Corneal asphericity and its related factors [PDF]
Background: Proper correction of spherical aberration using intraocular lenses requires precise selection of the sphericity of intraocular lens surfaces based on individual biometric data and corneal asphericity coefficient (Q value). This study aimed to determine and analyze the corneal Q value and its related factors among Saudi participants. ...

Anterior corneal profile with variable asphericity [PDF]
We present a corneal profile in which the eccentricity, e(Q=-e(2)), has a nonlinear continuous variation from the center outwards. This nonlinear variation is intended to fit and reproduce our current experimental data in which the anterior corneal surface of the human eye exhibits different values of e at different diameters. According to our clinical

Corneal power modelling with OCT data - Thin and thick lens paraxial models versus raytracing. [PDF]
Abstract Background Evaluating keratometric power with Zeiss index (PKZ), paraxial thick cornea power (Gullstrand [PG]) and power referenced to the front (PFV) and back vertex plane (PBV) and raytracing power (PR), and modelling the deviation from PKZ with a multivariable linear prediction model.

Age-Related Variations in Corneal Asphericity and Long-Term Changes
Purpose: Corneal front-surface asphericity is directly related with the optical quality of the eye and with contact lenses fitting. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the corneal asphericity as a function of age, sex, and refractive error measured with autokeratometry and corneal topography and its long-term changes (5 ...
