Description

眼睛温度的测量与分析系统、接收分析装置及其方法Eye temperature measuring and analyzing system, receiving and analyzing device and method thereof

技术领域technical field

本发明是关于一种眼睛温度的测量与分析系统、接收分析装置及其方法,尤其是关于一种用于分析及判断眼睛表面温度的系统、分析装置及其方法。The present invention relates to an eye temperature measurement and analysis system, receiving analysis device and method thereof, in particular to a system, analysis device and method for analyzing and judging eye surface temperature.

背景技术Background technique

眼睛的表面温度是反应眼球的各部肌肉或各层组织的状态,故可作为代表眼睛健康或病变的一种重要指标。当眼睛处于发炎或是有肌肉调节紧张(痉挛)时,眼表温度就会增高,例如:睫状肌痉挛造成近视眼,会使得眼表温度升高。然而,对于干眼症患者而言,在眼睑开合之间,因为泪液流到眼表的数量减少,会导致眼表温度降低。因此,眼表温度的升高或降低可用于判断眼睛是否健康、接近病变或已发生病变。The surface temperature of the eye reflects the state of the muscles or layers of the eyeball, so it can be used as an important indicator of eye health or disease. When the eyes are inflamed or when there is muscle tension (spasm), the ocular surface temperature will increase. For example, myopia caused by ciliary muscle spasm will increase the ocular surface temperature. However, in dry eye patients, between eyelid opening and closing, there is a decrease in ocular surface temperature due to reduced tear flow to the ocular surface. Therefore, an increase or decrease in ocular surface temperature can be used to judge whether the eye is healthy, approaching disease, or has developed disease.

D.M.Maurice及A.S.Mushin于所撰论文“Production of Myopia in Rabbits byRaised Body-Temperature and Increased Intraocular Pressure”(The Lancet;November 26,1966,pp.1160-1162)中指出:当年轻兔子的体温升到41-43℃时,维持大约30分钟后,兔子的屈光度数(dioptres)就会达到-0.75以上。近视的原因就是眼睛屈光能力太大,致使平行于视轴的平行光线汇聚在视网膜前,不能在视网膜上形成清晰的成像。再者,视轴的变化也与眼球温度有正相关。因睫状肌的痉挛可能会刺激眼球视轴的拉长,从而形成无法逆转的真性近视,就本篇论文亦证明眼球温度和近视或眼球变化的关联性。当眼球的温度上升,球体本身就会膨胀。又眼球周边组织抵抗膨胀的力量较强,因此该膨胀就传往眼球底部发展。眼球在这种不当变形下,日积月累就造成了一个视轴较长的眼球。D.M.Maurice and A.S.Mushin pointed out in the paper "Production of Myopia in Rabbits by Raised Body-Temperature and Increased Intraocular Pressure" (The Lancet; November 26, 1966, pp.1160-1162): when the body temperature of young rabbits rises to 41 At -43°C, after maintaining for about 30 minutes, the dioptres of the rabbit will reach above -0.75. The reason for myopia is that the refractive power of the eye is too large, so that the parallel rays parallel to the visual axis converge in front of the retina and cannot form a clear image on the retina. Furthermore, the change of the visual axis is also positively correlated with the temperature of the eyeball. Because the spasm of the ciliary muscle may stimulate the elongation of the visual axis of the eyeball, thereby forming irreversible true myopia, this paper also proves the correlation between eyeball temperature and myopia or eyeball changes. As the temperature of the eyeball rises, the sphere itself expands. In addition, the tissue around the eyeball has a strong resistance to expansion, so the expansion is transmitted to the bottom of the eyeball for development. Under this improper deformation of the eyeball, an eyeball with a longer visual axis is formed over time.

又Tien-Chun Chang,等所撰论文“Application of digital infrared thermalimaging in determining inflammatory state and follow-up effect ofmethylprednisolone pulse therapy in patients with Graves’ophthalmopathy”(Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol;2008,246 vol.,pp.45-49)中指出:针对葛雷夫氏症(Graves’)以计算机化远红外线热影像测量局部的温度,并能有效协助观察并记录眼球的发炎程度。另,hyang-Rong Shih等所撰论文“The application of temperaturemeasurement of the eyes by digital infrared thermal imaging as a prognosticfactor of methylprednisolone pulse therapy for Graves’ophthalmopathy”(ActaOphthalmologica;2010 vol.88,pp.164-159)可得知:在大剂量类固醇治疗后眼睛温度平均来说会下降,温度下降的程度与治疗前的眼睛温度成正相关。此等研究显示远红外线热影像的温度测量有助于预测大剂量类固醇治疗甲状腺眼病变的效果。And Tien-Chun Chang, etc. wrote the paper "Application of digital infrared thermalimaging in determining inflammatory state and follow-up effect of methylprednisolone pulse therapy in patients with Graves'ophthalmopathy" (Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol; 2008, 246 vol., pp. 45-49) pointed out that for Graves' disease (Graves'), the computerized far-infrared thermal imaging measures the local temperature, and can effectively assist in observing and recording the degree of inflammation of the eyeball. In addition, the paper "The application of temperature measurement of the eyes by digital infrared thermal imaging as a prognostic factor of methylprednisolone pulse therapy for Graves' ophthalmopathy" (ActaOphthalmologica; 2010 vol.88, pp.164-159) written by hyang-Rong Shih et al. It was learned that eye temperature decreases on average after high-dose steroid treatment, and the degree of temperature decrease is positively correlated with pre-treatment eye temperature. These studies have shown that temperature measurements from far-infrared thermography can help predict the response to high-dose steroid therapy for thyroid eye lesions.

此外,因为不同用途的电子组件不断微型化,针对可戴式或嵌入式医用(或矫正)装置整合该等电子组件的应用也越来越多。例如:美国专利US2012/0245444提出一种结合生物芯片可戴式隐形眼镜,用以侦测角膜前(泪)膜中的特定化学物质浓度。又美国专利US2010/0234717、US2013/0041245及PCT国际专利WO03/001991提出一种隐形眼镜结合电子压力传感器,用以测量眼睛内压力。然鲜少专利或文献提出隐形眼镜结合电子温度传感器以测量眼睛的表面温度,更缺乏相关前案有公开使用具温度测量功能的隐形眼镜以判断眼睛健康或病变的技术内容。In addition, due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic components for different purposes, there are more and more applications integrating such electronic components for wearable or embedded medical (or orthopedic) devices. For example, US Patent US2012/0245444 proposes a wearable contact lens combined with a biochip to detect the concentration of specific chemical substances in the precorneal (tear) film. Also US2010/0234717, US2013/0041245 and PCT international patent WO03/001991 proposed a contact lens combined with an electronic pressure sensor to measure the pressure in the eye. However, there are few patents or literatures proposing contact lenses combined with electronic temperature sensors to measure the surface temperature of the eyes, and there is even a lack of related prior patents that disclose the technical content of using contact lenses with temperature measurement functions to determine eye health or disease.

综上所述,眼睛医疗或视力矫正亟需要一种能判断眼睛健康或病变的系统及方法,由此可以广泛用于预防医学及矫正监测。To sum up, eye medical treatment or vision correction urgently needs a system and method capable of judging eye health or disease, which can be widely used in preventive medicine and correction monitoring.

For example, the size of some of the elements in the figures may be exaggerated relative to other elements to help to improve understanding of embodiments of the invention.

如前所述,眼表温度的升高或降低可用于判断眼睛是否健康、接近病变或已发生病变。尤其是睫状肌痉挛会造成近视眼,并使得眼表温度升高。下列表一显示假性近视群及正常视力群的测量眼睛表面温度的数据。As mentioned earlier, an increase or decrease in ocular surface temperature can be used to determine whether the eye is healthy, approaching disease, or has developed disease. Especially ciliary muscle spasm can cause myopia and make the ocular surface temperature rise. Table 1 below shows the measured eye surface temperature data of the pseudo-myopia group and the normal vision group.

表一Table I

医学文献亦指出:当身体温度上升(发高烧)或是眼睛表面温度会因为眼睛短距离盯着某物(书本、电视、计算机及手机等),尤其短距离及长时间注视于一目标物,会导致睫状肌长期处于高张力的状态,由于此种高张力的存在使得眼球温度随着增加。虽然白天长时间的睫状肌过度使用,但在晚上睡觉时,睫状肌会渐渐松弛,故温度应该会慢慢下降。另一方面,因为睡觉时眼睑会紧闭,故造成热量向外释放受到阻碍,亦即眼球温度仍不容易或甚至无法下降。同时,在睡觉时,因为身体的姿势改变(例如平躺),眼球的姿势也随着改变,造成眼球的玻璃体周边的压力更为升高,高温及高压就由内部传导到眼球底部的部位。故易造成眼球在视轴方向的长度变长。因日复一日相同问题一再发生,眼球的视轴长度就不断变长,从而使得成像形成在视网膜之前,亦即就产生近视。Medical literature also pointed out that when the body temperature rises (high fever) or the surface temperature of the eyes will be caused by staring at something (books, TV, computer, mobile phone, etc.) It will cause the ciliary muscle to be in a state of high tension for a long time, and the temperature of the eyeball will increase due to the existence of such high tension. Although the ciliary muscle is overused for a long time during the day, when you sleep at night, the ciliary muscle will gradually relax, so the temperature should slowly drop. On the other hand, because the eyelids will be closed tightly during sleep, the release of heat to the outside is hindered, that is, the temperature of the eyeballs is still not easy or even impossible to drop. At the same time, when sleeping, the posture of the eyeball changes due to the change of body posture (such as lying down), which causes the pressure around the vitreous body of the eyeball to increase, and the high temperature and high pressure are transmitted from the inside to the bottom of the eyeball. Therefore, it is easy to cause the length of the eyeball in the direction of the visual axis to become longer. Because the same problem occurs again and again day after day, the visual axis length of the eyeball continues to lengthen, so that the image is formed in front of the retina, that is, myopia occurs.

图1是表一中假性近视群及正常视力群的眼睛表面日间与夜间温度差异的折线图。由图可清楚得知假性近视群的眼睛表面夜间与日间温度的差异较大,亦即其眼睛表面的夜间温度明显较高。反观,正常视力群的眼睛表面夜间与日间温度的差异较小,亦即其眼睛表面的夜间温度略高一点。因此,可以通过记录眼睛表面温度的数据,从而分析并判断眼睛是否健康、接近病变或已发生病变,故能用于预防医学及矫正监测。本发明不仅限于近视眼的判断,干眼症或其它呈现温度变化的眼睛症状亦可应用于本发明的各实施例,或因应温度变化的幅度及方向适当改变各实施例的条件。图1是两群人于日间与夜间进行眼睛表面温度的测量,本发明亦可以用于长时间测量同一人在日间与夜间的眼睛表面温度的差异平均值,或长时间测量同一人于每日相同时间点的眼睛表面温度的最大变化值或平均值,或特定时段眼睛表面温度或是特定时段平均温度的差异及变化。前述实施例并不限制本发明,长时间或短时间眼睛表面温度的差异值或平均值都可以应用于本发明。Fig. 1 is a line graph of the temperature difference between daytime and nighttime of the eye surface of the pseudomyopia group and the normal vision group in Table 1. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the eye surface temperature of the pseudomyopic group has a large difference between nighttime and daytime temperatures, that is, the nighttime temperature of the eye surface is significantly higher. In contrast, the difference between the nighttime and daytime temperature of the eye surface of the normal vision group is smaller, that is, the nighttime temperature of the eye surface is slightly higher. Therefore, it is possible to analyze and judge whether the eye is healthy, close to a disease, or has a disease by recording the data of the eye surface temperature, so it can be used for preventive medicine and correction monitoring. The present invention is not limited to the judgment of myopia, dry eye or other eye symptoms showing temperature changes can also be applied to various embodiments of the present invention, or the conditions of various embodiments can be appropriately changed according to the magnitude and direction of temperature changes. Fig. 1 is the measurement of the eye surface temperature of two groups of people during the day and night, the present invention can also be used to measure the difference average of the eye surface temperature of the same person during the day and night for a long time, or measure the same person for a long time The maximum change or average value of the eye surface temperature at the same time point every day, or the difference and change of the eye surface temperature or the average temperature of a certain period of time. The foregoing embodiments do not limit the present invention, and the difference or average value of eye surface temperature over a long period of time or within a short period of time can be applied to the present invention.

如前所述,眼表温度的升高或降低可用于判断眼睛是否健康、接近病变或已发生病变。尤其是干眼症因眼泪分泌不足会造成使得眼表温度的明显改变。下列表二显示干眼症患者群及无干眼症者群的测量眼睛表面温度的数据。As mentioned earlier, an increase or decrease in ocular surface temperature can be used to determine whether the eye is healthy, approaching disease, or has developed disease. In particular, dry eye syndrome can cause significant changes in ocular surface temperature due to insufficient tear secretion. Table 2 below shows the measured ocular surface temperature data of the dry eye patient group and the non-dry eye patient group.

表二Table II

To:眨眼打开眼睑立即测量眼睛表面温度。To: Measure the eye surface temperature immediately by blinking and opening the eyelids.

Tc:于To测量后的第6秒(或第6秒至第10秒之间选定任一时间点)再次测量眼睛表面温度,且于该两次测量之间眼睑是持续张开。Tc: Measure the eye surface temperature again 6 seconds after the To measurement (or select any time point between the 6th second and the 10th second), and the eyelids are kept open between the two measurements.

Td:是To和Tc的差异值。Td: is the difference between To and Tc.

由表二所载数值可知,干眼症患者群的差异值Td明显较无干眼症者群的差异值Td低。因此可以通过此一事实作为判断干眼症发生的基础,并可列出判断准则如下:当该差异值Td小于0.2℃时,可认为眼睛应有干眼症;当该差异值Td介于0.2℃~0.4℃时,可认为眼睛可能有干眼症的发生风险;当该差异值大于0.4℃时,则可认为眼睛发生干眼症的机率低。本发明不受此实施例的限制,也可直接利用温度值To或Tc的单一数值定出另一判断准则,或是多次温度值To或Tc所形成的曲线的变化(突增、突减、递增或递减)或斜率变化定出不同的判断准则。实际上应随不同眼睛症状而改变判断准则的内容及决定方式。It can be seen from the values in Table 2 that the difference Td of the dry eye group is significantly lower than that of the non-dry eye group. Therefore, this fact can be used as the basis for judging the occurrence of dry eye, and the judgment criteria can be listed as follows: when the difference Td is less than 0.2°C, it can be considered that the eyes should have dry eye; when the difference Td is between 0.2 When the temperature ranges from 0.4°C to 0.4°C, it can be considered that the eyes may have the risk of dry eye syndrome; when the difference is greater than 0.4°C, it can be considered that the probability of dry eye syndrome is low. The present invention is not limited by this embodiment, also can directly utilize the temperature value To or the single numerical value of Tc to determine another judgment criterion, or the variation (sudden increase, sudden decrease) of the curve formed by multiple temperature values To or Tc , increasing or decreasing) or slope changes set different judgment criteria. In fact, the content of the judgment criteria and the way of decision should be changed with different eye symptoms.

由于受限于隐形眼镜20的面积,该天线23的循环数或尺寸亦相当受限制。为能补偿将该天线23的信号强度可能会不足够,可以于眼睛周围(例如眼眶)另黏贴一外部天线,故可将信号转传并加强,以利较远处的信号接收器可清楚接收到。Due to the limited area of the contact lens 20 , the cycle number or size of the antenna 23 is also quite limited. In order to compensate that the signal strength of the antenna 23 may not be sufficient, an external antenna can be pasted around the eyes (such as the eye socket), so that the signal can be transmitted and strengthened, so that the signal receiver at a distance can clearly received.

In addition, the signal transmission component 24 can convert the electrical signal (such as voltage signal or current signal) generated by the temperature sensing component 22 into a radio frequency (RF) signal, and transmit the wireless signal to the outside through the antenna 23 . However, the present invention is not limited to converting electrical signals into radio frequency (RF) signals, and may also be converted into signals of prescribed types such as Bluetooth or WiFi.

As shown in the figure, when the subject puts the contact lens 20 on the surface of the eyeball 30, the temperature sensing element 22 and the antenna 23 with the ring circuit are located in the non-visual light-receiving area, so the light entering the pupil will not be blocked , not only can be worn during sleep at night, but also suitable for simultaneous measurement during daytime activities.
