The Orbscan II 5.0 mm total axial power and 4.0 mm total optical power can be used to more accurately predict true corneal power than the history-based method and may be particularly useful when pre-LASIK data are unavailable.
Computerized scanning-slit videokeratography, which analyzes the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea, and the contact lens overrefraction method gave good estimations of corneal power in patients with irregular corneal astigmatism. This type of analysis may improve the accuracy of IOL calculation in patients with corneal pathology and irregular astigmatism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
