Customized ablation to correct visual ametropia

An apparatus for visual ametropia correction, comprising:

• a. means for obtaining topographic information of an anterior surface and topographic information of a posterior surface of a cornea of an individual eye;
• b. means for obtaining topographic information of an anterior surface and topographic information of a posterior surface of a lens of the individual eye;
• c. means for obtaining distance information of a retina of the eye relative to the anterior surface of the cornea of the individual eye;
• d. means for determining correction information relating to the anterior surface of the cornea, such as to optimize focusing onto the retina of the eye, based on the topographic information of the anterior surface and of the posterior surface of the cornea and the topographic information of the anterior surface and of the posterior surface of the lens.

A computer program for visual ametropia correction comprising instructions which when executed cause an apparatus to:

• a. obtain topographic information of an anterior surface and topographic information of a posterior surface of a cornea of an individual eye;
• b. obtain topographic information of an anterior surface and topographic information of a posterior surface of a lens of the individual eye;
• c. obtain distance information of a retina of the eye relative to the anterior surface of the cornea of the individual eye;
• d. determine correction information relating to the anterior surface of the cornea, such as to optimize focusing onto the retina of the eye, based on the topographic information of the anterior surface and of the posterior surface of the cornea and the topographic information of the anterior surface and of the posterior surface of the lens.
