Patent ID: 11881310
Assignee: AMO GRONINGEN B.V.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. An optical system configured to select an intraocular lens (IOL) from a plurality of IOLs for manufacture or for implantation into a patient eye, the selected IOL configured or manufactured to improve post-surgical spectacle independence outcome for the patient, the system comprising:
a processor configured to execute programmable instructions stored in a non-transitory computer storage medium; and
a population database comprising clinical data for a plurality of patients implanted with one of the plurality of IOLs, the clinical data comprising information related to spectacle independence for a plurality of values of visual acuity between about −0.2 log MAR and about 1 log MAR at various defocus conditions between about −5D and 0D, wherein the information related to spectacle independence is based on responses of the patients implanted with one of the plurality of IOLs to a questionnaire,
wherein the processor is configured to:
calculate, using Bayesian analysis, for each of the plurality of IOLs, a probability of being spectacle independent for visual acuity equal to a threshold value between about −0.2 log MAR and about 1 log MAR at at least one defocus conditions between about −5D and 0D based on the information related to spectacle independence obtained from the population database and measured or calculated pre-clinical data about the plurality of IOLs; and
identify one of the plurality of IOLs having a higher probability of being spectacle independent for manufacture or for implantation into the patient's eye.
