Abstract
Device for non-contact pressure measurement in the anterior ciliary arteries of the eye
Incoming article date: 27.09.2018It refers to the field of medicine, namely, to ophthalmology and to the field of medical instrument making. The problem of documentary fixation of the pattern of the fundus observed with the help of such devices with the purpose of assessing the long-term dynamics of pathological changes and determining the degree of success of the therapy is still relevant. The purpose of the development is to realize the possibility of automatic and semi-automatic documentary photo fixation of the results of the study of the internal structures of the eye performed with the help of a hand-held mobile ophthalmoscope while preserving the possibility of direct examination of the internal structures of the eye. The goal is achieved by adding to the ophthalmoscope optical, electromechanical and electronic components, which allow photographic fixation of the observed picture of the internal structures of the eye being examined. Advantages and positive effect of the complex being developed: 1. The possibility of automated photographic fixation of the observed image of the fundus allows improving the quality of eye pathology diagnostics by simplifying the documentation of its condition and facilitating the monitoring of the dynamics of this condition. 2. The non-contact nature of measurements determines the reduced requirements for disinfection of the device and for anesthetizing the eye; 3. Automation of the process of photographic fixation allows to reduce time costs for them and to shorten the time necessary for training personnel to work with the complex; 4. Communication of the photophthalmoscope with a PC provides a wide range of local and centralized storage, processing and systematization of research results.
