System and method for obtaining profile of eye lens capsule

A method for obtaining a profile of a lens capsule of an eye with a controller having at least one processor and at least one non-transitory, tangible memory, the method comprising:

• obtaining imaging data for a portion of the lens capsule visible through a pupil of the eye, the imaging data including posterior datapoints and anterior datapoints;
• transforming the imaging data to an adjusted frame of reference having a first axis (X) and a second axis (Y), via the controller, the profile of the lens capsule being represented by respective central surfaces and respective equatorial surfaces separated by respective transition points in the adjusted frame of reference;
• fitting the imaging data to the respective central surfaces in a predefined central region in the adjusted frame of reference, via the controller;
• obtaining a transition coordinate as a coordinate value of the respective transition points in a positive X-domain, via the controller;
• determining a set of fitting parameters for the respective central surfaces and the respective equatorial surfaces based on the transition coordinate and a plurality of constraints, via the controller;
• and
• obtaining the profile based on the set of fitting parameters for the respective central surfaces and the respective equatorial surfaces, via the controller.
