Color correction in ophthalmic imaging

Abstract

Certain embodiments provide a method of generating a color-corrected ophthalmic image. The method comprises obtaining an ophthalmic image of an eye with a nuclear sclerotic cataract or a tinted intraocular lens (“IOL”). The method further comprises determining color-shift information associated with the ophthalmic image based on at least one of user input and by processing the obtained image, the color-shift information indicative of the extent to which color in the obtained image is to be corrected to at least partially remedy the effect of the nuclear sclerotic cataract or the tinted IOL on the color of the obtained image. The method further comprises color-correcting the ophthalmic image based on the color-shift information. The method further comprises generating the color-corrected ophthalmic image based on the color-correcting.
