Abstract
Apparatus for performing intraocular implant surgery, including surgical apparatus for performing intraocular implant surgery, an autorefraction device associated with the surgical apparatus, wherein the autorefraction device is configured to perform autorefraction on the aphakic eye to provide one or more aphakic refraction measurements, and a processor connected to the autorefraction device, wherein the processor is configured to process the aphakic refraction measurements and provide the user of the apparatus with information regarding the power of the intraocular lens.
Claims12
Apparatus for performing intraocular implant surgery, comprising:
- a surgical apparatus for performing intraocular implant surgery;
- an autorefraction device associated with the surgical apparatus, wherein the autorefraction device is configured to perform autorefraction on the aphakic eye following extraction of the native lens, to provide one or more aphakic refraction measurements;
- and
- a processor connected to the autorefraction device, wherein the processor is configured to process the aphakic refraction measurements and provide the user of the apparatus with information regarding the power of the intraocular lens, and wherein the processor uses a predictive model that provides a relationship between the autorefraction measurements and the power of the intraocular lens.
