A system and method for correcting corneal irregularities through reshaping of an eye's cornea to provide a desired corrective corneal curvature. A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a topography device for mapping in detail the irregularities and surface deviations of a cornea, an interface system for receiving and manipulating topographical data and for providing directions to a laser system or the like to carry out a predetermined ablation profile on a substrate such as a corneal stroma and for providing a variety of actual and simulated pre and post operative visual depictions. The interface system, which can be a stand alone item, provides a tool for use by a surgeon or the like which allows a surgeon to input his expertise in the development of a clinical ablation profile that is well suited for the eye characteristics, review and also simulate a wide variety of potential surgical alternatives for a wide variety of corneal defects including irregular eye shapes and corneal surface irregularities.

Système et méthode permettant de corriger les irrégularités cornéennes par le remodelage de la cornée d'un oeil afin d'obtenir une courbure corrective désirée de la cornée. Un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention comprend un dispositif de topographie pour le mappage détaillé des irrégularités et des écarts de surface d'une cornée, un système d'interface pour recevoir et manipuler les données topographiques et fournir des directives à un système laser ou analogue afin d'exécuter un profil d'ablation prédéterminé sur un substrat comme un stroma cornéen et de fournir une variété de représentations visuelles réelles et simulées avant et après l'opération. Le système d'interface, qui peut être un élément autonome, fournit un outil qui permet à un chirurgien ou analogue de contribuer au développement d'un profil d'ablation clinique qui est bien adapté aux caractéristiques des yeux, d'examiner et de simuler une grande variété de solutions de rechange chirurgicales potentielles pour une vaste gamme de défauts cornéens, y compris des formes irrégulières des yeux et des irrégularités de surface cornéenne.
