Systems and Methods for Generating Patient-Specific Corneal Cross-Linking Treatment Patterns

A system for treating a cornea, comprising:

• an illumination system configured to deliver illumination that activates a photosensitizing agent applied to a cornea;
• and
• a controller configured to control the illumination system, the controller including one or more processors and one or more computer readable media, the one or more processors configured to execute instructions from the computer readable media to cause the controller to:
• receive tomographic data for a cornea;
• identify a keratoconic defect in the cornea based on the tomographic data;
• segment the keratoconic defect into treatment zones based on predefined geometric parameters, wherein the treatment zones indicate where a cross-linking agent is to be applied on the cornea and photoactivated to treat the keratoconic defect;
• and
• cause the illumination system to deliver the illumination to photoactivate the cross-linking agent according to the treatment zones.
