Considerations on the Haigis formula: Are better outcomes possible with tuning?
Abstract Purpose To design a vergence‐based lens power formula based on the classical Haigis formula for better outcomes while retaining the original formula architecture. Methods Four new formula variants (A–D) incorporating a sum of segments correction for axial length, harmonic mean of corneal radii instead of arithmetic mean (all variants), and ...
