Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and a method for performing a cataract surgery. The system of the present invention includes an optical coherence tomography apparatus, an image capturing device, and a central processing unit. The method includes imaging optical coherence tomography of a patient's eye using the optical coherence tomography apparatus, capturing the patient's optical coherence tomography with the image capturing device, generating a 3D image and coordinates of the patient's eye, and determining a central location of a pupillary margin and an iridocorneal angle using a central processing unit. The center of the anterior capsule of the human crystalline lens is then calculated by matching the iridocorneal angle to the central location of the pupillary margin.
Abstract:
A method for calculating the center of the anterior capsule includes the steps of: photographing the eyeball of a patient with an optical coherence tomography; generating a 3-dimensional image and coordinates based on the data obtained by the optical coherence tomography; photographing the eyeball of the patient to produce an eyeball image; and matching the 3-dimensional image and coordinates to the eyeball image so as to calculate the center of the anterior capsule of the patient. A system for calculating the center of the anterior capsule includes: an optical coherence tomography apparatus for photographing the eyeball of a patient with an optical coherence tomography; a photographing device for photographing the eyeball of the patient to generate an eyeball image; and a central processing unit for generating a 3-dimensional image and coordinates based on the data obtained by the optical coherence tomography apparatus to match the 3-dimensional image and coordinates to the eyeball image obtained by the photographing device so as to calculate the center of the anterior capsule of the patient.
