Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Before astigmatism reducing surgery, accurate corneal horizontal marking before surgery is important. Due to new corneal topographic method, iTrace™ surgical workstation, precise evaluation of corneal horizontal marking is available. In this study the investigators compared three known corneal horizontal making techniques and evaluate accuracy of each methods using iTrace™.
