Changes in higher-order aberrations before and after pterygium surgery
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Using a wavefront analyzer, we assessed changes in higher-order aberrations before and after pterygium surgery. Both cases demonstrated that surgical excision of the pterygium improved uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, and higher-order aberration. Keywords: Pterygium, Higher-order aberration, Astigmatism.
