Abstract

See full text

A method for improving an accuracy of a prescription for laser-ablation corneal treatment includes the step of receiving a set of raw data comprising Hartmann-Shack image data obtained from a plurality of aberrometer measurements of a patient eye. The Hartmann-Shack data can include, for example, a dot pattern image for each measurement. A set of reconstructed wavefront data calculated from the set of raw data for the plurality of aberrometer measurements is also received. Data on a selected component of the set of raw data and in the set of reconstructed wavefront data are compared. If the selected component data differ more than a predetermined amount between the raw data and the reconstructed wavefront data, the raw data can be further manipulated prior to undertaking laser ablation. In addition, these data are removed from consideration for inclusion in the database of treatment outcomes.
