Popis: This paper presents a methodology to assist ophthalmologists on the prescription of the best lens power for a given patient, based on corneal topography exams described by Zernike polynomials. The results were analyzed based on the MTF, and the area under the MTF. It is shown that the employed methodology can provide supplemental information to analyze the visual acuity, helping in the prescription of the suitable IOL for each patient, not only based on lens power empirical formulas, but in accurate simulation data of semi-custom models for each patient.
