Use of multiple regression techniques in determining the surface of the cornea.
Many methods can be used to obtain specific values for relative corneal location. This paper derives a method in which those points can be used to generate a mathematical equation which will accurately describe the patient's corneal topology. After various dimensional methods are discussed, a three-dimensional mathematical method is derived.
