SURGICAL GUIDANCE AND PLANNING SOFTWARE FOR ASTIGMATISM TREATMENT

Abstract:

Software for calculating an astigmatism treatment is operable upon execution to perform the following steps: receiving biometric information for a patient; determining based on the biometric information an astigmatic correction comprising at least one of (a) a position for one or more limbal relaxing incisions and (b) a power and an orientation for a toric intraocular lens (IOL); generating an output comprising the astigmatic correction; receiving a selection of a different ratio of astigmatic correction attributable to the one or more limbal relaxing incisions and the toric IOL; determining an updated astigmatic correction including at least one of (a) an updated position for the one or more limbal relaxing incisions and (b) an updated power and/or orientation of the toric IOL.
