Obtaining and displaying histogram and/or confidence of intra-operative refraction and/or IOL power recommendation
In order to take advantage of the real time nature of intra-operative refraction or wavefront aberrometry, and visually make the history of the measurements apparent to a surgeon, a histogram of frequency vs IOL results calculated from an IOL formula is computed and IOL suggestions being accumulated are displayed in a histogram. One embodiment is a means to present to a surgeon a histogram of intra-operative refractions. Another embodiment is to automatically and intra-operatively detect the aphakic phase of a cataract surgery to display a histogram of a recommended IOL power.
METHOD FOR GENERATING EYEGLASS-PRESCRIPTION ASSISTING INFORMATION
A CPU of an eyeglass-prescription assisting apparatus is configured to obtain measurement data on an examinee's eye measured by a wavefront sensor, including first distribution data on a refractive error distribution of an examinee's eye and second distribution data on a refractive power distribution in an eyeglass lens to correct the refractive error of the examinee's eye. The CPU further makes arithmetic processing to obtain third distribution data on a refractive error distribution taking correction with the eyeglass lens into consideration based on the first distribution data and the second distribution data.
WAVEFRONT HIGHER ORDER CORRECTION OF IOLS USING REFRACTIVE INDEX MODIFICATION
An intraocular lens (IOL) implanted in a patient's eye in a cataract procedure is modified by altering the spatial refractive index profile of the IOL to remove higher order aberrations of the patient's visual system. The higher order aberrations are measured by an aberrometer, and the measured distortions on the cornea are propagated from the corneal surfaces to the IOL plane, and corrected in the IOL. This allows the choice to have high order aberration correction to be an independent choice for the patient, independent of the decision to have cataract surgery. In addition, patients with existing standard IOLs implanted may obtain the benefit of high order aberration correction at any time after implantation.
Systems and methods for sub-aperture based aberration measurement and correction in interferometric imaging
Systems and methods for sub-aperture correlation based wavefront measurement in a thick sample and correction as a post processing technique for interferometric imaging to achieve near diffraction limited resolution are described. Theory, simulation and experimental results are presented for the case of full field interference microscopy.
