Systems and methods for implanting and examining intraocular lens

A method of designing a customized IOL having an optical disc and one or more haptics extending form the optical disc, comprising:

• (a) generating a lens model of the optical disc based upon parameters of a patient's eye, wherein the lens model of the optical disc comprises a plurality of tessellated triangular elements on at least one surface of the disc;
• (b) optimizing the lens model by iterating a ray tracing algorithm until predefined parameters are satisfied;
• and
• (c) generating a model of the IOL that includes information regarding the design of the one or more haptics and the optimized lens model generated in step (b).

An intra-operative device used for examining an IOL implanted into a patient's eye, comprising:

• (a) a first optical layout having
• (a1) an illumination system configured to emit light;
• (a2) a beam splitter configured reflect light from the illumination system into a patient's eye and transmit light reflected from the patient's eye;
• (a3) an optical assembly configured as a wavefront sensor, the optical assembly configured to receive light transmitted through the beam splitter;
• and
• (a4) a first optical layout detector positioned to receive light outputted from the optical assembly;
• and
• (b) a second optical layout positioned along an optical axis of a patient's eye, the second optical layout comprising
• (b1) a light emitting diode (LED) annular lighting ring that emits tilted light rays with respect to the optical axis;
• (b2) an imaging optical system positioned along the optical axis;
• and
• (b3) a second optical layout detector positioned along the optical axis;
• wherein the imaging optical system is configured to image Purkinje images reflected from the patient's eye onto the second detector.
