[Calculation of corneal curvature after laser in situ keratomileusis for correction of myopia].

Objective: To describe and evaluate a refraction-derived method and a clinical-derived method to calculate the correct corneal curvature for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and to compare the results to the commonly used history-derived method.

Method: Retrospective analysis of consecutive case treated with LAIK clinically. We measured pre-LASIK and post-LASIK spectacle refraction, pre-LASIK and post-LASIK K readings in each patient.
