Abstract:
1. A method for determining the optical power of an intraocular lens to be inserted into the eye of a patient, the method comprising: receiving as an input from an input device an aphakic refractive power value of the patient's eye; determining, with a processor, an estimate of the post-surgical effective lens position (ELP) of the intraocular lens for the patient's eye, the estimate being based on the aphakic refractive power value of the patient's eye and on a relationship between aphakic refractive power and post-surgical intraocular lens ELP; and determining an amount of optical power for the intraocular lens to be inserted into the patient's eye based on the estimate of the post-surgical ELP of the intraocular lens in the patient's eye.
