    Abstract: A system and method for selecting a preferred intraocular lens, for implantation into an eye, includes a controller having a processor and a tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded. The controller is in communication with a diagnostic module adapted to store pre-operative anatomic data of the eye as an eye model. The controller is configured to determine respective imputed post-operative variables for each of a plurality of intraocular lenses, via a projection module. A respective pseudophakic eye model is generated for each of the plurality of intraocular lenses by incorporating the respective imputed post-operative variables into the eye model. A ray tracing module is executed in the respective pseudophakic eye model to determine at least one respective metric for the plurality of intraocular lenses. The preferred intraocular lens is selected based on a comparison of the respective metric.

    Abstract: A system for predicting post-operative vignetting in an eye of a subject includes a controller having a processor and a tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded. The controller is in communication with a diagnostic module adapted to store pre-operative anatomic data of the eye as an eye model. The system includes a projection module and a ray tracing module selectively executable by the controller. The projection module is adapted to determine imputed post-operative variables of the eye based at least partially on the pre-operative anatomic data and the intraocular lens. The ray tracing module is adapted to calculate propagation of light through the eye. The ray tracing module is executed to determine a light distribution for respective visual field angles across a predefined field of view. The controller is configured to determine one or more post-operative vignetting parameters based at least partially on the light distribution.

    Abstract: A method of verifying ophthalmic measurements includes obtaining, via an ophthalmic measurement device, a first measurement of at least one ophthalmic parameter over a first measurement area. The first measurement area corresponds to an unassisted visible area of a patient's eye. A second measurement of the at least one ophthalmic parameter over a second measurement area is obtained via the measurement device. The second measurement area corresponds to an assisted visible area of the patient's eye. The first measurement is compared to the second measurement. It is determined if the second measurement diverges from the first measurement. Responsive to a determination that the second measurement diverges from the first measurement, an alert that the second measurement is inaccurate is generated. Responsive to a determination that the second measurement does not diverge from the first measurement, the second measurement is accepted as accurate.
