MODIFICATION OF LASER ABLATION TREATMENT PRESCRIPTION USING CORNEAL MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

摘要

A method of the present invention is directed to improving an outcome of a surgical procedure on a patient cornea. The method includes the steps of measuring a mechanical parameter of a cornea of an eye and determining a laser-surgery prescription for the cornea to improve a visual parameter therefor. The prescription is then adjusted based upon the measured mechanical parameter of the cornea.
