Selection of a preferred intraocular lens based on ray tracing

A system for selecting a preferred intraocular lens for implantation into an eye, the system comprising:

• a controller having a processor and a tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded;
• a diagnostic module in communication with the controller and adapted to store pre-operative anatomic data of the eye as an eye model;
• a projection module selectively executable by the controller and adapted to determine respective imputed post-operative variables of the eye based in part on the pre-operative anatomic data;
• a ray tracing module selectively executable by the controller and adapted to calculate a propagation of light through the eye;
• and
• wherein the controller is configured to:
• obtain the pre-operative anatomic data of the eye, via the diagnostic module;
• determine the respective imputed post-operative variables for each of a plurality of intraocular lenses, via the projection module;
• generate a respective pseudophakic eye model for each of the plurality of intraocular lenses by incorporating the respective imputed post-operative variables into the eye model;
• execute the ray tracing module in the respective pseudophakic eye model to determine at least one respective metric for the plurality of intraocular lenses;
• and
• select the preferred intraocular lens from the plurality of intraocular lenses based in part on a comparison of the at least one respective metric.
