Systems and methods for implanting and examining intraocular lens
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for designing and implanting a customized intra-ocular lens (IOL) is disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes an eye analysis module that analyzes a patient's eye and generates biometric information relating to the eye. The system also includes eye modeling and optimization modules to generate an optimized IOL model based upon the biometric information and other inputted parameters representative of patient preferences. The system further includes a manufacturing module configured manufacture the customized IOL based on the optimized IOL model. In addition, the system can include an intra-operative real time analyzer configured to measure and display topography and aberrometry information related to a patient's eye for assisting in proper implantation of the IOL.
1. A system for intraoperatively measuring tilt of an implanted intraocular lens, the system comprising:
a wavefront sensor capable of being integrated with a surgical microscope for interoperatively viewing an eye of a patient, the wavefront sensor further comprising:
a ring of a plurality of light sources to direct light toward an implanted intraocular lens within the eye;
a lens and a detector to:
receive reflected light originating from the plurality of light sources and reflected by at least the implanted intraocular lens; and
generate image data indicative of the reflected light; and
a processor having access to memory media storing instructions executable by the processor to:
receive the image data from the detector; and
calculate tilt of the implanted intraocular lens based on locations of Purkinje images identified in the image data.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wavefront sensor is included in a plug-in device that is inserted into an optical path of the surgical microscope.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:
calculate a decentering value of the implanted intraocular lens based the locations of the Purkinje images.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:
calculate a global rotation angle for the eye based the locations of the Purkinje images.
