Abstract
A customized corneal profile is provided by combining corneal topography data with captured wavefront aberration data to form a course of refractive treatment of the eye. In one embodiment, the captured wavefront data is employed within the area of a pupil, while the corneal topography data is employed in the area outside of the pupil. In other embodiments, the topography data is adjusted based on the wavefront data, a course of refractive treatment is simulated and displayed upon the topography data, and an initial evaluation of the suitability of a patient for treatment is performed based on the topography data.
