Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods that facilitate optical analysis, particularly for the diagnosis and treatment of refractive errors of the eye. An optical diagnostic method for an eye includes obtaining a sequence of aberration measurements of the eye, identifying an outlier aberration measurement of the sequence of aberration measurements, and excluding the outlier aberration measurement from the sequence of aberration measurements to produce a qualified sequence of aberration measurements. The sequence of aberrations measurements can be obtained by using a wavefront sensor. An optical correction for the eye can be formulated in response to the qualified sequence of aberration measurements.

A method for configuring a contact lens for an eye, the method comprising:
- obtaining a quantification of optical aberrations of the eye;
- measuring a sequence of positions of a contact disposed on the eye relative to the eye;
- determining a statistical dispersion of the sequence of positions;
- and
- determining an optical correction to incorporate into the contact lens based on the quantification and the statistical dispersion.
An optical diagnostic system for an eye having a pupil, the system comprising:
- a sensing device for measuring aberrations of the eye for each of a sequence of aberration measurements of the eye;
- and
- a computer coupled with the sensing device, the computer comprising a processor and a computer readable medium comprising instructions executable by the processor to identify an outlier aberration measurement of the sequence of aberration measurements of the eye and exclude the outlier aberration measurement from the sequence of aberration measurements to produce a qualified sequence of aberration measurements.
