The mean of the measured pupil sizes was greater in myopic eyes than in hyperopic eyes. The spatial shift of the pupil center, as the pupil dilates, was relatively small in all groups; therefore, the pupil center is a good anatomic landmark for both traditional refractive surgery and wavefront-guided treatments. The mean distance between the keratoscopic axis and pupil center was greater in the hyperopic group than in the myopic group. Therefore, centration of any laser treatment on the basis of the keratoscopic analysis should be done carefully, especially in hyperopic eyes and in cases in which the pupil center is meaningfully shifted from keratoscopic axis, even in photopic conditions of illumination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
