Apparatus for corneal shape analysis and method for determining a corneal thickness

摘要

A method of determining a corneal thickness and an apparatus for determining the same. The method comprises the following steps of illuminating a cornea by a plurality of stimulator point light sources, capturing an image of the cornea comprising reflected images of the stimulator point light sources, obtaining a first model representing an anterior surface of the cornea, constructing a second model representing a posterior surface of the cornea from the image by ray-tracing the reflected images of the stimulator point light sources towards the first model representing the anterior surface of the cornea, and determining the corneal thickness from the first model representing the anterior surface and the second model representing the posterior surface.
