CALCULATING AN INTRAOCULAR LENS (IOL) POWER ACCORDING TO
A DIRECTLY DETERMINED IOL LOCATION
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates generally to intraocular lenses (IOLs),
and more particularly to calculating an intraocular lens (IOL) power according
to a directly determined IOL location.
BACKGROUND
An intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens that may be implanted into
an eye. The IOL refracts light by an amount described by the refractive power
of the IOL. The IOL power may be calculated from features of a patient's eye.
An IOL with the appropriate power should be used in order to properly correct
the patient's vision. Known techniques for calculating IOL power typically
make simplifying assumptions. These assumptions, however, may yield IOL
power values that might not be suitable in certain situations.
3815 F WO
BRIEF SUMMARY
In certain embodiments, calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power
includes determining locations of parts of an eye along an axis of the eye.
The locations include the location of a cornea, the anterior and posterior
locations of a crystalline lens, and the location of a retina. An IOL location of
an IOL is calculated according to the anterior and posterior locations of the
crystalline lens. Corneal data is also determined. The IOL power is
calculated using the corneal data, the IOL location, and the retinal location. In
certain embodiments, features of the IOL, such as aspects of the optic or
haptics, may be used in the calculation. In certain embodiments, refractive
indices are determined for segments of the axis, and at least one location is
adjusted according to the refractive indices.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS
Referring now to the description and drawings, example embodiments
of the disclosed apparatuses, systems, and methods are shown in detail. The
description and drawings are not intended to be exhaustive or otherwise limit
or restrict the claims to the specific embodiments shown in the drawings and
disclosed in the description. Although the drawings represent possible
embodiments, the drawings are not necessarily to scale and certain features
may be exaggerated, removed, or partially sectioned to better illustrate the
embodiments.
FIGURES 1 and 2 illustrate examples of a system and method for
calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power. In certain embodiments, the IOL
power can refer to various features of the IOL, such as a shape, size, and
refractive power of the IOL. Calculating IOL power refers to determining the
appropriate IOL that optimizes vision for a particular eye. The appropriate IOL
may be determined using preoperative data of the eye.
FIGURE 1 includes a diagram 10 that illustrates examples of parts of
an eye. The parts of the eye include a cornea 24, and crystalline lens (or lens)
26, and a retina 30, as well as an axis 20 of the eye. Cornea 24 is the clear
outer part of the eye that directs light to lens 26. Lens 26 is the clear part
behind the iris that helps to focus light onto the retina 30. Retina 30 is the
light-sensitive tissue lining at the back of the eye. Retina 30 converts light into
electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve. Axis 20
may refer to the visual axis along which light travels through the eye to retina
Diagram 10 also illustrates an intraocular lens (IOL) 28. An IOL 28 is a
synthetic lens that may be implanted into an eye. IOL 28 may be a small
plastic lens (or optic) with haptics that hold IOL 28 in place within the capsular
bag inside of the eye. During cataract surgery, the crystalline lens material is
removed from the capsular bag and postoperatively the capsular bag shrinks
and holds IOL 28 in place. The capsular bag and features of IOL 28 affect the
final axial location of IOL 28. Features of IOL 28 may include the IOL power
and the design of IOL 28, including the shape, size (e.g., thickness and
diameter), and arrangement of parts of IOL 28 such as the optic and haptics.
3815 F WO
In certain embodiments, the calculation of IOL power may take into
account certain parameters such as the power of cornea 24 and the locations
of cornea 24, IOL 28, and retina 30 along axis 20. Diagram 10 illustrates
examples of determining certain parameters. For example, the corneal data
may take into account the shape of the cornea measured by, e.g., a
topography system. The location of IOL 28 may be directly estimated, as
described in more detail below. A wavefront calculation may be used to
determine the IOL power from these parameters.
FIGURE 2 illustrates a system 50 and may be used to calculate IOL
power. System 50 includes one or more interfaces 52, logic 54, and one or
more memories 56. Interfaces 52 include one or more user interfaces 60 (UIs)
and one or more measuring devices 62. Logic includes one or more input
modules 64 and an IOL power calculator 68. Input modules 64 include a
location module 70 and a corneal data module 74. Memories 56 store
information for system 50, for example, refractive indices 80 and location
information 82 used by or calculated by location module 70.
System 50 may be used to create an accurate raytrace model of the
eye. The model allows a user to measure postoperative physical parameters
of the eye, which may be used to improve the model. System 50 may be used
to accurately calculate IOL power, such as within 1D or 0.5D of the target
power.
A UI 60 allows a user to receive output from and/or provide input to a
computerized system. Examples of a UI 60 include a keyboard, display,
mouse, microphone, speaker, or other user interface device. A measuring
device 62 measures one or more features of an eye. Examples of measuring
devices include wavefront sensors and Optical Coherence Tomography
(OCT) or Optical Low Coherence Reflectometry (OLCR) optical biometers
(such as a LENSTAR biometer).
Input modules 64 generate input for IOL power calculator 68 to allow
calculator 68 to calculate an IOL power. Location module 70 determines the
locations of certain parts of the eye along axis 20. In certain embodiments, the
locations include a corneal location of a cornea, a crystalline lens anterior
location of a crystalline lens, a crystalline lens posterior location of the
crystalline lens, and a retinal location of a retina. The corneal location is the
3815 F WO
location of cornea 24 along axis 20. The anterior location of lens 26 is the
location of the surface of lens 26 proximate to the anterior of the eye, and the
posterior location of lens 26 the location of the surface of lens proximate to
the posterior of the eye. The retinal location is the location of the surface of
retina 30.
Location module 70 may determine a location by measuring the
location or by calculating the location from one or more received
measurements and/or values. For example, the axial length, crystalline lens
anterior location, and/or crystalline lens posterior location may be determined
by measuring with an optical biometer system.
Location module 70 may determine the location of IOL 28 by directly
estimating the location from measurements. In certain embodiments, location
module may calculate the IOL location according to features of the IOL and/or
features of the eye (such as the corneal power, the axial length, the crystalline
lens anterior location, and/or the crystalline lens posterior location). An
example of this is described in more detail with reference to FIGURE 3.
Location module 70 may adjust the locations to provide more
accurate location values. In certain embodiments, location module 70 may
determine refractive indices for segments of axis 20 and adjust a location
according to the refractive indices. An example of this is described in more
detail with reference to FIGURE 4.
Corneal data module 74 determines data describing cornea 24, such
as corneal power and topography. The corneal data may be determined in
any suitable manner. In certain embodiments, the corneal data is determined
according to the keratometry K value of the cornea. Keratometry is the
measurement of the corneal radius of curvature, and the K value provides an
estimate of the combined power of the anterior and posterior corneal
surfaces. In certain embodiments, a corneal topography system may
measure and generate a refractive map of the cornea. The refractive map
may take into account the variation of the corneal power across the cornea.
In certain embodiments, the corneal data is determined according to
the physical shape of the cornea, e.g., the anterior and posterior surfaces of
the cornea. Zernike polynomials may be used to describe the topography. In
some cases, the posterior corneal surface may be assumed to be spherical
3815 F WO
with a radius smaller than that of the anterior corneal surface (e.g.,
approximately 0.8, such as 0.84, of the anterior radius). In other cases, the
surfaces of the cornea can be approximated by conic surfaces or conic toroid
surfaces. Different levels of asphericity can also be utilized. In yet other
cases, posterior corneal topography may be measured, e.g., by an ultrasound
or Scheimpflug measurement system. In certain embodiments, the physical
corneal topography can be used to create a raytrace model for the eye.
IOL power calculator 68 determines the power of IOL 28. In certain
embodiments, IOL power calculator 68 calculates the IOL power from the
corneal data, the IOL location, and the retinal location. The IOL power may
be determined such that IOL 28 (in combination with cornea 24) focuses an
image at the location of retina 30. For example, an IOL of approximately
correct power is inserted into an eye model, and the IOL power is then
adjusted until the image is in focus. The focus location may be calculated
according to any suitable method, e.g., using specific rays, calculated
wavefront, through-focus modulation transfer function (MTF), or other aspect
of focused light. In certain embodiments, IOL power calculator 68 may include
raytrace or other suitable software. In certain embodiments, the haptics may
be considered when determining the optic location.
In certain embodiments, the calculation of the IOL power may take into
account other factors. For example, the pupil diameter may be measured and
used in the calculation. As another example, the decentration of the pupil with
respect to the cornea may be taken into account.
FIGURE 3 illustrates an example of a method for calculating the
location of an IOL. In certain embodiments, the IOL location may be
calculated as a predetermined proportional distance between a crystalline
lens anterior location 110 and a crystalline lens posterior location 112.
In the example, thickness T is the distance between anterior location
110 and posterior location 112. The thickness of the IOL optic (and other
features of the IOL) may vary with IOL power. An IOL of the approximate
required power may be used when calculating the IOL location. The IOL
location may be described by distance D, where IOL 28 is distance D behind
anterior location 110. Any suitable part of the IOL may be used as the
reference point of the IOL, such as the center of the haptic, the anterior IOL
3815 F WO
surface, the anterior or center of the optic edge, or the center of the optic. The
IOL location may be estimated in any suitable manner. In certain
embodiments, distance D may be a predetermined proportion of thickness T.
For example, distance D may be a value in the range of 0.3 to 0.7 x thickness
T, such as D = 0.4T.
In certain embodiments, distance D may be determined from clinical
data by comparing postoperative locations with preoperative parameters and
determining correlations between the locations and parameters.
FIGURE 4 illustrates an example of a method for adjusting distances
using refractive indices. In the illustrated example, axis 20 may be divided into
different segments that each pass through different media corresponding to
different portions of the eye. A corneal segment 120 passes through cornea
24, an aqueous humor segment 124 through aqueous humor 125, a
crystalline lens segment 126 through lens 26, and a vitreous humor segment
130 through vitreous humor 131.
The optical distance (or length) of a path of light through a medium is
the product of the physical distance (or length) of the light path and the index
of refraction of the medium. The refractive index may be, e.g., a group
refractive index. Measuring devices typically measure distances along axis 20
as optical distances. An optical distance may be converted to a physical
distance using a refractive index. Known measuring devices typically use the
same refractive index (such as an average refractive index) for all the different
segments along axis 20. Certain embodiments, however, use different
refractive indices for different media along axis 20, which may improve
accuracy.
In these embodiments, an optical length of each segment may be
determined. Any suitable segments described herein may be used, e.g.,
segments between the anterior corneal location and the retinal location. A
refractive index of each segment may be determined. A physical length of
each segment may be calculated according to the optical length and the
refractive index of the segment. One or more locations may be adjusted in
accordance with the calculated physical length. For example, the locations
may be adjusted to match the physical length.
3815 F WO
The optical lengths of the segments may be determined in any suitable
manner. In certain embodiments, estimated physical lengths for the
segments may be obtained. One or more estimated refractive indices that
were used to determine the physical lengths may also be obtained. The
optical length may be calculated for each segment according to the estimated
physical length of the segment and the estimated refractive indices.
The refractive indices may be determined in any suitable manner. In
some cases, the refractive indices may be accessed from a memory. For
example, the actual refractive index of the IOL may be stored in and accessed
from a memory. In other cases, the refractive indices may be calculated from
empirical data. For example, length pairs that estimate a physical length of at
least a portion of the axis before and after an IOL operation may be obtained.
Each pair may comprise a pre-operative physical length and a post-operative
physical length. The post-operative physical length may comprise an IOL
thickness of an IOL inserted during the operation. In certain cases, e.g., when
an average refractive index is used to scale data from preoperative and
postoperative eyes, the axial lengths may appear to be different. Refractive
indices that, for each pair, yield the pre-operative physical length substantially
equal to the post-operative physical length may be determined. For example,
the refractive indices may be adjusted until the axial lengths are the same.
The refractive indices that yield the same lengths may be regarded as the
more accurate values.
Any suitable values may be used in the calculation. For example, the
IOL thickness may be determined by directly measuring the physical IOL
thickness or by measuring the IOL in the eye. In certain cases, one or more
values may be adjusted so that they describe the physical situation more or
less accurately. For example, a raytrace model may be a model that is more
accurate or one that is better for IOL prediction.
In certain embodiments, an IOL location may be calculated using the
physical lengths. In these embodiments, a length of a crystalline lens
segment may be determined. From the length of the crystalline lens segment
and the lengths of the other segments, a crystalline lens anterior location and
a crystalline lens posterior location may be determined. The IOL location may
then be calculated from the crystalline lens anterior location, the crystalline
3815 F WO
lens posterior location, and other parameters. For example, the IOL location
may be calculated using:
ACD = C + C *ACD + C *LT + C *AL + C *K
IOL 0 1 preop 2 preop 3 4 mean
where ACD represents the predicted anterior chamber depth (ACD) of the
IOL, C is a constant offset, ACD represents the pre-operative ACD of the
0 preop
crystalline lens, LT represents the pre-operative crystalline lens thickness,
preop
AL represents the axial length of the eye, and K represents the average
mean
corneal power. ACD may denote the distance from the anterior surface of the
cornea to the anterior surface of the IOL. A set of eyes can be measured
preoperatively and postoperatively to determine the coefficient values. Any
suitable values may be used for the coefficients, such as, C = [-8, -1], e.g., C
= -3.774; C = [0.5, 0.9], e.g., C = 0.675; C = [0.1, 0.7], e.g., C = 0.356; C =
1 1 2 2 3
[0 , 0.3], e.g., C = 0.091; and C = [0, 0.3], e.g., C = 0.056.
3 4 4
In other embodiments, the distance to a physical reference location for
the IOL, such as the center of the haptics, may be used. The reference
location may be determined using:
ACD + D = C + C *ACD + C *LT + C *AL + C *K
IOL 0 1 preop 2 preop 3 4 mean
where D is the distance from the anterior surface of the IOL to the reference
plane. Distance D may be different for different IOL powers. The actual
optical and physical design of the IOL with the correct approximate power
may be used for IOL power calculation.
In certain embodiments, an IOL power may be calculated using the
physical lengths. The IOL location and corneal data may be determined as
described herein. The retinal location may be determined from the physical
lengths. The IOL power of the IOL may then be calculated according to the
corneal data, the IOL location, and the retinal location.
