Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for determining an ablation treatment for an eye of a patient. The systems and method may involve determining an ellipsoid shape corresponding to an anterior corneal surface of the patient's eye. The ellipsoid shape may include an anterior portion, a major axis, and an apex, where the major axis intersects the anterior portion at the apex. The systems and method may also involve determining a tilted orientation of the eye, such as when the patient fixates on a target during a laser ablation procedure. The systems and method may further involve determining the ablation treatment based on the ellipsoid shape and/or the tilted orientation.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for the administration of ablation profiles during refractive surgery treatments. Basis data framework techniques enable the implementation of ablation profiles having various shapes, resulting in increased ablation efficiency when treating certain vision conditions. Exemplary basis data architecture approaches are configured to efficiently operate with annular, elliptical, and slit laser beam shapes, for example, and to account for position-dependent ablation features.
Abstract:
Deconvolution systems and methods based on cornea smoothing can be used to obtain an ablation target or treatment shape that does not induce significant high order aberrations such as spherical aberration. Exemplary ablation targets or treatment shapes can provide a post-operative spherical aberration that is equal to or below a naturally occurring amount of spherical aberration.

Deconvolution systems and methods based on cornea smoothing can be used to obtain an ablation target or treatment shape that does not induce significant high-order aberrations such as spherical aberration. Exemplary ablation targets or treatment shapes can provide a post-operative spherical aberration that is equal to or below a naturally occurring amount of spherical aberration.
Abstract:
Treatment table verification techniques involve comparing intended refraction information with expected optical refraction information, and validating or qualifying the treatment table based on such comparisons. Systems and methods for verifying treatment tables provide enhanced safety for laser vision correction treatments.
Abstract:
Treatment validation techniques include generating a modified treatment target from an original treatment target using a modification process, and comparing induced aberrations provided by the original and modified treatment targets, so as to verify the modified treatment target or the modification process. In some cases, a modification process may include a deconvolution process, a low pass filter process, a scaling process, or an adjustment process. The induced aberrations may include high order aberrations, such as spherical aberration.
Abstract:
Embodiments generally relate to systems and methods for lenticular laser incisions based on wavefront maps. In an embodiment, a method comprises obtaining a wavefront map of a free eye using wavefront aberrometry to measure a refractive error, obtaining an iris image for the free eye using wavefront aberrometry, determining a free eye cutting profile to cut the cornea based on the wavefront measurement, determining a first translation of the free eye cutting profile based on estimated perturbation of the eye with a docking patient interface, docking the eye to a patient interface of an ultrashort pulsed laser system, obtaining an iris image for the docked eye, determining a second translation of the cutting profile for the docked eye from the free eye, using comparisons between the two iris images, and incising a bottom surface incision in the cornea based on the two translated cutting profiles.

Abstract:
A system for determining a vision treatment for an eye of a patient is provided which includes a memory and a processor, in communication with the memory, configured to receive a first treatment target corresponding to a first target shape of a surface of the eye, obtain a periphery modification function (PMF), determine a second treatment target corresponding to a second target shape of the surface of the eye by multiplying, for each of a plurality of points on the surface of the eye, the PMF by the first treatment target, and scale the second treatment target using a scaling factor such that values of the second treatment target are scaled to be greater at a mid-periphery of the eye and scaled to be lower at a far-periphery of the eye. A treatment parameter of a treatment applied to the surface of the eye is controlled by the scaled second treatment target.
