Abstract

Systems and methods produce implants for treating keratoconus or other eye disorders. An example method includes identifying a subject with keratoconus. The method includes obtaining, with assessment means, an assessment of a cornea of a subject; determining, by processor(s), inverse measurements for correcting one or more irregularities associated with the keratoconus based on the assessment; and shaping, with a laser system, a donor cornea according to a pattern based on the inverse measurements. The example method may further include determining smoothing effects associated with the cornea, wherein the inverse measurements are based further on the smoothing effects, and the pattern for shaping the donor cornea is based further on the smoothing effects. Obtaining the assessment of the cornea may include obtaining a topographic measurement, a tomographic measurement, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT), Scheimpflug imaging, an epithelium mapping, a stromal thickness mapping, and/or one or more biomechanical measurements.
