Corneal Centre to Periphery: Astigmatism Changes
The study analyzed corneal topography data from 641 elderly patients to assess mid-peripheral astigmatism. It found that central corneal astigmatism differs from mid-peripheral measurements, with a greater difference in patients with against-the-rule, oblique, and high astigmatism. The magnitude ...
