ABSTRACT:
A system and method for converting measured wavefront data into an ablation profile for correcting visual defects includes providing measured wavefront data on an aberrated eye by a method such as known in the art. The measured wavefront data are correlated with accumulated data on previously treated eyes. Next an adjustment is applied to the measured wavefront data based upon the correlating step. This adjustment is used to form adjusted wavefront data for input to a wavefront data correction algorithm to calculate an ablation profile therefrom. The wavefront data correction algorithm may be modeled as, for example, Zernike polynomials with adjusted coefficients.
