Patent ID: 8585687

Claim:
A system for determining an ablation target shape for a laser vision treatment for an eye of a patient, comprising: a wavefront input module comprising a tangible medium embodying machine-readable code that receives a wavefront information comprising a wavefront value or a wavefront gradient value of an eye as determined by a wavefront sensor and that receives a desired wavefront value or a desired wavefront gradient value of the eye; a topography input module comprising a tangible medium embodying machine-readable code that receives an anterior corneal shape information comprising an anterior corneal shape value or an anterior corneal shape gradient value of the eye as determined by a corneal topography device; and a processing module comprising a tangible medium embodying machine-readable code that combines the wavefront value, the desired wavefront value, and the anterior corneal shape value, or the wavefront gradient value, the desired wavefront gradient value, and the anterior corneal shape gradient value, to provide the ablation target shape.
