Abstract

Methods and systems for obtaining an ocular aberration measurement of an eye of a patient are provided. Exemplary techniques involve obtaining a first induced metric for the eye that corresponds to a first accommodation state of the eye, obtaining a second induced metric for the eye that corresponds to a second accommodation state of the eye, and determining a natural metric of the eye based on the first and second induced metrics. An induced metric may include a pupil size or a spherical aberration. Techniques can also include determining a target metric for the eye base on the natural metric, determining whether an actual metric of the eye meets the target metric, obtaining an ocular aberration measurement of the eye if the actual metric meets the target metric, and determining a treatment for the eye based on the ocular aberration measurement.

Claims (9)

1. A method of determining a treatment for an eye of a patient, the method comprising:

obtaining a corneal aberration measurement corresponding to a corneal plane of the eye of the patient;

obtaining an ocular aberration measurement corresponding to an exit pupil plane of the eye of the patient;

determining the aberration of a lens based on a difference between the corneal aberration measurement and the ocular aberration measurement represented at a lens plane of the eye of the patient;

determining a contact lens treatment for the eye based on the aberration of the lens; and

providing a contact lens prescription based on the determined treatment for the eye.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the corneal aberration measurement is obtained using a topography device.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the corneal aberration measurement comprises a corneal spherical aberration and the aberration of the lens comprises a lens spherical aberration.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the ocular aberration measurement is obtained using a wavefront aberrometer.
