Customized transition zone system and method for an ablation pattern

摘要

The present invention discloses a corneal refractive procedure providing a customized transition zone. The customized transition zone provided according to the methods and systems of the present invention exhibits continuous curvature between an ablated optical zone and a non-ablated zone to address curvature discontinuity at the edge of the optical zone, thereby minimizing the biomechanical response and its postoperative effects on vision.
