Ophthalmic instruments

Introduction to Ophthalmic instruments

Machined metal ophthalmic implant devices are mainly used for the treatment and repair of ophthalmic diseases.

Function

Improving eye function: Glaucoma drainage devices, usually made of materials such as metal, function to drain excess aqueous humor from the eye to the outside to reduce intraocular pressure, thereby slowing down or preventing the progression of glaucoma, protecting the optic nerve, and maintaining the patient's visual function.

Supporting and repairing eye structures: Some metal implants can be used to repair bone or soft tissue injuries in the eyes. The metal plates and screws used in the repair of orbital fractures can provide stable support, promote fracture healing, restore the normal structure and function of the orbit, and protect the eyeball and its surrounding tissues.

Importance

Improving the quality of life of patients: Machined metal ophthalmic implant devices can effectively treat various ophthalmic diseases, significantly improve patients' vision and ocular function, enabling them to carry out daily life activities normally, such as reading, driving, and working, greatly enhancing their quality of life.

Saving vision: In some serious ophthalmic diseases, if appropriate implants are not used for treatment in time, it may lead to blindness in patients. These implants can prevent the progression of diseases, save patients' vision and avoid the physical and mental pain and social burden caused by blindness.

Processing difficulties

High-precision ophthalmic implants machining requirements: The structure of the eye is extremely delicate, and the implant needs to precisely match the anatomical structure of the eye. Therefore, the processing accuracy requirements of Precision ophthalmic implant are extremely high.

Complex shapes and structures: Some ophthalmic implants have complex shapes and structures, such as glaucoma drainage devices with micro-pores or special surface textures. These designs are intended to better adapt to the physiological environment of the eye and achieve specific functions, but they pose significant challenges in processing. The traditional processing methods are difficult to meet the processing requirements of its complex shapes, and advanced Medical-grade CNC machining for implants need to be adopted.

High material performance requirements: Metal materials used for ophthalmic implants need to have good biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, strength and toughness, etc. For instance, titanium alloy is a commonly used material for ophthalmic implants. It has excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. However, the processing of titanium alloy is rather difficult. During the cutting process, it is prone to work hardening, resulting in rapid tool wear and low processing efficiency.

Strict surface quality requirements: The surface quality of the implant directly affects its biocompatibility and stability in the eye. Surface roughness, flatness and surface cleanliness, etc. all need to be strictly controlled. Minor surface defects or impurities may cause an inflammatory response in the ocular tissues or lead to poor adhesion between the implant and the surrounding tissues, affecting the therapeutic effect. Therefore, during the processing, meticulous polishing and cleaning techniques need to be adopted to ensure that the surface quality of Precision ophthalmic implant meets the requirements.
