Abstract

We measured changes in optical-aberrations and corneal-shapes with standard-LASIK. Decrease in contrast-sensitivity is explained optically. Simulations and experiments on corneal-models show that asphericity-increase is not caused by the theoretical ablation-profile, but primarily by laser-efficiency changes.
