Equation for Corneal Asphericity After Corneal Refractive Surgery
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2003ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To determine the exact theoretical asphericity after refractive surgery when the parabolic approximation of the Munnerlyn formula is utilized. METHOD: From a least-square analysis and considering the conicoid model for anterior cornea, we calculated the final asphericity (p '-factor) from the preoperative ...

Corneal Asphericity and IOL Power Calculation in Eyes With Aspherical IOLs
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2017PURPOSE: Given that a previous study found that corneal asphericity influences the refractive outcome of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation by means of thin-lens formulas in eyes with spherical IOLs, the authors aimed to verify whether such influence can also be observed in eyes with aspherical IOLs.

Corneal Asphericity in Eye Bank Eyes Implanted with the Intrastromal Corneal Ring
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1997ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of the intrastromal corneal ring, a device developed to reduce myopia, on corneal asphericity in a large set of eye bank eyes. METHODS: Forty-one deturgesced eye bank eyes were implanted with intrastromal corneal rings of five different thicknesses, ranging from 0.25 mm to 0.45 mm. Corneal

Differences between real and predicted corneal shapes after aspherical corneal ablation
Applied Optics, 2005We study the differences between real and expected corneal shapes, using an aspherical ablation algorithm with a known equation and avoiding the limitation imposed by most studies of refractive surgery in which the ablation equations are not known. We have calculated the theoretical corneal shape predicted by this algorithm, comparing this shape with ...

Posterior Corneal Asphericity and the Refractive Outcome after Combined Phacovitrectomy
Klinische Monatsblätter für Augenheilkunde, 2023Abstract Background We assessed the correlation of posterior corneal asphericity and the refractive prediction error of the SRK-T and Barrett II Universal formulas for eyes following phacovitrectomy with peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM). Patients and Methods We retrospectively analyzed 41 eyes of 41 patients
