The relative ablation efficiency at different materials (in particular human cornea and poly
(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)) was analysed. A comprehensive model, which directly …

In this work, we propose an adjustment factor to be considered in ablation algorithms used
in refractive surgery. This adjustment factor takes into account potential deviations of …

We provide a correction factor to be added in ablation algorithms when a Gaussian beam is
used in photorefractive laser surgery. This factor, which quantifies the effect of pulse …

A general method to analyze the loss of ablation efficiency at non-normal incidence in a
geometrical way is provided. The model is comprehensive and directly considers curvature …

Purpose: Controversial opinions exist regarding optimum laser beam characteristics for
achieving smoother ablations in laser-based vision correction. The purpose of the study was …

We developed a rigorous simulation model to evaluate ablation algorithms and surgery
outcomes in laser refractive surgery. The model (CASIM: Corneal Ablation SIMulator) …
