Patent ID: 8820929

Claim:
An apparatus for providing feedback during a vision correction procedure comprising: a real-time wavefront sensor configured to receive, during the vision correction procedure, an optical wavefront from a biological eye to measure aberrations, in real-time, of the optical wavefront; a real-time video camera configured to collect real-time video movie information, on a frame-by-frame basis, of the biological eye during the vision correction procedure and while the wavefront sensor is measuring the aberrations of the optical wavefront, with the video movie capturing one or more state(s) of the biological eye including intra ocular lens (IOL) alignment to registration marks, eyelid closure, irrigation, air bubbles, light path interference and tear build-up occurring during the vision correction procedure; a computer system, coupled to the real-time wavefront sensor and real-time video camera, with the computer system configured to store measured aberrations of the optical wavefront and collected real-time video movie information and configured to enable synchronized data processing, recording, display and playback of both stored measured aberrations of the optical wavefront and stored video movie information of the biological eye; and a display, connected to the computer, configured to simultaneously display, in real-time or in playback mode, aberrations of the optical wavefront measured at a particular time during the vision correction procedure and a frame of the video movie information of the biological eye collected at the particular time to allow correlation of aberrations of optical wavefront data measured at the particular time with one or more state(s) of the biological eye including intra ocular lens (IOL) alignment to registration marks, eyelid closure, irrigation, air bubbles, light path interference and tear build-up occurring during the vision correction procedure at the particular time.
