Aphakia correction by synthetic intracorneal implantation: a new tool for quantitative predetermination of the optical quality.
To improve the a priori estimation of optical quality of synthetic intracorneal implantation, numerical calculations were performed involving the intraocular overpressure, the cleavage depth and the type of the implant. Optical correction ratios, that were determined, are in close agreement with the obtained mechanical effects.
