Abstract
A method for measuring the radius of the posterior corneal surface using the first and second Purkinje images has recently been developed. Values for the posterior corneal radius in the vertical meridian obtained using this method are compared with those obtained using a more conventional slit lamp method. A good correlation was found between values obtained using the two methods.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
