Abstract:
1. A method for performing wavefront-guided laser surgery on a cornea comprising the steps of: calculating a corneal flap configuration based upon collected anatomical information on an eye and wavefront data on a cornea of the eye; transmitting the calculated corneal flap configuration to a processor in controlling relation to a femtosecond laser microkeratome; cutting a corneal flap based upon the calculated corneal flap configuration, wherein the cutting is performed by directing the femtosecond laser microkeratome onto the cornea; measuring a configuration of the created corneal flap; transmitting the measured configuration of the created corneal flap to the processor; calculating a laser ablation pattern using the anatomical information, the wavefront data, and the corneal flap measured configuration; and controlling a treatment laser to create the laser ablation pattern.
