現する。
観察系5は、被検眼Eの前眼部を動画撮影する。例えば、観察系5の光軸から離れた位置に配置された複数の前眼部照明光源57からの光(例えば、中心波長が950nmの赤外光)で照明された被検眼Eの前眼部からの戻り光は、対物レンズ51を通過し、ダイクロイックミラー52を透過し、絞り53の開口を通過する。絞り53の開口を通過した光は、ハーフミラー22を透過し、リレーレンズ54を通過し、結像レンズ55に導かれる。結像レンズ55は、リレーレンズ54から導かれた光をエリアセンサー(イメージセンサー)56の受光面に結像する。エリアセンサー56の受光面は、被検眼Eの瞳孔と光学的に略共役な位置に配置されている。エリアセンサー56は、所定のレートで撮像及び信号出力を行う。エリアセンサー56の出力(映像信号)は処理部9に入力される。処理部9は、この映像信号に基づく前眼部像E’を表示部10の表示画面10aに表示させる。前眼部像E’は、例えば赤外動画像である。
Zアライメント系1は、観察系5の光軸方向(前後方向、Z方向)におけるアライメントを行うための光(赤外光)を被検眼Eに照射する。Zアライメント光源11から出力された光は、被検眼Eの角膜Kに照射され、角膜Kにより反射され、結像レンズ12に導かれる。結像レンズ12は、導かれてきた光をラインセンサー13の受光面に結像する。角膜頂点の位置が前後方向に変化すると、ラインセンサー13に対する光の投影位置が変化する。ラインセンサー13の出力は処理部9に入力される。処理部9は、ラインセンサー13に対する光の投影位置に基づいて被検眼Eの角膜頂点の位置を求め、これに基づきZアライメントを実行する。
XYアライメント系2は、観察系5の光軸に直交する方向(左右方向(X方向)、上下方向(Y方向))のアライメントを行うための光(赤外光)を被検眼Eに照射する。XYアライメント系2は、ハーフミラー22により観察系5から分岐された光路に設けられたXYアライメント光源21を含む。XYアライメント光源21から出力された光は、リレーレンズ23を通過し、ハーフミラー22により反射される。ハーフミラー22により反射された光は、観察系5の光軸上の対物レンズ51の前側焦点位置で集光された後、ダイクロイックミラー52を透過し、対物レンズ51により平行光とされ、被検眼Eの角膜Kに照射される。角膜Kの表面で反射した光は、被検眼Eの角膜表面の反射焦点位置近傍にプルキンエ像を形成する。XYアライメント光源21は、対物レンズ51の焦点位置と光学的に略共役な位置に配置されている。角膜Kによる反射光は、観察系5を通じてエリアセンサー56に導かれる。エリアセンサー56の受光面には、XYアライメント光源21から出力された光のプルキンエ像(輝点)による像Brが形成される。
ケラト測定系3は、角膜Kの曲率を測定するためのリング状光束(赤外光)を角膜Kに投影する。ケラト板31は、対物レンズ51の近傍に配置されている。ケラト板31の背面側(対物レンズ51側)にはケラトリング光源32が設けられている。ケラトリング光源32からの光でケラト板31を照明することにより、角膜Kにリング状光束が投影される。その反射光(ケラトリング像)はエリアセンサー56により前眼部像とともに検出される。処理部9は、このケラトリング像を基に公知の演算を行うことで角膜曲率パラメータを算出する。ケラトリングの代わりに多重リングからなるプラチドリング板が配置されていてもよい。この場合、角膜の曲率だけではなく、角膜形状を測定することが可能となる。
視標投影系4は、固視標や自覚検査用の視標等の各種視標を被検眼Eに呈示する。視標チャート42は、処理部9からの制御を受け、視標を表すパターンを表示する。光源41から出力された光(可視光)は、視標チャート42を通過し、リレーレンズ43及びフィールドレンズ44を通過し、反射ミラー45により反射され、ビームスプリッター68を透過し、ダイクロイックミラー52により反射される。ダイクロイックミラー52により反射された光は、対物レンズ51を通過して眼底Efに投影される。
収差測定投影系6及び収差測定受光系7は、被検眼Eの眼球収差特性の測定に用いられる。収差測定投影系6は、眼球収差特性測定用の光束(主に、赤外光)を眼底Efに投影する。収差測定受光系7は、この光束の被検眼Eの眼底Efからの戻り光を受光する。収差測定受光系7による戻り光の受光結果から被検眼Eの眼球収差特性が求められる。
実施形態に係る眼科装置100の処理系について説明する。
制御部110は、プロセッサを含み、眼科装置の各部を制御する。制御部110は、主制御部111と、記憶部112とを含む。記憶部112には、眼科装置を制御するためのコンピュータプログラムがあらかじめ格納されている。コンピュータプログラムには、光源制御用プログラム、センサー制御用プログラム、光学系制御用プログラム、演算処理用プログラム及びユーザインターフェイス用プログラムなどが含まれる。このようなコンピュータプログラムに従って主制御部111が動作することにより、制御部110は制御処理を実行する。
記憶部112は、各種のデータを記憶する。記憶部112に記憶されるデータとしては、例えば自覚検査の検査結果、他覚測定の測定結果、前眼部像の画像データ、ハルトマン点像の画像データ、被検眼情報、演算処理部120の処理結果などがある。被検眼情報は、患者IDや氏名などの被検者に関する情報や、左眼/右眼の識別情報などの被検眼に関する情報を含む。また、記憶部112には、眼科装置を動作させるための各種プログラムやデータが記憶されている。
演算処理部120は、プロセッサを含み、図示しない記憶部(又は記憶部112)に記憶されたコンピュータプログラムに従って次の各部の処理を実行する。
屈折度数算出部130は、IOLのタイプに応じた算出処理方法で被検眼Eの屈折度数を求める。IOLのタイプには、単焦点型、多焦点屈折型、多焦点回折型、EDoF型がある。そこで、屈折度数算出部130は、第1屈折度数算出部131と、第2屈折度数算出部132と、第3屈折度数算出部133と、第4屈折度数算出部134とを含む。
被検眼Eが装用するIOLが単焦点型IOLである場合、第1屈折度数算出部131は、波面収差測定により得られたハルトマン像を含む波面収差情報に基づいて、単一の屈折度数を算出する。
被検眼Eが装用するIOLが多焦点屈折型IOLである場合、第2屈折度数算出部132は、波面収差測定により得られたハルトマン像を含む波面収差情報に基づいて、IOLの複数の焦点距離のそれぞれに対応した複数の屈折度数を算出する。すなわち、第2屈折度数算出部132は、IOLが有する焦点距離に対応したエリア毎に、遠点に対応する屈折度数と近点に対応する屈折度数とを含む複数の屈折度数を算出する。
被検眼Eが装用するIOLが多焦点回折型IOLである場合、第3屈折度数算出部133は、波面収差測定により得られたハルトマン像を含む波面収差情報に基づいて、IOLの複数の焦点距離のそれぞれに対応した複数の屈折度数を算出する。具体的には、第3屈折度数算出部133は、ハルトマン像を構成する点像が分離した2以上の分離点像を、IOLが有する焦点距離毎に分類し、分類された2以上の分離点像に基づいて焦点距離毎に、遠点に対応する屈折度数と近点に対応する屈折度数とを含む複数の屈折度数を算出する。
被検眼Eが装用するIOLがEDoF型IOLである場合、第4屈折度数算出部134は、波面収差測定により得られたハルトマン像を含む波面収差情報に基づいて、ハルトマン像を構成する点像に対応した2つの分離点像を特定し、特定された分離点像を2つの点像群のいずれかに分類し、分類された点像群から求められる波面収差情報に基づいて、点像群毎に屈折度数を算出する。具体的には、第4屈折度数算出部134は、ハルトマン像を構成する複数の点像のそれぞれを楕円近似することにより特定された近似楕円の2つの焦点を焦点距離毎に分類し、分類された2以上の分離点像に基づいて焦点距離毎に、遠点に対応する屈折度数と近点に対応する屈折度数とを含む複数の屈折度数を算出する。
分布情報生成部140は、IOLが有する焦点距離毎に、波面収差の分布を表す分布情報(波面収差マップ)を生成する。分布情報生成部140は、例えば、特開2002-209854号公報に開示されているように、波面収差情報に基づいて分布情報を生成する。被検眼Eの瞳孔(又はエリアセンサー56の受光面)における水平方向をx方向とし、垂直方向をy方向としたとき、分布情報生成部140は、各位置(x,y)における波面収差を水平方向及び垂直方向に公知の手法で補間して、波面収差の2次元の分布を表す分布情報を生成する。
シミュレーション処理部150は、視力シミュレーションを実行する。例えば、シミュレーション処理部150は、瞳孔径情報を用いて正規化された波面収差を有する眼球に対して、例えば、0.25D間隔の複数の屈折度数のそれぞれから換算される物点から光線追跡処理を行うことで網膜面における複数の像を求める。シミュレーション処理部150は、求められた複数の屈折度数に対応する複数の像のうち、最も明瞭な像の位置又はシュトレール比が最も高い物点の位置を被検眼Eの度数として特定する。多焦点の場合は、ある範囲の中で、局所的に最も明瞭な像の位置又はシュトレール比が最も高い物点の位置を被検眼Eの遠方もしくは近方などの度数として特定する。
表示部170は、ユーザインターフェイス部として、制御部110(主制御部111)による制御を受けて情報を表示する。表示部170は、図1に示す表示部10を含む。
通信部190は、図示しない外部装置と通信するための機能を有する。通信部190は、例えば処理部9に設けられていてもよい。通信部190は、外部装置との通信の形態に応じた構成を有する。

次に、主制御部111は、第3屈折度数算出部133を制御して、ステップS55において点像群毎に実行されたゼルニケ多項式近似処理により得られたゼルニケ係数から、公知の演算により、球面度数S、乱視度数C及び乱視軸角度Aを点像群毎に求める。
図17のステップS28では、まず、主制御部111は、点像特定部134Aを制御して、ステップS10において取得されたハルトマン像を構成する点像を特定させる。いくつかの実施形態では、主制御部111は、第4屈折度数算出部134を制御して、ステップS10において取得されたハルトマン像に対して点像の強調処理を施してから、上記のように点像特定部134Aを制御する。
次に、主制御部111は、ステップS61において特定された複数の点像が、図10又は図11に示すように、IOLが有する焦点距離に対応したエリア毎に配置されているか否かを判定する。いくつかの実施形態では、主制御部111は、第4屈折度数算出部134を制御して、ステップS42と同様に、ステップS61において特定された点像の代表位置を特定し、特定された代表位置に基づいて、ステップS43と同様に、IOLが有する焦点距離に対応したエリア毎に配置されているか否かを判定する。

ステップS64において、特定された複数の点像のうち所定の閾値以上の点像が、2以上の分離点像に分離していると判定されたとき(S64:Y)、主制御部111は、第3屈折度数算出部133を制御して、ステップS61において特定された点像に基づいて被検眼Eの屈折度数を算出させる第3屈折度数算出処理を実行させる。第3屈折度数算出部133は、図20に示すフローに従って第3屈折度数算出処理を実行する。以上で、図17のステップS28の処理は終了である(エンド)。
ステップS64において、特定された複数の点像のうち所定の閾値以上の点像が、2以上の分離点像に分離していないと判定されたとき(S64:N)、主制御部111は、楕円近似処理部134Bを制御して、ステップS61において特定された複数の点像のそれぞれに対して、公知の楕円近似処理を実行させる。楕円近似処理部134Bは、ステップS61において特定された複数の点像のそれぞれの複数の近似楕円を特定し、特定された複数の近似楕円のそれぞれの2つの焦点を特定する。
次に、主制御部111は、点像群特定部134Cを制御して、ステップS66において特定された近似楕円の2つの焦点のうちハルトマン像の中心に近い焦点を近点点像とし、ハルトマン像の中心から遠い焦点を遠点点像として特定させる。点像群特定部134Cは、複数の近似楕円のそれぞれについて特定された複数の近点点像と複数の遠点点像とを、近点点像の点像群と、複数の遠点点像の点像群とに分類する。
続いて、主制御部111は、ゼルニケ多項式近似処理部134Dを制御して、ステップS67において特定された点像群毎にゼルニケ多項式近似処理を実行することによりゼルニケ係数とゼルニケ多項式とにより表される波面収差情報(波面の近似式)を点像群毎に算出させる。ゼルニケ多項式近似処理部134Dは、ステップS2において取得された瞳孔径情報を用いて、点像群毎に算出された波面収差情報のそれぞれを正規化する。
次に、主制御部111は、第4屈折度数算出部134を制御して、ステップS68において点像群毎に実行されたゼルニケ多項式近似処理により得られたゼルニケ係数から、公知の演算により、球面度数S、乱視度数C及び乱視軸角度Aを点像群毎に求める。
一般的に、IOLを装用する被検眼には調節機能がなくなると考えられている。しかしながら、毛様体筋の動き等によってIOLを装用する被検眼に調節機能を持たせることが可能である。そこで、第2実施形態では、遠点側と近点側とを含む2以上の距離で波面収差測定を行って、それぞれの位置で遠用度数(遠点の屈折度数)及び近用度数(近点の屈折度数)が算出される。
