A system and method are provided for combining the imaging capabilities of an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) device with the calculated results of ray tracing techniques. The combination is then used to derive a predictive refractive outcome for an optical model. The resultant optical model includes diopter power and size information for use in preoperative planning (e.g. a capsulotomy) and/or for the manufacture of an Intraocular Lens (IOL).
