Posterior corneal astigmatism.
In the optical system of the human eye, total refractive power consists mainly of corneal and lenticular components. Approximately two-thirds of the eye's converging power is at the air–cornea (tear film) interface; one-third is in the lens. Total corneal power is determined by corneal anterior and posterior curvature, corneal thickness, and the corneal refractive indices. Traditionally, anteri...
متن کاملContribution of posterior corneal astigmatism to total corneal astigmatism.
PURPOSE To determine the contribution of posterior corneal astigmatism to total corneal astigmatism and the error in estimating total corneal astigmatism from anterior corneal measurements only using a dual-Scheimpflug analyzer. SETTING Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. DESIGN Case series. METHODS Total corneal astigmatism was calculated using ray trac...
متن کاملPosterior Corneal Characteristics of Cataract Patients with High Myopia
PURPOSE To evaluate the characteristics of the posterior corneal surface in patients with high myopia before cataract surgery. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study at the Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Corneal astigmatism and axial length were measured with a rotating Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam) and partial coherence interferometry (IOLMaster) in a high-m...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Posterior Corneal Astigmatism in Different Stages of Keratoconus
Purpose To evaluate the magnitudes and axis orientation of anterior corneal astigmatism (ACA) and posterior corneal astigmatism (PCA), the ratio of ACA to PCA, and the correlation between ACA and PCA in the different stages of keratoconus (KCN). Methods This retrospective case series comprised 161 eyes of 161 patients with KCN (104 men, 57 women; mean age, 22.35 ± 6.10 years). The participant...
متن کاملAnterior and Posterior Corneal Astigmatism after Refractive Lenticule Extraction for Myopic Astigmatism
Purpose. To assess the amount and the axis orientation of anterior and posterior corneal astigmatism after refractive lenticule extraction (ReLEx) for myopic astigmatism. Methods. We retrospectively examined 53 eyes of 53 consecutive patients (mean age ± standard deviation, 33.2 ± 6.5 years) undergoing ReLEx to correct myopic astigmatism (manifest cylinder = 0.5 diopters (D)). Power vector anal...
متن کاملChanges in Anterior, Posterior, and Total Corneal Astigmatism after Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty
Purpose. To evaluate changes in anterior, posterior, and total corneal astigmatism in patients after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Methods. We retrospectively included 29 eyes of 23 patients (age 67.6 ± 9.8 years, 13 female, 10 male) after DMEK surgery. The magnitude and axis orientation of anterior, posterior, and total corneal astigmatism before and after DMEK were determ...
