Optics for photorefractive keratectomy.
Matrix calculations are applied to Gaussian optics in the study of myopic correction by photorefractive keratectomy. The Colliac matrix formula determines the postoperative anterior curvature radius of the treated cornea. It also calculates the maximal depth of the removed corneal tissue and the ablation zone diameter needed to achieve emmetropia.
