Abstract
The corneal shape of 196 eyes was determined by photokeratoscopy and subsequent fitting of a conicoid equation to four individual corneal meridians. This conicoid was found in almost all instances to be ellipsoidal, with the asphericity not varying between meridians. The corneal radius of curvature did vary as expected between meridians. The radii of curvature of these corneal meridians also varied with the age of the subjects, resulting in reduced corneal astigmatism, while the asphericity of each meridian did not vary substantially with age.
Citations:
Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
