A method of estimating a full shape of a crystalline lens from measurements of the lens taken in-vivo by optical imaging techniques, the measurements comprising visible portions of the lens, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by a data-processing system, the in-vivo measurements of the lens,
- determining, by the data-processing system, non-visible portions of the lens parting from the in-vivo measurements, the method characterized in that the step of determining non-visible portions of the lens comprises:
- (a) establishing a location of a first plurality of points which defines an initial full shape of a crystalline lens,
- (b) displacing the first plurality of points a plurality of lengths following a plurality of directions to a location of a second plurality of points,
- wherein the second plurality of points are estimated points of the full shape of the lens of which the in-vivo measurements have been taken,
- wherein the initial full shape of a crystalline lens is obtained from ex-vivo measurements, and the plurality of lengths is estimated from the in-vivo measurements.
