Systems and methods for processing portable wavefront aberrometer data

A method comprising:

• capturing, by a light detector of a mobile computing device, image data corresponding to light reflected from an eye of a patient and passed through a portable wavefront aberrometer module coupled to the mobile computing device, wherein the portable wavefront aberrometer module comprises:
• a first plurality of optical components arranged to direct light along a first light path from a distal end of the portable wavefront aberrometer module to a proximal end of the portable wavefront aberrometer module, and a second plurality of optical components arranged to direct light along a second light path from the proximal end to the distal end, wherein at least a portion of the first and second light paths are coextensive;
• and
• a light source;
• wherein when the distal end of the portable wavefront aberrometer module is positioned adjacent to the light detector of the mobile computing device:
• the first plurality of optical components directs light from the light source along the first light path to the proximal end of the portable wavefront aberrometer module, and
• the second plurality of optical components directs light along the second light path from the distal end of the portable wavefront aberrometer module through a microlens array and to the light detector of the mobile computing device, wherein the microlens array is an optical component of the second plurality of optical components;
• processing the image data to compute a patient-specific parameter associated with the patient;
• and
• transmitting the patient-specific parameter to a computing device associated with a medical provider.
