The optical project: optics and topography involving the cornea and lens

Abstract

We have developed a new analysis algorithm that has several advantages compared to current approaches: it is more accurate, it directly recovers position of the cornea, and it produces a continuous map over the entire surface. To develop this algorithm, we have assimilated ideas from a variety of fields, including ray-tracing (computer graphics and optics), smooth B-spline surfaces (geometric modeling) and simulation.
