Abstract
An apparatus, system and method for predictive modeling to design, evaluate and optimize ophthalmic lenses is disclosed. Ophthalmic lenses may include, for example, contacts, glasses or intraocular lenses (IOLs). The apparatus, system and method may include a design tool for designing a lens for implantation in an eye having a plurality of characteristics, a simulator for simulating performance of the lens in at least one modeled eye having the plurality of characteristics, at least one input for receiving clinical performance of the lens in the eye having the plurality of characteristics, a comparator for comparing outcomes of the clinical performance and the simulated performance, and an optimizer for optimizing a subsequent one of the outcome of the clinical performance responsive to modification of the lens in accordance with modification to the simulated performance.
