Abstract
The present invention provides a system and a method for performing a cataract surgery. The system of the present invention includes an optical coherence tomography apparatus, an image capturing device, and a central processing unit. The method includes imaging optical coherence tomography of a patient's eye using the optical coherence tomography apparatus, capturing the patient's optical coherence tomography with the image capturing device, generating a 3D image and coordinates of the patient's eye, and determining a central location of a pupillary margin and an iridocorneal angle using a central processing unit. The center of the anterior capsule of the human crystalline lens is then calculated by matching the iridocorneal angle to the central location of the pupillary margin.
