Question

Calculate the anterior, posterior and total power of the cornea using the surface power formula?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The posterior corneal power was calculated by Kp = (n2 − n1)/Rp, where n2 is the refractive index of aqueous (1.333) and Rp is the posterior radius of curvature within central 3.0 mm area. The net corneal power was calculated by K = Ka + Kp − D × Ka × Kp/n1, where D is the central corneal thickness.
