Proposed formula for the dioptric power evaluation of the posterior corneal surface.
The author performed mathematical calculations to determine the radius of the corneal posterior surface. Knowledge of this value can be used to accurately compute the intraocular lens power, especially in corneas modified by refractive surgery, such as keratomileusis or epikeratophakia.
