Wavefront measurement pre-smoothing systems and methods

A system for performing a vision treatment on an eye of a patient, comprising:

• a memory;
• a communication interface that is communicatively coupled to a wavefront sensor and an eye surgery system;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the communication interface;
• wherein the processor:
• a
• receives, using the communication interface, multiple wavefront measurements for the eye of the patient from the wavefront sensor;
• determines an ocular wavefront based on the multiple wavefront measurements, wherein the ocular wavefront represents an averaged version of the multiple wavefront measurements, such that high spatial frequency features present in the multiple wavefront measurements are not present in the ocular wavefront;
• calculates a vision treatment target based on the ocular wavefront;
• and
• controls, using the communication interface, the eye surgery system to perform the vision treatment according to the vision treatment target.

A non-transitory tangible computer readable storage medium that stores instructions performing a vision treatment on an eye of a patient, wherein the instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• receive, using a communication interface multiple wavefront measurements for the eye of the patient from a wavefront sensor;
• determine an ocular wavefront based on the multiple wavefront measurements, wherein the ocular wavefront represents an averaged version of the multiple wavefront measurements, such that high spatial frequency features present in the multiple wavefront measurements are not present in the ocular wavefront;
• calculate a vision treatment target based on the ocular wavefront;
• and
• control, using the communication interface, an eye surgery system to perform the vision treatment according to the vision treatment target.
