A direct method to measure the power of the central cornea after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis.

Objective: To measure the corneal power after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Methods: Six central areas in 6 corneal power maps were studied using the Orbscan II statistical analysis device in 26 eyes that underwent myopic LASIK. Refractive and corneal power changes were compared.
