Visualization of ocular lens based on tilted oct imaging

A method visualizing an eye using an optical coherence tomography (“OCT”) device with a system having a controller with at least one processor and at least one non-transitory, tangible memory, the method comprising:

• receiving a first dataset captured with an OCT beam axis at a first tilt angle from a first visual axis, the OCT device producing an OCT beam defined by the OCT beam axis;
• receiving a second dataset captured with the OCT beam axis at a second tilt angle from a second visual axis;
• generating a plurality of lens segments based on the first dataset and the second dataset;
• and
• generating a lens profile based in part on the plurality of lens segments.

A system of visualizing an eye using an optical coherence tomography (“OCT”) device, the system comprising:

• a controller having at least one processor and at least one non-transitory, tangible memory on which instructions are recorded;
• wherein the OCT device produces an OCT beam defined by an OCT beam axis, execution of the instructions by the processor causing the controller to:
• receive a first dataset captured with the OCT beam axis at a first tilt angle from a first visual axis of the eye;
• receive a second dataset captured with the OCT beam axis at a second tilt angle from a second visual axis of the eye;
• generate a plurality of lens segments based on the first dataset and the second dataset;
• and
• perform redundant surface mapping of the plurality of lens segments and generate a lens profile based in part on the plurality of lens segments;
• wherein the first dataset is captured with the eye focused on a first side and the OCT beam is directed from a temporal region adjacent to the eye on a second side;
• wherein the second dataset is captured with the eye focused along a third side and the OCT beam is directed from a nasal region adjacent to the eye;
• and
• wherein the first tilt angle and the second tilt angle are each between about 25 degrees and about 45 degrees.
