ABSTRACT:
A method for optimizing a prescription for laser-ablation corneal treatment achieves the modification of wavefront-based refractive correction data with the use of user/doctor-input nomograms. Data comprising a wavefront description of a patient eye are received and displayed to a user, who can then make modifications to these treatment data. A modification is calculated based upon the desired correction to yield corrected wavefront description data, which are displayed to the user. A system includes a processor and a device for transmitting a wavefront description of a patient eye to the processor. An input device is adapted to receive a desired correction to the wavefront description data. Software is resident on the processor having code segments for implementing the calculations as described.
