    Abstract: A system for selecting a preferred intraocular lens for implantation into an eye includes a controller having a processor and a tangible, non-transitory memory. The controller is configured to obtain diagnostic data of the eye, and obtain historical data composed of historical sets of patient data. The controller is configured to analyze individual risk factors based on the diagnostic data and obtain a weighted combination of the individual risk factors. A respective satisfaction metric for the plurality of intraocular lenses is generated based on the historical data. A preferred intraocular lens may be selected based in part on the respective satisfaction metric and the weighted combination. A visual simulation for each of the plurality of intraocular lenses may be performed, based in part on the diagnostic data. The visual simulation may incorporate an impact of the tear film data.

    Abstract: A system and method for selecting an 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 configured to selectively execute a machine learning model trained with a training dataset. Execution of the instructions by the processor causes the controller to obtain pre-operative objective data for the patient, including one or more anatomic eye measurements. The controller is configured to obtain pre-operative questionnaire data for the patient, including at least one personality trait. The pre-operative objective data and the pre-operative questionnaire data are entered as respective inputs to the machine learning model. A predicted subjective outcome score for the patient is generated as an output of the machine learning model. The intraocular lens is selected based in part on the predicted subjective outcome score.

    Abstract: An ophthalmic system for generating an ocular model of an eye includes an optical coherence tomography (OCT) device, an aberrometer, and a computer. The OCT device detects OCT light reflected from the eye. The aberrometer detects aberrometer light reflected from the eye. The computer generates the ocular model of the eye according to the reflected OCT light. The ocular model includes parameters describing the eye. The parameters include lens parameters that describe the lens of the eye. The computer determines an OCT-based wavefront according to the ocular model, determines an aberrometer-based wavefront according to the reflected aberrometer light, and compares the OCT-based and the aberrometer-based wavefronts. If the wavefronts differ beyond a predefined tolerance, the computer adjusts one or more values assigned to the parameters until the wavefronts satisfy the predefined tolerance. At least one adjusted value is assigned to a lens parameter.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for performing surgical ophthalmic procedures, such as cataract surgeries. An example method generally includes generating, using one or more measurement devices, one or more data points associated with measurements of one or more anatomical parameters for an eye to be treated. Using one or more trained machine learning models, one or more recommendations are generated including one or more IOL parameters for the IOL to be used in the cataract surgery based, at least in part, on the one or more data points. The machine learning models are trained based on at least one historical data set of data points associated with measurements of anatomical parameters mapped to treatment data and treatment result data associated with each historical patient. The one or more IOL parameters comprise one or more of an IOL type, an IOL power, or IOL placement information for implanting the IOL in the eye.

    Abstract: A method for assessing a lens capsule stability condition in an eye of a human patient includes directing electromagnetic energy in a predetermined spectrum onto a pupil of the eye, via an energy source, concurrently subsequent to a movement of the eye causing eye saccades to occur therein. The method also includes acquiring images of the eye indicative of the eye saccades using an image capture device, and computing, via the ECU, a motion curve of the lens capsule using the images. Additionally, the method includes extracting time-normalized lens capsule oscillation traces based on the motion curve via the ECU, and then model-fitting the lens capsule oscillation traces via the ECU to thereby assess the lens capsule instability condition. An automated system for performing an embodiment of the method is also disclosed herein, including the energy source, image capture device, and ECU.

    Abstract: Intraocular lens (IOL) designs include having an optic with an anterior surface and a posterior surface surrounded by an optic edge. In some examples, the IOL has a plurality of haptics, each attached to the optic at a gusset, where each gusset extends beyond the optic edge toward an optic center such that the gusset at least partially overlaps with the anterior surface of the optic. In some examples, the IOL includes a ring structure integral with the optic and surrounding the perimeter of the optic edge, the ring structure having a thickness and the optic edge having a thickness, the ring structure thickness greater than the optic edge thickness.

    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.
