“…9,10 Ray-tracing IOL power calculation using Placido topography data is commercially available. 11 In the calculation using Okulix software (Tomey Corp.), the IOL power and its predicted postoperative refraction are calculated with AL and anterior corneal curvature data by ray tracing from the retina throughout a pseudophakic eye. A previous study 12 reports that ray-tracing calculations provide better visual outcomes than SRK/ T-based calculations after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).…”

“…31 There is also some literature regarding the actual calculation-beyond a simple analysis-of optical components, such as IOLs, employing RRT. [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] There are other published studies that are not directly IOL-or refractive-surgery-related; for instance, some studies used RRT for the analysis of schematic eyes.

PURPOSE:To describe the individual virtual eye, a computer model of a human eye with respect to its optical properties. It is based on measurements of an individual person and one of its major application is calculating intraocular lenses (IOLs) for cataract surgery. METHODS: The model is constructed from an eye's geometry, including axial length and topographic measurements of the anterior corneal surface. All optical components of a pseudophakic eye are modeled with computer scientific methods. A spline-based interpolation method efficiently includes data from corneal topographic measurements. The geometrical optical properties, such as the wavefront aberration, are simulated with real ray-tracing using Snell's law. Optical components can be calculated using computer scientific optimization procedures. The geometry of customized aspheric IOLs was calculated for 32 eyes and the resulting wavefront aberration was investigated. RESULTS: The more complex the calculated IOL is, the lower the residual wavefront error is. Spherical IOLs are only able to correct for the defocus, while toric IOLs also eliminate astigmatism. Spherical aberration is additionally reduced by aspheric and toric aspheric IOLs. The efficient implementation of time-critical numerical ray-tracing and optimization procedures allows for short calculation times, which may lead to a practicable method integrated in some device. CONCLUSIONS: The individual virtual eye allows for simulations and calculations regarding geometrical optics for individual persons. This leads to clinical applications like IOL calculation, with the potential to overcome the limitations of those current calculation methods that are based on paraxial optics, exemplary shown by calculating customized aspheric IOLs.

RESUMEN OBJETIVO:Describir el ojo virtual individualizado, que es un modelo computacional de ojo humano con respecto a sus propiedades ópticas. Está basado en las medidas realizadas en cada persona, de manera individual. Una de sus principales aplicaciones es el cálculo de lentes intraoculares (LIO) para cirugía de cataratas. MÉTODOS:El modelo está construido a partir de datos de geometría ocular; en particular, la longitud axial y las medidas topográficas de la cara anterior de la córnea. Todos los componentes ópticos de un ojo pseudofáquico se modelan por medio de métodos computacionales científicos. El método de interpolación por splines permite incluir de manera eficiente los datos obtenidos en las medidas de topografía corneal. Las propiedades relacionadas con la óptica geométrica, como el patrón de aberración del frente de onda, se obtienen a partir de la simulación de un trazado de rayos reales, el cual emplea la ley de Snell. Los componentes ópticos se pueden calcular empleando procedimientos computacionales de optimización. Para 32 ojos distintos, se calculó la geometría de la c...

“…This was confirmed in a large-population study 25 in which the mean anterior corneal eccentricity values were used. In a further step in this direction, personalized corneal eccentricities, calculated from the anterior corneal topography, were introduced into the nonparaxial ray-tracing procedure, 26 showing their influence in the calculation, especially in post-LASIK eyes. The effect of the rest of the anterior corneal aberrations was not considered in the calculation, although a visual impression was generated to subjectively judge their impact.…”
