METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMBINING OCT AND RAY TRACING TO CREATE AN OPTICAL MODEL FOR ACHIEVING A PREDICTIVE OUTCOME

摘要

A system (10) and method are provided for combining the imaging capabilities (24) of an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) device (14) with the calculated results (26) of ray tracing techniques (22). The combination is then used to derive a predictive refractive outcome for an optical model (30). The resultant optical model includes diopter power and size information for use in preoperative planning (e.g. a capsulotomy) and/or for the manufacture of an Intraocular Lens (IOL).
