Patent ID: 8812280

Claim:
A non-transitory computer readable medium, storing executable instructions for facilitating the design of a therapeutic intervention for an eye of a patient, the executable instructions comprising: a geometry generation element configured to form a three dimensional representation of the eye of the patient from received image data; a user interface configured to receive a plurality of therapeutic parameters defining a proposed therapeutic intervention for the eye of the patient from an associated input device; a reconciliation engine configured to: i. establish a finite element model of the eye of the patient, according to the determined geometry of the eye and at least one biomechanical parameter of the model for each of corneal tissue, sclera tissue, and at least one other structure of the eye; ii. alter at least one of a biomechanical parameter and the determined geometry of the eye according to the therapeutic parameters; and iii. solve the established model to determine a predicted geometry of the eye after the therapeutic intervention; and an optical characterization component configured to calculate at least one optical parameter from the predicted geometry.
