Corneal resistance factor was parameter higher correlation intraocular pressure (IOP) values. Goldmann equivalent IOP obtained ORA for...
Purpose: To study the short-term corneal response to refractive therapy for myopia and correlate it with biomechanical properties as measured ocular analyzer. Methods: Eight eyes from 8 young subjects were fitted a reverse geometry contact lens, attempting myopic correction of −4.00 D. Corneal resistance factor hysteresis (CH) before lens fitting These parameters correlated degree change in apical curvature, simulated keratometry, central thickness after 3 hours wear (effect) removal...
Clinical relevance Accurate measurement of refractive errors is essential for vision correction. Understanding the strengths and limitations different techniques crucial clinical practice, particularly in managing patients with complex conditions.
The purpose of this study was to compare refractions measured with an autorefractor and by retinoscopy without cycloplegia. objective were performed in 199 right eyes from healthy young adults a mean age 21.6 +/- 2.66 years. measurements first cycloplegia repeated 30 min later Data analysed using Fourier decomposition the power profile. More negative values component M J(0) given non-cycloplegic autorefraction compared cycloplegic (p < 0.0001). However more positive for J(45) vector...
