Fig. A.2. Correlation between fitted radius <strong>and</strong> asphericity for Pentacam data of<br />

corneal anterior (a) <strong>and</strong> posterior (b) surface. Diamonds: Subject 1. Circles: Subject 2.<br />

Triangles Subject 3.<br />

In order to find the degree of correlation in a broader set of conditions, we analyzed a<br />

dataset of repeated Pentacam measurements on patients before <strong>and</strong> after LASIK, at<br />

different time points, taken by three different operators in a clinical environment, <strong>and</strong><br />

measurements of non-operated control subjects taken in a laboratory environment,.<br />

This dataset consists of measurements from different subjects obtained on different<br />

days (3-6 measurements per day). In order to analyze the dispersion in these<br />

consecutive measurements, the average value of radius <strong>and</strong> asphericity for each<br />

subject <strong>and</strong> session was subtracted from all the measurements of the session. Figure<br />

A.3(a) shows the correlation between the dispersion in R <strong>and</strong> Q of the anterior corneal<br />

surface, for all patients pre- <strong>and</strong> post-LASIK, <strong>and</strong> for all controls. Figure A.3(b) shows<br />

the results for the posterior surface on the same eyes. The correlations are very strong<br />
